1 Absolute photon energy calibration using π s A.D. Bukin BINP, Novosibirsk June 1, 25 BaBar Note #571 BaBar Note #582 analytically First idea of deconvolution algorithm Idea to use special fitting functions which can be convoluted BaBar Note #588 This work. Attempt to estimate the systematic limits for deconvolution algorithm

2 Choice of fitting curve for asymmetric peaks Good fitting curve should have the following properties: Allow asymmetry of peak over wide range from Gaussian distribution to almost triangle Continuity and smoothness in the peak region in order to provide low bias in peak position determination Provide reasonable χ 2 for most distributions over π mass and photon energy It would be convenient to have peak position among the fit parameters of the curve A.D.

5 Fitting photon energy distribution For high statistics the most adequate the following fitting function was admitted: F 3g1λ (η; A, ψ 1, ψ 2, x p, σ g1, σ g2, σ g3, λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 = = A {ψ 1 F g1λ (η; x p, σ g1, λ (1 ψ 1 ψ 2 F g1λ (η; x p, σ g2, λ (1 ψ 1 (1 ψ 2 F g1λ (η; x p, σ g3, λ 3 } where 9 parameters ψ 1, ψ 2, x p, σ g1, σ g2, σ g3, λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 are form parameters, and A is a normalization factor.

6 Fitting γγ inv. mass distribution ( z = ln m γγ m π 1 2 ln E γ1 E (true γ1 + ln E γ2 E (true γ2 = 1 2 (η 1 + η 2. For symmetric decays we have the convolution of identical unknown photon energy distributions. Supposing that they are of the type F 3g1λ, we can find the convolution analytically and get fitting function for z-distribution: F ms (z; A, ψ 1, ψ 2, x p, σ g1, σ g2, σ g3, λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 where 9 parameters ψ 1, ψ 2, x p, σ g1, σ g2, σ g3, λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 are actually the parameters of unknown energy distribution, and A is a normalization factor.

27 Conclusion A function F 3g1λ (x; A, ψ 1, ψ 2, x p, σ g1 σ g2, λ proved to be a good asymmetric fitting function for the photon energy distribution. For several energy bins deconvolution algorithm of absolute energy calibration was tested. This procedure for Monte Carlo events provides the estimates of systematic errors due to ignorance of angular fluctuations. Problems: Inconsistency of combinatorial background and estimate of background formed by photons of neighbouring events. High level of correlation of the parameters of fitting function makes the minimization of χ 2 a difficult task for MINUIT. A.D. Bukin EMC calib. meeting June 1, 25 27
