Hello.
I was looking at some decays involving \pi0s. When trying to reconstruct them from 2 photons
and check MC truth I get no correct combinations at all - all gamma-gamma go to wrong
combination case (see the attached plots).
I am using January 2016 release.

Can you attach the analysis macro you wrote?

It is the same as I used for my previous checks last year - attached.

Is this problem already solved?

Because some time ago I was not able to use the stored Fairlinks after the digitization stage anymore, due to a bug in the recent Fairroot version as far as I remember.

Maybe this is caused by the same bug.

What macros did you use for the complete simulation/digitization/reconstruction chain?

Cheers,

Tobias

I used the set of macros from tutorials/rho directory which are run from the script
tut_runall.sh except the simulation macro that was slightly modified (attached).

Hi,
I think tutorial macros are not yet updated to use FairLinks, while the ones in macro/run should be good.
I suggest the following: you need to add the code line:

fRun->SetUseFairLinks(kTRUE);

before

FairRuntimeDb *rtdb=fRun->GetRuntimeDb();

In all the macros sim digi reco and pid. This should solve the problem.

The way to solve the problem of misaligned macros is in the repository since few versions, I will report maybe next SeeVogh.

Hi,
the proposed remedy seems to solve the problem, but only partially - see attachments. There are still signal combinations in the "no match" sample.
Any other suggestions?

I have not well understood, which are the problems of the no-match plot?

Naively I was expecting it to be looking completely "background-like", i.e. without a peak at \pi0-mass value.
And, indeed, it was really like that about 1.5 years ago or so (see attachment).

Dear Alexander,

I think the problem is, that you have photon conversion before the calorimeter is hit. In this case the neutral candidate is not treated as the original photon but as the converter electron in the MC matching. You could check this if you ask the particles in your nm plot what the PID of their mother particle is.

Cheers,

Tobias

Hello.
I tried to do what was suggested (at least as think I did what was suggested), i.e. for pi0-candidates which were classified as "no-matched with MC" I checked PDG codes of both daughters and they are 22 (photons).

Another strange thing (for me - maybe somehow related to this): if I do
PndAnalysis* theAnalysis = new PndAnalysis();

theAnalysis->FillList(mclist, "McTruth");

// Get number of pi0 decaying into gam gam
for (int jmc = 0; jmc < mclist.GetLength(); ++jmc) {
if (mclist[jmc]->PdgCode() != 111) continue; // select only pi0
hpi0_mult->Fill(mclist[jmc]->NDaughters());
}
I get quite a few cases with only one daughter. Is it a normal behavior?

If one of the photons is going in a direction without leaving a signal in the detector this can happen, the daugher is not stored in the MCTrack. This is a setting in the g3Config.C:

 st->SetMinPoints(1);

If you do:

 st->SetMinPoints(0);

then you will see also the particles w/o leaving hits in the detectors, but your MC data size will be much larger.

Hello.
I have managed to check the proposed explanation of the origin of the "non-matched" pi0's. They are indeed due to early interactions of decay photons. So, I suppose the case can be closed. Thanks for cooperation.
