Dear PandaRooters and GEM experts,

in the analysis of the reaction: pbar p -> Xi Xibar pi pibar -> 3 pi 3 pibar p pbar we see a significant drop in the reconstruction efficiency depending on the GEM geometry we use. With the old geometry (gem_3Stations_Tube.root) we get 18.3% (15.2% MCTruth matched) of reconstructable events with all final state particles in the event, while with the new geometry (gem_3Stations_realistic_v2.root) this value drops to 6.4% (4.3% MCTruth matched).

It is not clear if this is a real effect of the additional material introduced by the more realistic description of the GEMs or if there is still a bug in the geometry description which causes the drop of a factor 3.

It would be great if an expert on the GEMs could have a look.

Cheers,

Tobias

Something similar happened several years ago, when the geometry of one GEM plane was shifted a bit, and the corresponding recohits were not properly updated (and the Kalman was not able to fit such wrongly placed hits).

Hi there,

Does it happen only for this one specific channel?

I will have a look into the problem tomorrow.

yours

I cannot tell if it is only for this channel but I guess that this effect is there for all particles with long decay lengths like lambdas and cascades.
