Preliminary Results for pibeta 1997 Beam Time


Here is a Plot of a pi->e nu peak from the 1997 data.
You can also get a postscript file of this image.

The gaussian fit has a sigma of 65.6 +/- 3.8 and a mean of 2097 +/- 5.5 which would indicate a FWHM/peak pos of about 7.4% (+/- 0.4%). An ascii file containing the data shown is this plot can be found here. The file was generated bt PAW using the hist/get/contents command and then the vect/write command. The histogram has 50 bins with limits of 1730 and 2730. You can also get the zebra file here: temp.rz.gz (~5.7MB). One should note that this file also contains Michel events cut on a high discriminator threshold and prescaled by a factor of 30 for sum_all less than 1700.

Here are the cut definitions for the cuts used to get the above peak:

  1. = sum_all.GT.1730
  2. = decay.LT.400.and.sumpvgm.LT.300
  3. = td0.GT.50.and.td0.LT.80
  4. = (c36+c37+c39+c40).LT.20
  5. = (maxc=14.or.maxc=16.or.maxc=22.or.maxc=26)
  6. = percent.LT.4
  7. = $1.and.$2.and.$3.and.$4.and.$5.and.$6 $7 depends on $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6

Cut #7 was what was actually used
Here is another plot but without cut # 5 from above. It has a peak that is about 7.8% (+/- 0.2%) wide.
Here is a postcript version.
