4.8 Electron Yield
4.8.8 Yield Ratio
Figure 4.42 shows the invariant cross sections of all electron sources. In this analysis, not absolute normalizations of the cross sections but yield ratios are important. The yield ratios before and after the isolation cut are calculated as follows:
R0i = Yi0
!
j∈all sources
Yj0, (4.54)
Rvi = !isoi ·Yi0
!
j∈all sources
!isoj ·Yj0 = !corri ·Yi0
!
j∈all sources
!corrj ·Yj0, (4.55) where
R0i: the yield ratio ofi-th source before the isolation cut, Rvi: the yield ratio of i-th source after the isolation cut,
As is mentioned in Sec. 4.1, the yield ratios of the charm and bottom electrons are not separated here, and are handled in being combined as the heavy-quark electrons.
The yield ratios of charm and bottom electrons are necessary to obtain!corrof heavy-quark electrons. The mean of those of charm and bottom electrons is utilized as that of heavy quark electrons, and an error is assigned to cover the errors of both charm and bottom electrons. When the ratios are calculated, a weight which corresponds to the reconstruction efficiency is applied toYi0. Although the absolute value of the efficiency does not evaluated in this analysis, its dependence on pT is evaluated with the sum ofYi0and the measuredpT distribution of the inclusive electrons. The ratio of them represents not the absolute value but the dependence onpT of the reconstruction efficiency. Figure 4.41 shows the measured pT distribution of the inclusive electrons over the sum ofYi0. ThepT distribution is normalized by the number of the inclusive electrons forpT > 1 GeV/c. The sum ofYi0is not corrected by integrated luminosity.
The ratio increases at 1 < pT <2 GeV/c and is flat at pT >2 GeV/c. Figure 4.43

and Fig. 4.44 show the yield ratios before and after the isolation cut. Before the isolation cut is applied, photonic electrons are the largest background, but decays from heavy quarkonia become the largest at pT > 2.5 GeV/c.
In order to check a consistency of the yield ratios and survival fraction, the hit distributions located close to associated hits to electron tracks are compared between the data and simulation. The hit distribution of the simulation is created by com-bining the distributions of all electron sources with respect to the yield ratios, shown

in Fig. 4.43. Figure 4.45 shows the hit distributions. The red represents the inclu-sive electrons of the data. The blue and magenta represent the electrons from π0, conversion electrons in the simulation, respectively. The green and black represent the uncorrelated hits and the sum of electrons from all the sources, respectively. The distribution of the uncorrelated hits is the hit distribution of hadrons. The hit dis-tributions are successfully reproduced by the simulation at any pT range. The main contribution for the hit distribution of B0 is the electrons from π0, and that of B1 is conversion electrons. Therefore, yields of the conversion electrons and the electrons from π0 decays are successfully evaluated by the simulation. The contribution of conversion electrons is small in B0 though that of B1 is large. This is because hits created by a conversion pair are reconstructed into a hit cluster, not into two, since the conversion point is too close to B0. The negative side of cdphi distributions are mainly reproduced by the distributions of the uncorrelated hits for any pT ranges though main contributors are different at each range, i.e. the main contributors at 1 < pT < 2 GeV/c are the conversion electrons and the electrons from π0 decays, and that at 3 < pT < 4 GeV/c is the heavy quark electrons. It suggests that the uncorrelated term, !r, does not depend on sources of electrons and can be well approximated by the survival fraction of hadrons.
Another consistency check is performed by comparing the yields of the inclusive electrons of the data and the simulation after the isolation cut. This comparison also provide a good test of the yield and survival fraction of each electron source. The yield of the inclusive electrons of the simulation is calculated as follows:
Ysv = !
i∈all sources
!isoi ·Yi0 (4.56)
= !
i∈all sources
!corri !r·Ri0 Yd0, (4.57) where
Ysv: the yield of the inclusive electrons in the simulation after the isolation cut, Yi0: the yield of i-th source before the isolation cut,
Yd0: the yield of the inclusive electrons in the data before the isolation cut, R0i: the yield ratio ofi-th source before the isolation cut, shown in Fig. 4.43.
The survival fraction of hadrons is utilized as !r. Figure 4.46 shows the yields of the inclusive electrons of the data and the simulation. The crosses and the open circles represent the yield of the data and the simulation, respectively. The black, the red, the green, and the brown circles represent the yields of heavy-quark electrons, conversion electrons, the electrons fromπ0 decays, and form heavy quarkonia, respectively. The
