Outline
ALICE and pp trigger efficiencies• ALICE detectors for first physics with protons
• Process Types
• First physics trigger efficiencies
Diffraction and PYTHIA• Kinematic comparison – PYTHIA 6.4 and PHOJET
• Diffraction in PYTHIA – then and now
• Comparison of kinematic plots – PYHTIA 8.310
• Summary
3
A Large Ion Collider Experiment • Primary purpose – heavy ion detector for Pb-Pb collisions at 5.5 TeV
• First physics programme is pp at 0.9, 2.36, 7 (maybe 10) and 14 TeV
- Time and space alignments
- pp bench mark to study genuine Pb-Pb effects
• Special features for pp collisions:
- Low magnetic field => low pT cut-off, tracking resolution from 100 MeV/c
- Excellent PID over broad range of momenta
- Primary vertex resolution (100μm for pp, 10 μm for Pb-Pb)
• pp Physics contributions:
- Physics cross checks with previous results
- Good description of underlying event and high multiplicity collisions
• 1st measurements: , multiplicity and momentum distributions

Trigger Efficiencies and corrections
processprocesstotaltriggered efNN /Efficiency
• Need to know the fraction (f) and the efficiency (e) for each process. • Efficiency is process, trigger and generator dependent
Eg: MB1 = SPD or V0A or V0C

Fraction (f) 0.187 0.127 0.686
Efficiency (e) 0.714 0.864 0.999

Efficiency (e) 0.767 0.938 0.999
MB1 efficiencies:
Pythia: 92.9%
Phojet: 96.4%
Reason for difference: f – uncertainty in
fractionse – uncertainty in
kinematics
Major difference is in diffractive events
~2-4% effect each

Diffraction in PYTHIA – “old”
Event Generation:
• Diffractive cross sections given by model by Schuler and Sjöstrand (Phys. Rev. D 49, 2257 (1994))
• Diffractive mass ( ) and momentum transfer (t) generated according to:

Particle Production:
• above mass of incoming particles => isotropic decay into 2-body state
• More massive system treated as a string with quantum numbers of the original hadron

Pomeron couples to valence quarks
Dominates at small
Diffraction in “old” PYTHIA – stretching the string
Version 6.214 (Fortran)
• q and g contributions are set by a user-defined fixed ratio
Version 8.1 (C++)
• Slope p and normalisation N set by user
• mass ( ) dependence
• Gluonic domination at large
Has a gluon (g) and quark (q) contribution

Diffraction in PYTHIA 8.130 – “new”Event Generation:• Cross sections - same way as before
• Diffractive mass ( ) and momentum transfer (t) picked by Pomeron flux model
Particle Production: • Pomeron-p collisions
• Pomeron PDF with - dependence from H1 data
- H1 2007 DPDF Fit Jets and H1 2006 Fits A and B
- Pion PDF also available
• Standard PYTHIA machinery for multiple interactions, parton showers, hadronization
Mass separation:• For non-perturbative description (as before)
- longitudinally stretched strings
• For perturbative

• Does cut-off depend on the diffractive mass?
• Introduce a screening factor to go from ep to pp collisions
• Momentum sum of PDFs
• H1 2006 DPDF LO fit
• Tuning to data

Summary
• The ALICE detectors and trigger for the first pp physics programme were discussed
• Trigger efficiencies are model dependent - PYTHIA and PHOJET
• Earlier versions of PYTHIA had a primitive description of diffraction
• No hard diffraction – caused the difference in pT and multiplicity tails compared to PHOJET
• New version (8.130) has Pomeron description of diffraction
• Hard collisions can be simulated
• Better agreement with PHOJET
27
• ALICE first paper
• Extraction of fractions from data - ALICE
• Diffraction in Phojet

ALICE first paper - arXiv: 0911.5430 [hep-ex]
• Trigger – atleast 2 fired chips in coincidence with bunches – 284 events
• Magnetic field off; SPD used for analysis; SDD, SSD and V0 used for cross checks and background ID and removal.
• In the region
• Trigger efficiency obtained from MC PYTHIA 6.141 D6T and PHOJET 1.12:
SD – 48% to 58%, DD – 53% to 76%, ND – 98% to 99%
• Fractions taken from UA5:
SD – , DD - , ND –
• Trigger efficiencies: Inelastic - 87% to 91%, NSD – 94% to 97%
• Results obtained with PYTHIA, difference between PYTHIA and PHOJET used to estimate systematic uncertainty.
