To estimate the number of pileup tracks
Note: dN/dz is written
as dNdz this is true for all derivatives in this analysis.
This simplifies to: (see space charge analysis code)
pseudo rapidity particle density for central
Measured min bias cross section at RHIC, F. Retiere
Minbias event rate, ZDC count rate
9.1 kHz at the start of a good run, see Run Log entry for run 5081011
03:21 21-March-2004, this must be at the time that the run has been started. This run peaks at 12 kHz according to the RICH scalers. There is another run that peaks higher at 15 kHz (phone call to Marco Van Leeuwen who checked RICH scalers. We will use 10 kHz as the nominal maximum rate because there will always be a start up delay. Improvements in luminosity are expected largely to be improvements in average, but RHIC II will have peak luminosity increases of 2-3 times the 15 kHz reported above.
Min bias cross section for ZDC coinc. (Jamie Dunlop)
The canonical design luminosity is 2X1026/cm2/sec for Au+Au, so this is 5 times design.
Does the integral look right? We expect 2 for the integral over ~-1<h<1
Find z at h = 1
guess value
found value
OK checks out
Convolute the dh/dz distribution over the diamond
OK looks all right
