Charged Particle Density
Tracking detectors - h ? 0 measurements
- Tracklets in Spectrometer
- Tracklets in Vertex detector
Single layer detectors - 4? measurements
- Use deposited energy (dE/dx) in each Si-pad
- Count hits above threshold, assume Poisson-statistics
All four measurements corrected for:
secondary particles, feed-down from weak decay, stopping particles
from 4.5% (Tracklets in Spectrometer) to 10% (Hit counting)
All four methods deliver consistent results - final results averaged
