Data

Event Selection

Warning

CASTOR has been discontinue so the data resides at FNAL and also under my public at MIT.

Data

The full dataset can be found at full dataset:

FNAL/LPC cubreto/HeavyIons/Onia/Data2011/dimuonTree_150mub.root
CERN/LxPlus cubreto/HeavyIons/Onia/Data2011/dimuonTree_150mub.root

I started analysing the Heavy Ions data by fitting the three Upsilon peaks using the RooFit package:

Roofit is a dedicated fitting package which interfaces with RooStats allowing proper statistical analysis. The RooFit library provides a toolkit for modeling the expected distribution of events in a physics analysis. In order to use RooFit and RooStats you need the latest root version. From Lxplus:

> source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/gcc/4.3.2/x86_64-slc5/setup.csh
> source /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/app/releases/ROOT/5.34.02/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/root/bin/thisroot.csh

Running the fitter will fit the three upsilon peaks. Our nominal fitter produces the following results.

Trying the RooKeysPdf option yields.
