cookie vs. grease

pi/p photon yield and separation power with cookies and grease

  • CERN 18
  • pi/p at 7 GeV/c
  • S403 S430, bar with 3-layer spherical lens
  • Cookies location: bar-cookie-lens-cookie-prism
  • Cookies material: RTV615
  • phi = 0 degree
  • Time imaging reconstruction with data-based PDFs
