Ab correlations --------------- 3 analyses each producing a list of events used, charge sign decision and event weights in the Ab fit. The event list tabulation instructions were: write Run,event,weight,abs(costh) format(1x,I8,4x,I8,4x,F8.4,4x,F8.4) The cos(theta) values is explicitly tabulated, but by absolute value while the weight is still signed as before and with the costh factor taken out. So the weight factor should include Weight = Q * Wb * Fpol * (1-D_QCD) where Q = charge (charge of jet, vtx, lepton, kaon all turn out to be -ve for b quark). Wb = analysis event weight, depending on b fraction and various analyzing power terms. Fpol = (Ae-Pe)/(1-Ae*Pe) 1-D_QCD = still evaluated as function of cos(theta) event by event The same data sample of Winter98 was used with results: File Nevt wt1-sum wt2-sum wt2-cth First-evt Last-evt Jet-Q 8359 2313.029 893.731 96.652 41112 229 42596 8010 Lepton 6633 1262.361 474.963 46.959 41060 1709 42596 8010 Vtx+K 6547 2896.266 1342.100 146.304 41112 229 42596 8010 Jet-Q Lepton Nevent wt2-cth Nevent wt2-cth W1*W2 Non-overlap 5609 67.034 3877 14.443 Agree 1833 22.586 1833 25.432 18.938 Disagree 920 7.032 920 7.085 -4.034 Correlation coefficient = 0.2212 Jet-Q Vtx+K Nevent wt2-cth Nevent wt2-cth W1*W2 Non-overlap 3344 37.278 1532 31.911 Agree 3545 48.822 3545 83.222 54.965 Disagree 1470 10.552 1470 31.171 -14.213 Correlation coefficient = 0.3427 Lepton Vtx+K Nevent wt2-cth Nevent wt2-cth W1*W2 Non-overlap 4546 23.513 4460 104.472 Agree 1373 18.196 1373 29.207 19.289 Disagree 714 5.251 714 12.625 -6.111 Correlation coefficient = 0.1590 Because the full analyses were covering different data periods, a set of corrected correlation coefficients are made for the final overall combination: Win-98 data actual analysis data periods ----------- ----------------------------- JetQ vs Lepton 22.1 22.1 (~100% overlap) JetQ vs Vtx+K 34.3 32.0 (87%) JetQ vs Ktag 23.1 8.3 (13%) Lepton vs Vtx+K 15.9 14.5 (83%) Lepton vs Ktag 10.4 4.3 (17%) Vtx-Q vs Ktag 0 0 (93-5 separate from 96-98) The corrections are based on JetQ 93-5,96-98 wt=13/87 Lept 93-5,96-98 wt=17/83 Ktag 94-5 only wt=100/0 Vtx-Q 96-98 only wt=0/100 Corr-coef correct ~ sqrt(data period overlap weight fraction)*Corr0
