Figure 7.7: Double ratio plots as a function of transverse energy of photon candidate<br />

E γ T (a, b) and its pseudorapidity ηγ (c, d). Plots show situation before the calibration (a,<br />

c) and after calibration (b, d). Horizontal lines show the evaluated 2% error on the MC<br />

description of hadronic energy.<br />

criteria 0.7 < z < 0.9). In such a phase space, the prompt photon signal contributes<br />

on the negligible level and the background samples may be scaled to the measured<br />

data distribution. Figure 7.8a presents the x jet<br />

γ distribution together with the fitted<br />

direct and resolved background MCs. Significant difference between both distributions<br />

can be observed, which allows a meaningful fit. A good description of the data<br />

by the sum of scaled background MC can be noted as well. The background direct<br />

MC must be scaled by a factor 5.46, and the resolved component by 1.71. One<br />

should though keep in mind that due to preselection of the isolated neutral particle<br />

on the generator level (see section 2.1.2) those scaling factors do not have much<br />

meaning outside of the analysis presented in this particular thesis. The background<br />

scaling factors, with the assumption of the cluster shapes insensitivity to event class,<br />

is important only for the next step of the event class ratio tuning.<br />

• Tuning signal event class ratios<br />

The signal event class ratio determination is more complicated, as it is not easy to<br />

obtain pure enough signal event sample. The signal enhanced selection follows the<br />

standard inclusive prompt photon selection with an additional cut on the discriminator<br />

(D > 0.7). In this way the influence of the background is minimised, but still<br />

can not be fully neglected. The x jet<br />

γ distribution together with two fitted components<br />

(direct and resolved prompt photons) and a fixed background distribution is<br />

shown in figure 7.8b. The background in this case was fixed to the scales obtained
