History of Single Electron Measurement
Single electronは1970年代の初期にCERN-ISRにおいて測定された.
当時は charm quarkがまだ発見されていなかった.

Singnal and Background
Photonic Electron
Photon Conversion
Main photon source: p0h → gg
In material: g → e+e- (Major contribution of photonic electron)
Dalitz decay of light neutral mesons
p0h → g e+e- (Large contribution of photonic)
The other Dalitz decays are small contributions
Direct Photon (is estimated as very small contribution)
Non-photonic Electron
Heavy flavor electrons (the most of all non-photonic)
Weak Kaon decays
Ke3: K± → p0 e± e (< 3% of non-photonic in pT > 1.0 GeV/c)
Vector Meson Decays
wfJ/y → e+e- (< 2-3% of non-photonic in all pT.)

Background Subtraction: Cocktail Method
Most sources of background
have been measured in
PHENIX
Decay kinematics and
photon conversions can be
reconstructed by detector
simulation
Then, subtract “cocktail” of
all background electrons from
the inclusive spectrum
Advantage is small statistical
error.
17
Background Subtraction: Converter Method
We know precise radiation length (X0) of each detector material
The photonic electron yield can be measured by increase of
additional material (photon converter was installed)
Advantage is small systematic error in low pT region
Background in non-photonic is
subtracted by cocktail method

Energy Loss of Heavy Quark
In vacuum, q < mQ/EQ ではGluonの制動放射が抑制される
 “dead cone” effect
