Nuclear Modification Ratios (RCP) for resonances
RHIC results have shown as, in the intermediate
pt region, nuclear modification factors depend on
the constituent quarks rather than on particle
mass.
Recent suggestion by Maiani et al. (Phys. Lett.
B645(2007)138) to use this observable to solve
the problem of the real quark composition of some
resonances as the fo(980)( or
?)

PROOF analysis on CAF - Main input values

/COMMON/COMMON/LHC08c11_10TeV_0.5T - ? absolute value of the resonance code (e.g.
2224 for ? and ant- ?, 10221 for f0). !!!
Pythia6 code, mass, width, could differ from
PDG ones (e.g. 9010221 for f0). Look at the
PYTHIA6 particle table in the file

8AliRsn analysis output info
- Main output
- 3 types of the invariant mass distribution for
particle pairs - 1. true event pairs, true signal, Strue, from
Monte-Carlo (MC) - - will be fitted by the Breit-Wigner (BW)
with parameters M0 , G0 - 2. event pairs, signalsbackgrount (SB)
- 3. mixed event pairs, background (Bmix)
- - Bmix will be normalized to SB in the region
Minv.mass gt Mb - - the extracted signal (SB) - Bmix

Results with MC are very close to ones with
reconstruction. All open questions still exist.

resonances? Additional source of signals in
PYTHIA6 GEANT primaries can be decay products of

18Conclusions and recommendations
- The AliRsn package works well. Takes 10 min. on
CAF for 3 105 pp _at_ 10 TeV events. - Thanks a lot Alberto with colleagues.
- 1. The signal extracted with mixed events,
(SB)-Bmix , is higher than the true signal Strue
, exception ? ? KK- - 2. Large ?2 of the BW fit. G0(fit)lt G0(PYTHIA6),
exception K0? Kp- - 3. PYTHIA6 multiplicity of f0 is too low! Only
ONE pp- pair from f0 - Recommendations for AliRsn
- to test the package with a cocktail generator
with random primary particles resonances
(PYTHIA6 primaries can be decay products of
resonances) - to list all mothers of the pair studied
- to list multiplicity of all primaries
