Total Transverse Energy Event Samples

for a definition of total transverse energy (Total-Et).
The basic event selection requirement for the CDF
analyses of events with large Total-Et is
Total-Et > Total_Et_min
where the threshold Total_Et_min is analysis dependent.
1992/3 Event Selection (20 pb^-1)
Total_Et_min = 320 GeV or 420 GeV depending on the analysis.
Total Energy < 2000 GeV.
Rejects beam halo and cosmic-ray interactions.
Note that the center-of-mass collision energy is 1800 GeV.
Primary vertex within 60 cm of the detector center.
Rejects poorly measured events.
Missing-Et significance S < 6, where S is defined as the missing-Et divided
by the sqrt of the Total-Et.
Rejects beam halo and cosmic-ray interactions.
No significant energy deposition in the central hadron calorimeters that is
measured to be out-of-time with the beam-beam collision time.
Rejects beam halo and cosmic-ray interactions.
1988/9 Event Selection (4 pb^-1)
Total_Et_min = 400 GeV.
Total Energy < 2000 GeV.
Rejects beam halo and cosmic-ray interactions.
Note that the center-of-mass collision energy is 1800 GeV.
Missing-Et significance S < 6, where S is defined as the missing-Et divided
by the sqrt of the Total-Et.
Rejects beam halo and cosmic-ray interactions.
No significant energy deposition in the central hadron calorimeters that is
measured to be out-of-time with the beam-beam collision time.
Rejects beam halo and cosmic-ray interactions.
Only one well reconstructed primary vertex.
Rejects multiple interactions.
