Identification of deuteron at BESIII

Abstract

The identification of deuteron with momentum in range of $0.52$-$0.72$ GeV/$c$ has been studied with the specific ionization energy loss information, using the data sample collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between $4.009$ and $4.946$ GeV. Clean deuteron samples are selected using time of flight information. For all data samples, the deuteron identification efficiencies are higher than $95\%$, with a maximum difference of $(4.93\pm 0.95)\%$ between data and MC simulation. These verify the effectiveness of the deuteron identification method based on the specific ionization energy loss, and provide valuable information for the future studies of the processes involving deuteron in the final state at BESIII.
