Critical Issues 16-May-06

Background Extraction in (cand) Signal Region From “theory”: PDF error 4-5% Renorm/Factor. Scales error 3-5% Efficiency error ?% Luminosity error (5-10% ?) How about the Zbb (low mass 20-50% error but only a fraction of ZZ)? From Normalization Lumi/Efficiency errors reduced Ratio less sensitive to scale/PDF uncertainties How about the Zbb (low mass)? From Sidebands Limited statistics at low masses Difficult below 130GeV due to kinematic turnover But, error well defined using a profile likelihood (i.e. use MINOS errors of multiple fits with different background parameterization assumptions). Abdulin et al, hep-ph/0604120 (pg 113) Jan Conrad et al 16-May-06

ZZ background Pt lepton > 5 GeV. No Z mass cuts. Notice the turn-over at 120GeV. Notice the turn-on of ZZ at 180GeV. 16-May-06

Sideband fitting: 30fb-1 background only Assume a test for Higgs(130GeV). We ran 1M experiments. 3sigma test finds: 1712 events passing out of 1350 expected from fluctuations 16-May-06

Sidebands: 30fb-1 130GeV Signal+Bgnd <B>=5, <S>=12 events Fit may exclude/include “signal region” (here the fit excludes the sr) For every experiment we know the true Signal and Background, so we can check how well a fitting method does in extracting the signal significance (coverage study). 16-May-06

Sidebands: S+B relaxing Z mass cuts <B>=15, <S>=12 events 16-May-06

Accuracy of Background prediction Background extraction using an unbinned extended likelihood fit <B> unbiased 5 Background events in signal region: RMS of prediction: 2 events 15 Background events in signal region: RMS of prediction: 3.5 events 3sigma test finds: 1712/1M events passing out of 1350 expected from fluctuations: This undercoverage can be corrected analytically (in the large statistics limit): K.Cranmer, S.Paganis ATL-COM-PHYS-2005 16-May-06

Softest lepton Pt and electron efficiency 12.0.x Generated softest lepton pt H120 H150 H180 IsEM only Most of the soft electrons (and so the light Higgs events) are lost due to non optimized isolation cuts below 15GeV. Reminder (at NLO): H(120GeV): xsection*BR*Acceptance ~ 2events/fb-1. Similar problem in SUSY analyses. We will address the problem in coordination with the egamma group. Also 9GeV electron CTB data are available to study shower shapes. Extraction of efficiency at low pt using data is also an issue. 16-May-06

Fraction of energy outside a 3 strip core data vs MC 11.4.0 for Very Preliminary CTB04 Electrons Fraction of energy outside a 3 strip core data vs MC 11.4.0 for 6 energies. Cut important for e-ID and g/p0 separation. Maybe due to the physics list used in 11.4.0, or/and due to cross-talk. Notice larger departure at higher energies. 16-May-06

CTB04: very low energy electrons Good agreement between data and various MC versions/setups 16-May-06

CTB04: Linearity (TDR weights + offset) Default configuration (0mm Al) 75mm Aluminium in front of cryostat Data MC Linearity at the 0.2% level: very close to CTB beam-line systematic limit. Absolute Scale? For 180GeV the syst. error is about 0.25% (beam line). The TDR method is biasing at low Energies: the bias increases with the material (also seen in ATLAS, see L.Carminati’s talk). 16-May-06

Comparison between CTB04 and TB02 SP: August 2006 physics/0608012 Analyses agree in sampling and c-term. CTB04 Analysis with TDR weights + offset (Energy independent). TB02 Analysis with new E-dependent calibration hit – like parametrization. 16-May-06

Summary Significant efforts in muon/electron performance issues in progress (focus on electrons here). CTB04 and commissioning data Lepton efficiencies – Calibration – Linearity – Uniformity - Material effects – Misaligned detectors – HV problems – Xtalk – etc etc Measurement of the Mzz background Even with a few tens of events of statistics, an unbinned extended likelihood fit could do reasonably well. However the systematic due to the background shape must be investigated. CSC note in progress Its success will require a well coordinated effort by the (many!) authors. 16-May-06

Weights from minimization Energies in the samplings are reconstructed with approximate sampling fraction at the cell level Weights are extracted by a chi2 fit on a sample of single electrons in the [-2;+3] around the MPV (most prob. value) of the reconstructed energy distribution: It’s a more refined version of the TDR/DC1 calibration: the introduction of the offset cures most of the low energy linearity problems (TB2002) Only 4 energy independent parameters per cell!
