Outline Tevatron Higgs search status Dzero detector Higgs→ at Dzero Photon identification Preliminary results Outlook
Tevatron √s = 1.96TeV 36x36,396ns bunch crossing Record lumi:
Luminosity projection R. Dixon Feb 2008, P5
Getting close …
Status of Higgs searches Dec 14,2007 , channels added Apr 21,2008 arXiv:0804.3423 arXiv:0712.2383
The Dzero detector 2T, R=0.7m L=2.7m Silicon microstrip (SMT) , central fiber tracker(CFT) Sampling calorimeter, preshower(CPS), finer granularity at 3rd layer of EM, muon system
Fermiophobic higgs in Higgs that have zero coupling to fermions, and all decay to boson pairs. Fermiophobic higgs in Fermiophobic scenario arXiv:0803.1514v1[hep-ex] RunIIa data Higgs decay in SM
Photon identification ET > 25 GeV 97% energy in ECAL Isolated in ECAL No track Use of CPS “EM-pointing” for selecting the right vertex “hit-on-road” to reduce electrons HOR efficiency for photons Needs to be commissioned for Run2B. Work in progress. Very preliminary
Artificial Neural Network(ANN) ANN: Combines a few variables for discrimination power . Select input variables that are insensitive to the e/ difference – ANN trained with photons can be cross-checked with electrons
Input variables
The output
Background contributions PRL95,022003(2005) CDF II, 200/pb PYTHIA/RESBOS/DIPHOX: similar shapes at high M QCD PYTHIA simulation, DIPHOX (NLO for normalization, 20% uncertainty). j,jj from data (next slides) e+e- PYTHIA, NNLO cross section for normalization
Background estimation (inclusive)
Background subtraction () Use ONN>0.85 for the classification
Preliminary result out of 2.3/fb Conference note (public) available at http://www-d0.fnal.gov/Run2Physics/WWW/results/prelim/HIGGS/H48/ Preliminary result out of 2.3/fb Dominant uncertainties: DIPHOX cross section :20%, j,jj estimation: 26%.
Current limits for Contribute to the Tevatron combination. Very first look, large room for improvements.
Plan: instead of conclusion Determine from data at side bands Reduce uncertainties in photon ANN ID Commission photon ID techniques ,e.g., CPS for high luminosity. Make an impact at low mass! An important discovery opportunity! 谢谢大家!
