Rare Charm Decays Recent Results from FOCUS (+Theory) Will E. Johns (for the FOCUS collaboration) FPCP5 (05/17/02) SM MSSM Exotics

Recent Results from FOCUS Concentrate on Background Effects In the Confidence Limit Calculation Background Fluctuations Treat like a nuisance parameter? Include as a systematic? Include in likelihood: Rolke-Lopez [hep-ph v2]

Probability of finding a signal rate  and a background rate b given x events in a signal region and y events in background sidebands. Where  is the ratio of the number of background events(using MC!) in the sideband regions to the signal region:

And it’s not just my P.O.V. … A reminder during “Journeys of an Accidental Statistician” [Gary Feldman, Fermilab conference on CL, March 2000] from the 1998 PDG [Euro. Phys. J. C3(1998)]: “…we suggest that… a measure of sensitivity should be reported whenever expected background is larger or comparable to the number of observed counts.”

In the Event Selection Too! Optimizing a cut grid in the presence of background can still bias You can easily choose a downward fluctuation in the background and produce (you hope) an over-conservative limit. Approach: BOOTSTRAP (two ways) Best Limits, Optimizing Sensitivity (Dual) Best Limit, Optimizing Cuts w/Sensitivity (as a check on the Dual Bootstrap) (Bootstrap = Sample with replacement)

Dual Bootstrap (NIM article in draft from Rolke-Lopez)

Cut Bootstrap (Developed by Dan Engh for his thesis)

Data from run of FOCUS Over 1,000,000 Reco’d. Charm Excellent: -Vertex Resolution -Particle ID -Momentum Res. -Lots of Pubs… FOCUS Detector References: [NIM A320(1992) 519] [NIM A329(1993) 62] [hep-ex/ ] [hep-ex/ ] [hep-ex/ ]

Look at decays with 2 or more muons Cut Grid, based on vertexing, Particle ID L/  – vary from >5-21 L pp ss ISO1 – CL DK’s in prim (vary <0.1 –0.001) Vary Cerenkov cuts for  ’s and K’s (likelihood differences) DCL – CL of DK vertex (>1 -- 4%) MuCL – CL for Muon ID (>1 – 10%) Cut on  P, (bigger MCS, more h-  at low P)

Normalize Rare modes to Golden/Silver modes Ds+  +-+Ds+  +-+ D+  -+-D+  -+- Goal (loosest cuts)

After 1 st Bootstrap After 2 nd Bootstrap Raw Cut Grid Sensitivities D +   +  +  - Dual Bootstrap Results Preliminary

D +   +  +  - Dual Bootstrap Results Raw Branching Ratios (All Cuts) 2 nd Bootstrap Branching ratios Remember: Cuts chosen by optimizing Sensitivity (Box Closed) in the 1 st Bootstrap Preliminary

D +   +  +  - Dual Bootstrap Results Preliminary Sensitivity vs. Branching Ratio (as promised…)

And in case you’re curious… Rolke-Lopez compare to Unified (Feldman-Cousins) Preliminary D+  ++-D+  ++- (sorry, using mean values here…)

Why Bother? MSSM R-Parity Violating Terms Boost Rates [hep-ph/ v2] (SM calcs are SO low…) -Look for new Physics!- (Burdman, Golowich, Hewett, Pakvasa) (Away from poles!)

Acceptance is important! Monte Carlo relative efficiencies for events generated flat across the dalitz surface 1 2 3

Wrap-Up FOCUS results will set new limits (x10 in some cases) New Limit on R-Parity Violating MSSM Bootstrapping gives you more info when calculating limits More results coming soon from FOCUS Room for x10 stats before SM kicks in
