Alain Romeyer - January Jet calibration Jet calibration method following CMS-note 1999/066 Association between rec. Jets and generated partons before hadro. (cone < 0.3) 2 types of jets : b jets and other E true jet = sum(E quarks,gluons ) Correction Factor C = E true jets / E rec jets Fit of the correction factor surface in the E vs |  | plane :

Alain Romeyer - January E correction for b jets

Alain Romeyer - January E correction for non b jets Same operation is done with the jet momentum

Alain Romeyer - January Likelihood fit Follow the Z’  µµ strategy (CMS AN 2004/018) Unbinned method No constraints on the absolute background level only on the background shape 3 parameters : m h,  and Fraction of signal Normalised Gaussian Extract from background fit

Alain Romeyer - January Conclusion For the first time the full analysis chain is working higgs peak visible with significance above 5 ~15000 evts (~ 40 days of understood data) Future : Include SM background Improve S/B ratio (cuts, b tagging optimisation…) Reduce the width of the invariant mass Run the code on the Zbb sample for cross check and optimisation of the reconstruction strategy Fast simulation (FAMOS) in order to explore the SUSY parameter phase space Contour plot for the CMS reach
