WW Signal and Background Through WW leptonic decay channels (𝑊𝑙𝜐, 𝑊𝜏𝜐𝑙𝜐, 𝑙= 𝑒,𝜇), final states would have 2 high-pT isolated leptons (ee, mm and em channels), large missing energy (MET), and less jet activity Main background: W+jets Z+jets Top Diboson One lepton from W decay + One jet faked lepton + MET Less likely to pass lepton identification Larger jet activity Leptons from Z decay + MET from jet mis-measurement or Ztt Has real Z in event, removed by Z-veto Small MET, more jet Leptons from W decays + MET Have large jet activity, apply jet-veto can remove its majority Includes WZ/ZZ/W,Z+g Leptons from W/Z decays or g-fake + MET from decays or 𝑒,𝜇 escape Z-related processes can be suppressed by Z mass veto Others are less likely to have 2 high-pT isolated leptons 2014.4.21 Y. Wu

Event Selection Physics Objects Pre-selection WW Selection Collision vertex should associate with at least 3 tracks Leptons are selected with pT>20GeV,  constraint, identification, isolation, etc. Jets (Anti-Kt, R=0.4) are required to have pT>20GeV, ||<3.0 𝐸 𝑇,𝑅𝑒𝑙 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 is used in analysis, calculated as ∆ 𝜙 𝑙,𝑗 is the minimum separation angle between 𝐸 𝑇 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 and lepton, jet. Pre-selection Select events with good collision vertex (remove cosmic/ beam background) Reject events if have bad measured jets (otherwise MET will be affected) Select leptons as defined above WW Selection Require the event to have exactly two opposite sign leptons Require 𝑀 𝑙 + 𝑙 − >15 GeV and 𝑀 𝑙 + 𝑙 − −𝑀 𝑍 >10 GeV (Z-Veto) (ee, mm) Require 𝐸 𝑇,𝑅𝑒𝑙 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 > 40 GeV (ee, mm) and 𝐸 𝑇,𝑅𝑒𝑙 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 > 20 GeV (em) Require zero jet in the event (Jet-Veto) 2014.4.21 Y.

𝑀 𝑙 + 𝑙 − after di-lepton selection 97% of the di-lepton events in ee, mm channels are Drell-Yan background Those background events can be largely removed by 𝑀 𝑙 + 𝑙 − −𝑀 𝑍 > 10 GeV (Z-Veto) (ee) (mm) 2014.4.21 Y. Wu

𝐸 𝑇,𝑅𝑒𝑙 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 after Z-Veto The remaining Drell-Yan background after the Z- Veto cut can be effectively further removed by cutting on 𝐸 𝑇,𝑅𝑒𝑙 𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑠 (ee,mm) (em) Njets = 0 2014.4.21 Y. Wu

W+W- Detection sensitivity To estimate the statistical significance of the signal detection, Poisson distributed pseudo-experiments are generated with the expected background varying according to its uncertainty. The probability to observe 8 or more events in the absence of a signal (i.e. background only hypothesis) is 1.410-3 corresponding to a significance of 3.0 σ’s. 2014.4.21 Y. Wu
