Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 1 1 Searches for in the dilepton (and diphoton) final states with the ATLAS detector Dr Tracey Berry Royal Holloway University of London And Prospects for the LHC

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 2 Overview Introduction: Beyond the Standard Model Fundamental Symmetries: Heavy Gauge Bosons Z’ (ee,  ) Extra Dimensions (ee,  ) Contact Interactions (ee,  ) ATLAS & LHC Searches for new physics Summary and Outlook

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 3 3 The Standard Model Motivation for searching for something beyond the SM…. Gravity is not included! The SM : particles + forces

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 4 4 Forces in Nature M EW (10 3 GeV) << M Planck (10 19 GeV)? Gravity is very weak! → Hierarchy Problem Table from Cigdem Issever, Oxford

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 5 5 Extra Dimensions: Motivations  if compact space (R  ) is large M Pl 2 ~ R  M Pl(4+  ) (2+  ) Effective M Pl ~ 1TeV if warp factor kR c ~11-12 Planck TeV brane Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali, Phys Lett B429 (98) Randall, Sundrum, Phys Rev Lett 83 (99) M EW (1 TeV) << M Planck (10 19 GeV)? Many (  ) large compactified EDs In which G can propagate 1 highly curved ED Gravity localised in the ED In the late 90’s Large Extra Dimensions (LED) were proposed as a solution to the hierarchy problem Some of these models can be/have been experimentally tested at high energy colliders Since then, new Extra Dimensional models have been developed and been used to solved other problems: Dark Matter, Dark Energy, SUSY Breaking, etc   = M pl e -kR c    ~ TeV

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 6 6 The “extra” dimensions could be hidden to us:  E.g. To a tightrope walker, the tightrope is one-dimensional: he/she can only move forward or backward If ED exist, why haven’t we observed them? But an ant can go around the tightrope as well … The “extra” dimensions may be too small to be detectable at energies less than ~ GeV (E.g. they are small that only extremely energetic particles could fit into them (so we need high energies to probe them)) –But to an ant, the rope has an extra dimension: the ant can travel around the rope as well

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 7 7 Or only some kinds of matter are able to move in the extra dimensions, and we are confined to our world. The “extra” dimensions may be too small to be detectable at energies less than ~ 1019 GeV like something that was forced to reside on the surface of a tabletop, being unaware of any such thing as up or down. G Our Brane/ World Extra Dimensions

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 8 8 KK towers/particles When particles go into the extra dimensions…. M n = √(M 0 2 +n 2 /R 2 )) Like QM particles in a box Spacing & (summation of ) KK towers determines the search signature: narrow resonance (RS) or broad increase in cross-section (ADD)

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 9 Questions remaining with the Standard Model  Fundamental symmetries:  Are there more symmetries beyond SU(3) C  SU(2) L  U(1) Y ?  GUTs with larger symmetry group? Left-right symmetry?  How can we address the hierarchy problem? / Include Gravity into the SM?  Are there warped extra dimensions? (RS model)  Are there large extra dimensions? (ADD model)  Quark and lepton generations:  Why are there 3 generations?  Fermions composite?  Is there a lepto(n)-quark symmetry?  More than 3 generations of quarks & leptons?  Reasons to search for new physics…

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 10 Introduction  Standard Model describes data very well, but is only a low energy effective theory  Physics Processes at LHC:  Total cross-section  SM Processes: W->ev  New Physics: hard lepton/photon (Z’->ee, etc) New Physics is needed at the weak scale ~ 1 TeV

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 11 Questions remaining with the Standard Model  Fundamental symmetries: New Gauge Bosons?  Extra Dimensions?  Contact Interactions ?  Search for evidence of beyond the SM physics in dilepton + diphoton data...… schooljotter.comthegreatfiles.blogspot.com empireonline.com

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 13 Introduction  Standard Model describes data very well, but is only a low energy effective theory  New Physics is needed at the weak scale ~ 1 TeV  Physics Processes at LHC:  Total cross-section  SM Processes: W->ev  New Physics: hard lepton/photon (Z’->ee, etc)  Need large luminosity and efficient background rejection to see interesting signal events: & effective lepton/photon identification

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 19 Signal and Backgrounds Select events with two leptons of same flavor (ee,  ) Search for excess above Standard Model expectations in high invariant mass region ● Main backgrounds: — SM Z (irreducible, primary background) — QCD (electron channel only) — Top quark pair production — SM W+jets (electron channel only) — Dibosons (WW, WZ, ZZ) ● Negligible backgrounds for muon channel: — QCD, SM W+jets — Cosmic rays

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 20 Selection Electron channel ● Trigger requiring single Medium electron with ET > 20 GeV ● 2 electrons with: — pT > 25 GeV — |  | < 2.47, exclude crack region 1.37 < |  | < 1.52 — Medium Electron ID — Hit in first pixel layer (“Blayer”) Muon channel ● Trigger requiring single Muon with p T > 22 GeV ● Primary vertex with |z| < 200 mm ● 2 muons with: — p T > 25 GeV — |  | < 2.4 — Hits in all 3 muon stations — Hit in nonbending plane — Veto on overlapping hits in barrel and endcaps — |d 0 | < 0.2 mm, |z 0 | < 1 mm — Isolation: within a cone of  R < 0.3 — Opposite charge Σp T trk <0.05 p T

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 21 Muons Muon tracks are reconstructed independently in both the inner detector and muon spectrometer, and their momenta are determined from a combined fit to these two measurements. To optimize the momentum resolution, each muon candidate is required to pass quality cuts in the inner detector and to have at least three hits in each of the inner, middle, and outer layers of the muon system. Muons with hits in both the barrel and the endcap regions are discarded because of residual misalignment between these two parts of the muon spectrometer. The effects of misalignments and intrinsic position resolution are included in the simulation. The pT resolution at 1 TeV ranges from 15% to 44% (for |η| > 2).

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 22 Electron QCD Background  Estimated in data using two techniques, extrapolated to high mass search region  Inverted identification method reverses Medium ID cuts, uses template fit in invariant mass  Isolation fit method requires standard Medium ID, reverses other ID cuts, uses template fit in calorimeter isolation

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 23 Z' Electron Kinematics Good agreement with background expectations The bin width is chosen to be constant in sqrt(E_T).

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 24 Calorimeter Isolation Calorimeter isolation spectra for the leading electron after event selection, but before the isolation cut is applied on the leading electron. The points represent ATLAS data and the filled histograms show the Monte Carlo stacked backgrounds. The isolation is the sum of the calorimeter energy in a cone delta(R) < 0.2, corrected for leakage and pileup effects. The QCD is estimated from data, using the reverse identification method, and is less isolated than the Drell-Yan.

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 25 Z' Muon Kinematics Good agreement with background expectations The small excess in the tails of the distributions may be explained by the imperfect modelling of highly energetic jets in PYTHIA, since the agreement is much better with ALPGEN which generates more high energy jets which can boost the dilepton system in the Z+jets events. Of the ten highest p_T muons, only four belong to a dimuon pair with mass greater than 300 GeV.

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 26 Pseudorapidity The dips in the pseudorapidity distribution are caused by the requirement that hits are measured in all three layers of the muon chambers. Most chambers in the middle station near |eta|=1.2 have not been installed yet, which causes the two gaps. The central dip is due to the passage of inner detectors' (tracker and calorimeter) services. |eta|=1.45 transition region between the barrel and endcap calorimeters

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) data: PLB700: , data 200 pb-1 update: ATL-CONF

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 30 Z’ Theoretical Motivations  New heavy gauge bosons are predicted in several extensions of the Standard Model  Benchmark model for these searches is the Sequential Standard Model (SSM)  Z’ has the same couplings as SM Z  Z’ width assumed comparable to detector resolution  Also consider string theory –inspired E6 models

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 32 Data & SM Background

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 33 Highest mass ee event E T 257 GeV,(eta, phi) (-0.76, 1.14). E T 207 GeV (eta, phi) of (2.05, -2.05). M ee = 993 GeV. Only tracks with p_T > 1 GeV are shown.

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 34 Highest Mass  event P T of 510 GeV, (\eta, phi) = (0.37, 3.01). P T of 437 GeV, (eta, phi) =(0.72, -0.12). M mm =959 GeV.. Only tracks with P_T > 0.5 GeV are shown

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 35 Signal? The significance of a signal is summarized by a p-value, the probability of observing an excess at least as signal like as the one observed in data, in the absence of signal. The outcome of the search is ranked using a likelihood ratio, which is scanned as a function of Z′ cross section and mZ′ over the full considered mass range. The data are consistent with the SM hypothesis, with p-values of 54% for e+e− and 24% for the μ+μ− channels.

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 36 Limits Setting and Errors  Normalize MC to data in Z peak region (70 < mℓℓ < 110 GeV)  Luminosity and other mass independent systematics cancel  Uncertainties treated as correlated across all bins

Recent measurements from the LHC experiments, based on 40 pb −1 of data recorded in 2010, exclude a Z′ SSM with a mass lower than TeV (ATLAS) and TeV (CMS) Indirect constraints from LEP extend these limits to TeV.

Seminar, QMULTracey Berry (RHUL) 40 Other Z’ models  I n the Z′ are the Sequential Standard Model (SSM) the Z’ has the same couplings to fermions as the Z boson  Also when the E6 grand unified symmetry group is broken into SU(5) and two additional U(1) groups leads to new neutral gauge fields ψ and χ.  The particles associated with the additional fields can mix in a linear combination to form the Z′ candidate: Z′(θ E6 ) = Z′ ψ cos θ E6 + Z′ χ sin θ E6, where θ E6 is the mixing angle between the two gauge bosons.  The pattern of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the value of θ E6 determine the Z′ couplings to fermions;  six well motivated choices of θ E6 lead to the specific Z′states named:
