10/4/201417RECFA | Student's presentation | Adi Ashkenazi Trigger Level Analysis QCD distribution is expected to be smooth. Several NP models could lead to a localized excess. -The high dijets mass resonance search is well covered. - The low dijets mass resonance search is limited due to finite trigger bandwidth, which imposes high prescales for high rate processes.
