Neutrinos can’t be detected by the ATLAS detector, but we can still piece them back together 3
Reconstruction Equations With MET, MET Phi, lepton information and what we know about the W boson, reconstruct the undetected Neutrino. Currently analyzing six different methods to handle the case where the neutrino solution(s) is/are complex. Compare how their reconstructions compare with truth 4
Reconstruction Methods 5
6 Neutrino Pt Distribution Resolution RecoMeanStd Dev scaleMET TMinuit
7 Neutrino Energy Distribution Resolution RecoMeanStd Dev scaleMET TMinuit
TMinuit and scaleMET are the best reconstruction methods Neither clearly superior with respect to distance from truth Choose TMinuit since it is a faster method 8 Conclusions
Cut Optimization 9
10 8 TeV Cuts
“N-1” approach, perform all cuts except for the one being plotted Analyze significance curve 11 Linear Method
Optimize several different cuts at once. Iterates through different levels of signal efficiency and measures significance. 12 TMVA Method
