1. Quark Compositeness Search with γ +Jet Final State at the LHC Satyaki Bhattacharya, Sushil S. Chauhan, Brajesh Choudhary, Debajyoti Choudhury Department of Physics & Astrophysics University of Delhi, India India-CMS Meeting @ Delhi 28 th September 2007

2. 2 Outline Motivation for the Study Earlier studies within the same model Signal and Backgrounds Future Plans

3. 3 Motivation Probes coupling of excited quark to its SM counterparts Physics at low luminosity (~100 pb -1 to 1 fb -1 ) Direct search for mass peak Limits can be set on parameter space much above the Tevatron reach Di-jet QCD background is reducible due to clean hard photon (with tight isolation cuts)

10. 10 Photon and Jets Algorithm to “reconstruct” the photon at the generator level (Reference - Marco Pieri et al. CMS IN 2005/018, and CMS IN 2007/039 – our earlier study)  Select a seed with P ,e± T > 5 GeV  Search around the seed in 10x10 crystal geometry in φ and η directions  With Δφ=0.09 and Δη=0.09  Add 4-momentum vectors of found EM objects  Vector additions provides Photon Candidate  For Jet used Iterative Cone Algorithm with R=0.5 and seed P T  1.0 GeV (Inclusive jet i.e. neutrinos and muons are included in the jet definition)

11. 11 Preliminary Distributions (I) Generation cuts: P T -hat ≥ 190 GeV on partons with no cut on η All plots are for L int =10 pb -1 Signal is qg  γ+jet via q*

12. 12 Preliminary Distributions (II) Selection Cuts: P Tγ ≥ 200GeV, P T jet ≥200 GV | η γ | ≤ 2.5, |η jet | ≤ 2.5

13. 13 Preliminary Distribution (III)

14. 14 Preliminary Distribution (IV)

15. 15 Preliminary Distribution (V) Backgrounds and signal separately Invariant Mass distribution without any isolation cuts

16. 16 Preliminary Distribution (VI) Isolation variables: To decide track minimum P T to count them as track (final state, pi ±, e ±, p ± & K ± are considered as tracks )

17. 17 Preliminary Distribution (VII) With Isolation cut: R iso ≤ 0.35, E T SUM < 5GeV Study in progress to understand other isolation variables such as – number of tracks etc. and optimize various isolation cuts

18. 18 Future Plans Complete the generator level study for q* to γ +jet final state with large statistics and set limits on Λ and Mq* for CMS setup (Submit as CMS IN) This study will be presented in the SUSY/BSM meeting on 28 th September at CERN At present interfacing γγ and γ +Jet final states via q* within CMSSW framework as an external routine. Will soon provide.cfg file for both channels to the production team.
