1. 1 W/Z Planning - 2010 Monte Carlo samples 7 TeV – W, Z, top, QCD, EW (tau+DY).. [ Ping and Wayne State ] Trigger – L1 and HLT. Good runs. Lumi segments. HLT -> PD set. [ Tata, Fan ] Data processing and samples – PD, SD and W/Z EW skim, [Efe – 2009 data ] First data samples – skim muon candidates – QCD isolation study,…. Follow T&P for psi and upsilon. [Ping and Fan, PKU on psi polariz ] We are interested in data processing/reducing in this context. There probably is a similar effort within the EW group. We must coordinate with them. I suppose TTU can do that. Our ultimate focus is Z asymmetry. Muon reco – using Z T&P tools for eff, charge mis-id etc. [ Pooja ] MET reco – evaluate different algos in data (jets ?). MET in Z events? Remove 1 muon ? [ Tata ]

2. 2 W/Z planning - II QCD bkgnd [ Pooja ] First data look at – some soft muons from b pairs and decays in flight. Isolation variables – which to choose Tools – template and ABCD, crosscheck Systematics EWK bkgnd [ Rochester ] Monte Carlo for tau and DY – several MC to evaluate systematics Data driven? In DY shrink |y| coverage and extrapolate – systematics. Check on U. Minn use of HF in ee

3. 3 W/Z Planning - III PDF [ Lenny, Tata] Establish 2 or more PDF, CTEQ, MRS … Establish the “errors” on a given PDF set – e.g. the 40 CTEQ sets. Check the tools supplied by the EW group – e.g. PDF systematics. (Renata) Monte Carlo [ Ping, Tata, Roch ] For W and Z aysm we need to use MC to compare to the data RESBOS + FEWZ ? – NLO, NNLO Draft papers – doing this exercise will indicate all the steps that need to be covered. Start with CDF/D0 as templates. [ Lenny – W, Arie – Z asym]

4. 4 W/Z Planning - IV Make sure to speak at EW mu meetings Submit the draft papers to EW mu group Write up the AFB note in full detail [ Rochester + Renata] Closure for 2-> 2 no ISR or FSR ( done – Dec. 2009 ) Cuts to limit ISR (jet veto) and FSR ( Z Pt and gamma veto) Unfolding for FSR and mass resolution Final residual Monte Carlo correction – sets systematic errors, driven by PDF.

5. 5 W/Z Planning - V Do W asym and AFB all together – sets base of SM rediscovery expertise. Then branch out into W CI [FNAL – Fan, Ting. Lenny], DY CI [FNAL, Wayne State] and Z’ in AFB [Roch, CBPF, FNAL] Groups should sign onto both common tasks and specific tasks Rutgers [ e W asym, 1 PD ?] FNAL [ 3 FNAL PD + 2 Guest PD - W, Z asym] Rochester [ 2 PD ] TATA [ 1 GS ] Wayne State [ 1 PD, 1 GS ] Purdue ? Is there a follow on after psi/upsilon ? Texas Tech [ 1 PD + 1 GS + with time additional manpower] Beijing ? PKU? [ 1 Guest GS ]
