Title: Hgg analysis at ATLAS


1
H?gg analysis at ATLAS
M. Escalier, B. Laforge
LPNHE Paris CNRS/IN2P3-Universités Paris 67
  • Status of TDR analysis
  • Signal background generation
  • Kinematic variables
  • Likelihood analysis
  • Conclusion and outlooks

Special thanks to Arthur for let me use his
laptop for some update
Thanks L. Fayard, G. Unal (discussion, feedback)
2
Status of TDR
  • Leading Order CTEQ 2L
  • no K factor
  • Pythia 5.700
  • ISR, FSR
  • Atlfast 2.0

from full reconstruction
3
Signal/?B
S/vB6.5, signal background computed at LO
4
Signal H?gg
VBF
  • direct production

gg fusion
  • associated production

Using correction of HDecay for decay H?gg

Background
  • Irreductible background

NLO calculation using Diphox 1.2, pdfCTEQ6M
  • reductible background (LO Pythia), pdfCTEQ6L1

g jet, 1 jet misidentified
jet jet, 2 jets misidentified

Higgs mass resolution
With Pythia/ATLFAST
s1.34 GeV
Next slides use of s of full simu TDR for window
1.4 s
Mgg (GeV)

Diphox definitions
Thanks J. Ph. Guillet for help with Diphox
9
Analysis Requirements
  • CTEQ 6L1 pdf (LO fit), CTEQ 6M pdf for diphox
    (NLO)
  • Pythia 6.210, Atlfast 2.53, Diphox 1.2
  • Cuts
  • photon candidates pT1gt40 GeV, pT2gt25 GeV
  • hlt2.4
  • transition crack of h1.45, Dh0.15 considered
  • Photon efficiency 80 (Cf. M. Wielers)
  • Jet rejection factor 2900 (Cf. M. Wielers)
  • photon Isolation cone R0.4 ETlt15 GeV

In discussion (F. Derue 1200-1600) cf. Athens

Branching ratio depends on b mass and on QCD
corrections

Branching ratio Pythia running aQED for pythia
(I mean by default) HDecay QCD corrections more
relevant No corrections aQED (better because
real photons q20)
  • gg fusion compatible with papers
  • R.Harlander and W.Kilgore   Phys Rev Lett
    88,201801,2002
  • C.Anastasiou and K.Melnikov Nucl Phys
    B646,220,2002
  • K factor 1.7-2.5 depending on higgs mass
  • Ravindran, Smith, Van Neerven
  • KNLO1.76
  • VBFcompatible with talk of C. Oleari

Total production cross-section What is the NLO
Prediction ? HiGlu package (M. Spira et. al) gg
fusion K1.8 (using CTEQ6) VBF K1.04 (using
CTEQ6)

Problem of resummation C. Balazs has done
resummation, use/compare his soft. later

Conclusion
  • Background
  • Irreductible background
  • Use of NLO irreductible background
  • Need resummation
  • (but box is LO in Diphox)
  • ?use Dixon calculations (L. Fayard, G. Unal)
  • Does NNLO computation is possible ?
  • reductible background
  • Know better the rejection factor (g jet)
  • Then look for NLO computation of g jet, jet jet

17
  • Signal
  • gg fusion and VBF comp. at NLO (but Kf(Pt)?need
    MC at NLO)
  • gg fusion Ravindran, Smith, Van Neerven
  • KNLO is not smal (1.76), KNNLO1.16 (use of KNNLO
    in the future)
  • NNLO of VBF ?
  • likelihood analysisgain not so much important
  • use neural network ?
  • Understand background of gg jet jet with 2
    tagged jets
  • ?jet veto in central region
