1. FTK Production on UC Tier3 and Hidden Valley Processes Jan 23, 2007 Erik Brubaker FTK meeting

2. January 23, 2007FTK Meeting2 FTK production jobs So far in ~1 month, produced ~12M events. –Using entire tier3 cluster, I can do 1M ev/day if all goes well. Pausing now to recompile, restart production with patch from Monica/Francesco for more precision in output. Need to remove digi files to save space. –Using 19TB of disk for those 12M events… For 100M events (full training sample?) may need to speed up the job. –Turn off unneeded detectors in sim, digi.

3. January 23, 2007FTK Meeting3 Hidden Valley models Matt Strassler (U Washington) explores “Hidden Valley” model space—regions having light particles, but so far inaccessible experimentally for some reason. One class of HV models has light scalar Higgs decaying into new long-lived (3 ps-3 ns) particles. (hep-ph/0605193) –If those new particles decay to jets, the event signature is 2 pairs of jets, each pair sharing a displaced vertex.

6. January 23, 2007FTK Meeting6 Signal rates Production cross section is gg->H, depends on m H H->SS is 0.1%--1% for high mass, 1%--100% for low mass Higgs Analyze with our full machinery to get LVL1 trigger efficiency for 4j@40GeV (ATLAS default) and 4j@25GeV (with FTK) LVL2 efficiency depends on S lifetime, but e.g. a single tag requirement should be highly efficient Assume 10^33—low LHC luminosity…

8. January 23, 2007FTK Meeting8 Next steps Come up with some simple analysis cuts to present final numbers. –Real analysis would develop sophisticated tools to find shared displaced vertex, etc. Perform multi-threshold study a la Kohei. Background rates shared with H->hh->4b.
