9. SUSY06, UC Irvine, June 2006Filip Moortgat, ETH Zurich 3 association methods: assign object to the axis for which 1. the scalar product is maximal (|A| = 1) = pure angular test: 2. the hemisphere masses are minimal: 3.the minimal Lund distance: Hemisphere association Axis i Axis j Jet k => 3 seeding methods: 1. 1 st axis: highest momentum object 2 nd axis: object with largest P x ΔR (wrt A1) 2. pair of objects with maximal invariant mass recalculate the axes as sum of objects; iterate till no object changes group

15. SUSY06, UC Irvine, June 2006Filip Moortgat, ETH Zurich Systematics Main systematic: Jet energy scale + MET scale (recomputed from corrected Jets): for 1 fb -1 (10 fb -1 ), JES uncertainty goes linear from 15%(10%) at 20 GeV to 5%(3%) at 50 GeV; flat 5 %(3%) above 50 GeV; leads to the following systematic uncertainties: 15 % (7 %) on SUSY event selection ; 17 % (10 %) on t  t background rejection ; Effect on fitted parameters estimated to be : ± 7.5 (5) GeV/c² on m h (and ± 0.04 (0.01) on  ). Tracker misalignment : applying the “short term” misalignment scenario (misalignment of about 100 µm on strips, 20 µm on pixels) => no effect on the position of the invariant mass distribution ; => observed a small drop in number of selected signal events due to the reduced b-tagging efficiency

20. SUSY06, UC Irvine, June 2006Filip Moortgat, ETH Zurich Kinematic fit (2C) The purpose of this analysis is not to measure the top mass  top mass is used with W mass as the 2 constraints to find the best jet combination. => To reject non-SUSY backgrounds (W+X) => To reject SUSY combinatorial backgrounds Only energy of Jets is smeared in the detector ( checked that directional errors have a small effect.) Last 2 terms: take into account the width of the particles. (Breit-Wigner approximated by Gaussian.) m W and m Top computed from jets. The third jet is a b-jet.

33. SUSY06, UC Irvine, June 2006Filip Moortgat, ETH Zurich Laser pointers, batteries & naturalness How to put batteries in a laser pointer? (in a “natural” way) simplified toy model : remember batteries have a + and a - side (for weak electro potential) open your pen (turn upper part) & look inside you see one electrical contact in the middle no contact on the other side in the middle => need to take one contact from the side batteries are + on top AND at the side !!!! so - side needs to touch the inner electrical contact  there is only one solution (= ok with naturalness) i.e. + sign up.
