1 Search for New Light Bosons in Models with Hidden Sectors at CMS Yuriy Pakhotin, Jim Pivarski, Alexei Safonov, Aysen Tatarinov LPC Topic of the Week November 16th, 2011

2 Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Motivation: Satellite Experiments 2 Nature 458 (2009) 607-609 arXiv:1109.0521v1

3 Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Motivation: NMSSM 3 Both motivations suggest a new light boson weakly coupling to charged SM particles Not observed in direct production  weak coupling leads to small cross section, need very high luminosity Heavy particles made at hadron colliders might decay to the new light boson, that eventually decays to SM particles

4 D0 Collaboration, Search for dark photons from supersymmetric hidden valleys Phys.Rev.Lett.103 (2009) 081802, arXiv:0905.1478 D0 Collaboration, Search for events with leptonic jets and missing transverse energy in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV Phys.Rev.Lett.105 (2010) 211802, arXiv:1008.3356 CDF Collaboration, Search for Anomalous Production of Events with a W or Z Boson and Additional Leptons in 5.1 fb-1 of Data public note 10526 ATLAS Collaboration, A Search for Lepton-Jets with Muons in pp Collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV in the ATLAS Detector conference report ATLAS-CONF-2011-076 CMS Collaboration, Search for Light Resonances Decaying into Pairs of Muons as a Signal of New Physics JHEP 07 (2011) 098, arXiv:1106.2375 Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Experimental Searches at Colliders 4

5 Search for groups of collimated leptons cascades of low-mass particles expected to be collimated due to high-momentum boost use only muons for now, but neither require nor exclude other particles search for m1 or m2 resonance peaks  resolve combinatorics within each group by finding the most consistent combination of dimuon masses Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Signature: Lepton Jets 5

6 Desires: Sensitivity to many kinds of new physics  Standalone light boson or whole shower Results interpretable in other models Implementation: Identify muon candidates Cluster nearby muons into “muon jets” Categorize events by topology  number of muon jets  number of muons in jets Do not use:  Isolation (there could be electrons, pions, taus nearby) Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Analysis Strategy 6

7 Challenge: muons in Lepton Jets are crossing each other StandAloneMuons, and hence GlobalMuons, are inefficient when crossing Solution: TrackerMuon is used pT > 5 GeV/c, |η| < 2:4, arbitrated seg. >= 2, tracker hits >=8, χ2/Ndof < 4 Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Muon Reconstruction 7

8 Efficiency to reconstruct dimuon using TrackerMuons analysis cuts applied Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Tracker Muons 8

9 Only single-muon non-isolated barrel trigger doesn’t depend on whether muons cross in the muon system Accepting endcap-triggered events would introduce a strong efficiency dependence on dimuon kinematics; therefore, we require at least one muon above trigger threshold pT > 15 GeV in barrel |η| < 0.9 minimal unprescaled muon trigger in 2010 Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Trigger 9

10 Start from highest pT muon Add a new muon (  i+1 ) to the jet if the jet contains another muon (  i ) and if: Opposite charge Common vertex Invariant mass(  i,  i+1 )< 9 GeV Ignore single muons Advantages: Efficient independent of boost Insensitive to pile-up Mass cut can be dialed for optimal distribution of backgrounds among categories Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Clustering Muons into Jets 10

11 Data: 35 pb -1 of 2010 LHC data Inclusive single muon trigger p T >15 GeV Offline: Require at least 1 muon with p T >15 GeV, |  |<0.9 Identify all other muons with p T >5 GeV, |  |<2.4 Reconstruct muon jets and categorize Target the case with new bosons produced on-shell: Consider all pairings of muons and pick one with most consistent mass Plot pair masses Signal will be on the diagonal Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Selections 11

13 Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Dimuon Backgrounds 13

14 Fairly elaborate and fully data driven procedure was developed Use templates to build multidimensional distributions predicting background shapes  Non-diagonal side-band data is used to fit for normalization Background shape templates must be individually constructed due to contribution of different physics sources Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Background Modeling 14

15 Topology R 1 2 “One muon jet with two muons” Apply p T > 80 GeV cut on “single dimuon” to reduce background Derive shape from high-statistics low-pT data, test in medium-pT, and use in high-pT signal search Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Single Dimuon 15

17 Topology R 1 4 “Four Nearby Muons” Dominant SM backgrounds: decays-in-flight and mis- reconstruction (fakes) Simulate fake muons by putting non- muon tracks into mu-jets:  Background enriched: 2 muons, 2 tracks  Control: 3 muons, 1 track  Signal: 4 muons Plots of control region with template shape overlaid Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Four Muons 17

18 Considering the case of m2 -> m1m1 -> 4µ with m1 off- shell but m2 on-shell, template for the four-muon mass was prepared important case for search for h dark   dark  dark the second bump is due to events with two muons from a J/ψ boosting the distribution for these events to higher mass Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Four Muons: Mass Shape 18 Background enriched: 2 muons, 2 tracks Control: 3 muons, 1 track

19 Muon system: Dominant factor for p T (  )<150 GeV,  ~92-95%  Losses due to non-instrumented gaps and muon overlaps in the muon system (endcap) Tracking: Important for high momentum dimuons  Losses when tracks have large overlap of hits in the tracker  m(  )~0.4-0.6:  ~85/75% at p T (  )=250/350 GeV  Elsewhere  ~95/85% at p T (  )=250/350 GeV High multiplicity muon jet efficiency factorizes into efficiencies of finding dimuons in it Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Signal Efficiencies 19

20 Single dimuon+X: narrow bump would indicate signal The two-dimuon+X (right): zero diagonal events Background normalization assumes that new resonances are produced on-shell Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Data in Signal Regions -1 20 No data events in any of the higher multiplicity topologies

21 Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Two Dimuons Event 21 The two dimuons are not close enough in mass to be decays of the same on-shell m1 boson (and therefore belong to the off-diagonal control) mass = 2.7 GeV mass = 1.5 GeV

22 Quadmuon +X: zero diagonal events Background normalization assumes that new resonances are produced on-shell  If produced off-shell, signal can be off-diagonal  4  mass (search for h dark   dark  dark ) Yuriy Pakhotin (Texas A&M)LPC Topic of the Week, November 16th, 2011 Data in Signal Regions -2 22 No data events in any of the higher multiplicity topologies
