1 A few slides to summarise what Alessandro and I were up to for March 24th video meeting Taking for granted that W+/- are good measurements to make- are they really good standard candles? PDF uncertainty is larger than you might have heard – comes from low-x gluon dominantly Maybe we can even use early LHC data to improve it But studies have only been done at ATLFAST level, need trigger efficiencies as a function of rapidity and Pt to go further

2 Look at the lepton rapidity spectra and asymmetry at generator level -TOP and after passing through ATLFAST –BOTTOM Generation with HERWIG+k-factors using CTEQ6.1M ZEUS_S MRST2001 PDFs with full uncertainties

3 Study the effect of including the W Rapidity distributions in global PDF Fits by how much can we reduce the PDF errors? Generate data with CTEQ6.1 PDF, pass through ATLFAST detector simulation and then include this pseudo-data in the global ZEUS PDF fit. Central value of prediction shifts and uncertainty is reduced BEFORE including W dataAFTER including W data W + to lepton rapidity spectrum data generated with CTEQ6.1 PDF compared to predictions from ZEUS PDF W + to lepton rapidity spectrum data generated with CTEQ6.1 PDF compared to predictions from ZEUS PDF AFTER these data are included in the fit ~1day of data-taking at low Lumi Specifically the low-x gluon shape parameter λ, xg(x) = x –λ, was λ = -.187 ±.046 for the ZEUS PDF before including this pseudo-data. It becomes λ = -.155 ±.030 after including the pseudo-data

4 Event Selection Criteria for W +- -> l +- l Cross section for pp→W+X with W→lν, l=e,μ is ~30 nb (10 time larger than Tevatron) 300M evts/y at low Lumi. Atlas TDR  Electrons and Muons: Pt > 25 GeV |η| < 2.4  Missing Et > 25 GeV  To reject QCD bkg: No reconstructed jets in the event with Pt > 30 GeV Recoil on transverse plane should satisfy |u|< 20 GeV Cuts acceptance ~25% Assuming Lepton reconstruction efficiency ~ 90% & identification efficiency ~ 80% Total Selection Efficiency ~20% 60 M W’s/y al low Lumi. (10 fb -1 )

5 W+ -> e+ |  | <1 : 0.94 +- 0.03 W+ -> e+ |  | >1 : 0.84 +- 0.02 W- -> e- |  | <1 : 0.97 +- 0.03 W- -> e- |  | >1 : 0.85 +- 0.02 Signal Selection Efficiency (DET-AfterCuts / GEN-AfterCuts) Rome Production W +- -> e +- Sample - Full Simulation Detector and Generator levels Comparison (after selection cuts application) Generator Level Detector level (Full Simulation) Generator Level Detector level (Full Simulation) Generator Level Detector level (Full Simulation) Positron Pseudo-Rapidity Electron Pseudo-Rapidity Transverse W Mass

6 Detector Acceptance and Efficiency Rome W->e+ sample

7 W Rapidity distributions are good observables to constrain PDF’s at LHC LHC can significantly constrain the gluon distribution We are not limited by statistic but by systematic uncertainties –To discriminate between conventional PDF sets we need to achieve an accuracy ~3% on rapidity distributions. Substantial agreement between AtlFast and Full simulation analyses. We are planning to fully reproduce our AtlFast analysis with the Full Simulation Explore various sources of systematic uncertainties: detector misalignments, detector efficiency, backgrounds etc. Outlook
