4 Matrix Element Calculation Computation was done for limit E>>m; note, several helicity combinations vanished! M(RL RL) 2 M(RL LR) 2 M(LR RL) 2 M(LR LR) 2 4

5 Differential Cross Section The cross section is obtained by averaging over the initial states and summing over all final states. (E>>m μ p f = p ) i = dσ dω = 1 4 = 1 64 π 2 s p f p i M fi 2 1 ( M(RL RL) 2 + M(LR LR) 2 + M(RL LR) 2 + M(LR RL) 2 ) 256 π 2 s 4πα π 2 s (2(1+cosθ)2 + 2(1-cosθ) 2 ) dσ = α2 dω 4s (1+cos2 θ) Example: e + e - μ + μ, s = 29 GeV pure QED (α 3 ) calculation QED + Z contribution 5 5

6 Total Cross Section Total cross section obtained by intregrating over θ and φ using 1 + cos 2 θ dω = 2π (1 + cos 2 θ) dθ = 16π 3 total cross section for (e + e - μ + μ ): σ = 4πα2 3s Lowest order computation provides good description of data Very impressive result: from first principle computation we have reached a 1% precise result! 6

7 Helicity and Chirality = σ 0 0 σ = σ 1 σ 1 σ 2 σ 2 helicity operator: h = Σp [H,h] = 0 Helicity is a conserved quantity! σ 3 Helicity is not a LI quantity! σ 3 (p is not a LI) chirality operator: γ 5 = i γ 0 γ 1 γ 2 γ 3 = 0 I I 0 in Dirac representation [H,γ 5 ] 0 Chirality is not a conserved quantity! Chirality is however LI! only for E>>m : γ 5 ~ Σp LH chirality eigenstates LH helicity eigenstates RH chirality eigenstates RH helicity eigenstates For massive particles (not ultra relativisitc): helicity states are combination of chirality states! 7

In CMS: p 1 = (E,0,0,E) p 2 = (E,0,0,-E) p 3 = (E,E sinθ, 0, E cosθ) p 4 = (E, -E sinθ, 0, -E cosθ) (p i ±p j ) 2 = m i 2 + m j 2 ± 2p i p j ~ ±2p i p j E>>m p 3 μ e θ e + p 1 p 4 μ + π-θ x z p 2 p 1 p 2 = 2E 2 ~ ½ (p 1 +p 2 ) 2 = 1 2 s p 1 p 3 = E 2 (1+cosθ) ~ -½ (p 3 -p 1 ) 2 = t p 1 p 4 = E 2 (1-cosθ) ~ -½ (p 4 -p 1 ) 2 = u <M fi > 2 = 2e 4 t 2 +u 2 s 2 12

14 e - μ - Scattering in CMS In CMS: p 1 = (E,0,0,E); p 2 = (E,0,0,-E); p 3 = (E,E sinθ, 0, E cosθ); p 4 = (E, -E sinθ, 0, -E cosθ) p 1 x s = 4E 2 z t = (p 3 -p 1 ) 2 e π-θ p 3 θ e μ p 2 ~ -2p 3 p 1 = -2E 2 (1-cosθ) u = (p 4 -p 1 ) 2 ~ -2p 4 p 1 = -2E 2 (1+cosθ) <M fi > 2 = 2e 4 s2 +u 2 t 2 = 2e cosθ 1 cosθ 2 p 4 μ dσ = 1 p f <M dω 64 π 2 s p fi > 2 i = e4 8π 2 s cosθ 2 1 cosθ 2 = e 4 8π 2 s cosθ 2 4 sin 4 θ/2 sideremark: almost Rutherford, for Rutherford need non-relativisitc computation 14

15 Bhabha-Scattering e + e + e + e + M = M 2 M 1 e e + + e e e + e e + e + M 2 = M interference + M 2 2 same as for e - e + μ - μ + same as for e - e + e - e + dσ dω = e4 8π 2 s t 2 + u 2 s 2 + 2u 2 t + s 2 + u 2 2 t 2 15

16 Overview from Halz from Halzen and Martin 16

17 dσ dω Scatter Processes in e + e - Bhabha scattering: t+s channel e e e e Z e + e e + e - e + e + e + e + t-channel less sensitiv to contributions from Z exchange, even at larger energies. QED computation have precision of 10-4 Exploit forward region for luminosity measurements e + e γγ s-channel only e + e μ + μ- e μ+ e μ + exploited for luminosity measurements e + μ e + Z μ 17

18 Luminosity Determination at e + e - Machines Interaction rate: N IA = σ IA x L Number of observed events: N IA = σ IA x L dt = σ IA L dt σ IA : interaction cross-section L: luminosity, depends on machine parameters [cm 2 /s] L int = L dt [barn -1 ] L = 1 n B f n 1 n 2 4π σ x σ y n 1, n 2 : particles per bunch n B : number of buches f : revolution frequency σ x, σ y : beam size at IA point determination of delivered integrated luminosity from machine parameters not precise enough (± 5-10%) Instead a known reference process with known x-section is used to determine the integrated luminosity L int = N ref σ ref 18

19 Luminosity Determination at e + e - Machines Reference process for e + e - machines: small angle Bhabha scattering, precisely known, very high rate, very little background e + e + e - e - main detector L int = N(e+ e ) θ σ min < θ < θ max ref Luminosity monitors e.g. forward calorimeters Typical ranges for angles: 15 < θ < 35 (other standard candle Z μμ) 19

20 L3 Detector at LEP LEP: Large Electron Positron Collider, CERN, E CM = 90 GeV. SLUM: Silicon luminosity detector LCAL: Luminosity calorimeter collision center 20

21 Bhabha Scattering Event in LEP LCAL 21

22 Experimental Test of QED: Tasso Experiment PETRA: Positron-electron collider (DESY, Hamburg), E CM up to 35 GeV Started data taking in 1976, finished data taking in 1986 Tasso: Two Arm Spectrometer Solenoid [Tasso experiment is famous for discovery of the gluon] 22

23 How to test for possible deviations in e + e - e + e theory prediction (dominated by t-channel) data points Perfect agreement! - how to quantify perfect? Possible deviations from QED: Finite extension of lepton modified photon propagator Description and parametrization of deviation by form factor: F(q 2 ) = 1 ± 1 q 2 1 q 2 ± 1 q 2 Λ ± 2 q 2 q 2 2 Λ ± In this choice of form factor parameterization F(q 2 ) describes an add. massive photon which modify the propagator. Parameter Λ ± would correspond to the photon mass of add. photon. 23

24 How to test for possible deviations in e + e - e + e - dσ dω = e4 8π 2 s t 2 + u 2 s 2 F t 2 + 2u2 t 2 F t F s + s2 + u 2 t 2 F(s) 2 A fit to the Tasso data results in: Λ + > 435 GeV, Λ - > % CL In the space picture form factor correspond to modified Coulomb potential: 1 r 1 r (1 + e Λr ) extended charge For Λ > 500 GeV Point-like electron: < fm/500 = m 24

25 Test of QED in e + e - μ + μ - Total cross section Very good agreement σ(e+e- μ+μ-) = e4 3s (1 ± s s Λ ± 2) Λ ± > 250 GeV R μμ = σ exp σ th muon substructure < m 25

26 Test of QED in e + e - μ + μ - Total cross-section in very good agreement, however angular distribution deviates from QED predictions effect of electroweak interference e μ + e μ + + e + μ e + Z μ backward region forward region A FB = σ F σ B σ F + σ B Due to interference effect of EW contribution already seen at s = 30 GeV! 26

27 Discovery of the Tau Lepton 1975 M. L. Perl, leader of Mark-I experiment at SLAC Nobel prize 1995 SPEAR: Standford-positron-electron-accelerator ring E CM up to 8 GeV Mark-I experiment 27

28 Discovery of the Tau Meson physics process: e + e - τ + τ Signature in experiment: e + e - e ± μ + 2 undetected particles e + v τ ν e μ - v μ ν τ + CC in e+e- collisions we know the initial 4 momenta, thus we can check for missing energy in the final state

29 Mark-I experiment μ e

30 Discovery of the Tau Lepton signature: e + e - e ± μ + 2 undetected particles Background process: e + e - e + e and e + e - μ + μ with one leg in the final state mis/identified as electron/muon respectively; cut on θ copl >20 reduced this background significantly e + e - μ + μ - e + e - Very rare decay, cross check: look for same sign e - μ - and e + μ + combinations hadron mis-id background (h: hadron) e + e - μ + h - X, e + e - h + e - X, e + e - h + h - X 4.7 ± 1.5 background candidates from these sources 24 signal candidates clear signal, not compatible with background fluctuations 30

31 Discovery of the Tau Lepton M m : missing energy M i : invariant mass of (e,μ) No resonance observed, thus at least 2 missing particles in final state threshold behaviour indicates mass of tau particle 2m τ ~ 4 GeV

32 Measurement of Tau Mass Later measurement at BESS (1994):

33 Point like nature of τ Particle As for e+e- μ+μ- 1 st order QED prediction of total cross-section for e + e - τ + τ - in wonderful agreement (differential cross-section suffers from interference with Z exchange diagram) Λ± > 200 GeV another point like (elementary) particle 33

34 Summary Two add. variables (beside all masses and 4 momenta of initial particles) are required to describe scatter process A+B C +D. E.g. use 2 out of 3 (LI) Mandelstam variables Symmetry arguments can be used to relate cross-section of different scatter process (technical: swap of Mandelstam variables in cross-section formular) First order QED correction describe well the total cross section in data (for e + e - e + e -, e + e - μ + μ -, e + e - τ + τ - ) This is mainly related to the strong supression of higher order diagrams α ~1/137 Differential cross-section is affected by interference with Z exchange diagram (can be computed as well) Next time :continue test of QED in e + e - scattering hadronic resonances in e + e - scattering higher order corrections and renormalization (running coupling constants) 34
