1 A. Nikitenko,, Imperial College What TeV can do for Higgs at LHC? TeV4LHC Workshop, FNAL, 16 Sept Apologize that I will emphasis on CMS Higgs studies. Capabilities of Higgs searches in ATLAS and CMS are very similar

2 The best would be : discover Higgs before LHC! but...

5 Tevatron data and experience are invaluable for success of Higgs searches at LHC! Physics environment at the LHC is very similar to that at the Tevatron. For LHC Higgs physics it is very important what Tevatron is doing with: Tuning of min-bias and multiple interaction models with TeV data; uncertainties Understanding of reliability and limitations of MC generators; uncertainties Test of theoretical N LO calculations; uncertainties. Experimental methods and techniques for measurement of background from the data measurement of b, τ tagging efficiency from the data measurement of jet -> e, γ, τ, b, c miss id efficiency from the data jets and missing E T measurement; reconstruction, calibration Understanding of the signal and background systematic; theory + experiment I will go through these points giving some examples...

Field Outgoing Parton Final-State Radiation Pile up and underlying events affect : - isolation of γ, τ, e, µ - jet energy reconstruction ( pedestal ) - jet veto - forward jet tagging in VBF Higgs Very important to understand uncertainties if efficiency can not be evaluated directly from the data

12 W/Z rates at LHC Z, W, tt cross sections and expected number of events after trigger in CMS with 10 fb -1 Very important to understand Z+nj, W+nj, tt~ ~ as background for Higgs (and SUSY) searches J.

16 MCatNLO: is it ready for H->WW->2l analysis? pp->ww->µ + µ - at LHC; φ ll Important to include VV spin correlations in MCatNLO V. Drollinger comparison (CMS)

17 MCatNLO: : pp->tt tt~ ~ at LHC Plots from S. Paganis talk on MC at LHC Workshop, CERN 2003 PYTHIA vs HERWIG vs MCatNLO comparison for LHC Some points on top background for h->wwh >WW->analysis >analysis at LHC : - tt~ spin correlations are not yet in MC@NLO; ~ 7% effect in h->ww->2l analysis - both on-shell and off-shell contributions to top production are important after jet veto - σ NWA (tt~) + σ NWA (Wtb) after cuts leads to large double counting N.Kauer and D. Zeppenfeld arxiv:hep-ph/

18 In the next slides I will go through a few selected analyses and a few selected points (biased view) where TeV can help (or already helped!) - inclusive h->2h >2γ - inclusive h->wwh >WW->2l>2l - tth,, h->bbh - MSSM ggh,, H->bbH - MSSM ggh,, H->ττH

19 H->WW->2l >2l analysis at TeV and LHC (I) Tevatron data and MC (PYTHIA) LHC (CMS) Monte Carlo (PYTHIA) M H =160 GeV M. Zanetti; full simulations, preliminary Very similar event selections: - cuts on lepton p T - cut on miss E T, Z resonance veto - jet veto against tt~ - φ(ll) cut is particularly important; exploit spin correlations

20 Observed Expected Tevatron results Number of events after selections ee 2 2.7±0.4 eµ 2 3.1±0.3 µµ 5 5.3± ev Higgs Expected in SM Dominant bkg. in eµ sample WW W+jets WZ tt 2.51± ± ± ±0.01 LHC results (tab. from old M.

WZ+ZZ / WW = 2 %

21 W+Jet background in H->WWH >WW->2l>2l Ratio of W+jets and WW backgrounds in Tevatron analysis is much bigger than in LHC analysis (CMS did not take into account W+jet) It can not be explained by difference in cross sections at TeV and LHC : σ, pb W WW WW / W LHC 1.65 x x 10-4 TeV 1.80 x x 10-4 Calculated by E. Boos, CompHEP (LO); Q 2 = M W2, CTEQ6l1 LHC should check W+jets bkg.. with realistic simulation of jet->e miss id.

22 Discovery reaches with H->WWH >WW->2l>2l Excluded cross section times Branching Ratio at 95% C.L. +/- 5 % bkg.. systematic were taken both in ATLAS and CMS; need more justification; learn systematic from Tevatron analysis

23 Possible way to estimate WbWb background for h->wwh >WW->2l >2l at LHC:

24 H->WW->2l: >2l: from discovery to cross section measurement at LHC For cross section measurement signal systematic becomes as important as background one. Jet veto efficiency at generator level Monte Carlo systematic may be significant due to Jet Veto Effect of UE model was shown already. This plot shows efficiency of Jet Veto as a function of Higgs p T for different generators WITHOUT multiple interactions. Uncertainty is ~ 10 % Giovanna Davaz, CMS

25 H->2γ: how TeV can help? CMS plots. K factors included 15 Events/500 MeV for 100 fb Events/500 MeV for 100 fb N S / N B fb 1 (low luminosity) a) m γγ (GeV) b) m γγ (GeV) fb 1 (high luminosity) m γγ (GeV) Background under mass peak will be obtained from the data, but background predictions at LHC can be evaluated today from comparison and tuning of NLO Monte Carlo with TeV data

26 Mγγ at Tevatron: : data comparison with PYTHIA and DIPHOX In CMS we use K factors obtained from comparison of PYTHIA with DIPHOX after experimental selections for different backgrounds: q γ q γ γ q γ g q g γ pp->γ π 0 pp-> π 0 π 0 g Box: K from Dixon et al. γ

27 Composition of the background for LHC. CMS case: full simulation study by S. Shevchenko, T. Lee, V. Litvin, H. Newman (preliminary). PYTHIA K factors from: T. Binoth et al., Les Houches 2001; hep/ph T. Binoth, K. Lassila-Perini (CMS), Les Houches 2003; hep-ph/ Z. Bern, L. Dixon, C. Schmidt, Phys. Rev. D 66 (2002) pp->jj

28 Background from side bands. But how to compare with analytical NLO?

29 NLO γγ+jet background for h->γγ + jet topology using smooth isolation V.Del Duca et al, hep-ph/ Would be problematic to compare directly with the background data, since at Level 1 and High Level trigger for 2γ stream the different isolation criteria has been already optimized in CMS using PYTHIA as bkg. (and signal) generator

30 Photon Fake Rate from data Rate of jets with leading meson (pi0, eta) which cannot be distinguished from prompt photons: Depends on detector capabilities, e.g. granularity of calorimeter Cuts! Systematic error about 30-80% depending on Et Data higher than Pythia and Herwig Pythia describes data better than Herwig B. Heinemann. UK Forume, April 2004 CDF (preliminary result) At TeV Jet->γ miss ID is obtained from γ+jet data. We should evaluate how does it work with LHC detectors

31 Difficult channel : tth, h->bb NLO tth from M. Spira et al., hep-ph/ K=1 σ ttbb [pb] ttbb (and ttjj) predictions at LO has very big scale uncertainties ~ factor 2. V. Drollinger, Les Houches 2003; ALPGEN Q 2 =m t2, CTQ5L, p T (b)>25 GeV, η < 2.4, R(bb) > 0.4 probability / 10 GeV 0.12 Q 2 = ξ 2 *m 2 t 0.1 ξ = 0.5/1.0/ ξ m(b,b) [GeV] Backgrounds: ttbb shape is not affected by scale change, BUT ttb, ttjj, Ztt from LO CompHEP additional jets (at NLO) can give different ttbb is dominant after selections combinatorics which could change the shape NLO predictions for ttbb and ttj(j) ) is very desirable; NLO ttj(j) ) can be verified by Tevatron data

32 tt~ + njet Production Rates at Tevatron (Elizabeth Graves, DO; talk on CMS Higgs meeting) Alpgen production results Cross-section (pb) t tbar + 0 jets 1 jet 2 jets TeV Expected number of events in W lν channel Tevatron: L=5fb -1 Number of produced events t tbar + 0 jets 1 jet 2 jets TeV Take care : qq->tt dominates at Tevatron, gg->tt dominates at LHC same FSR, but different ISR

33 D0: MSSM bbh,, H->bb H at high tanβ Event Selection: At least 3 jets: E T cuts on jets optimized for different Higgs mass values 3 b-tagged jets Look for signal in the invariant mass spectrum from the two leading b- jets Main Background: QCD multi b-production Difficult for LO MC: determined from data and/or ALPGEN 1.2 Signal acceptance about % depending on Mass From Beate Heinemann talk at UK Forum, April 2004 Ldt=131 pb -1

34 CMS: MSSM bbh,, H->bb H at high tanβ Level 1 multi-jet trigger : 1J or 3J or 4J ; thresholds 177, 86, 70 (95% eff) ) => 3 khz HLT single b tagging for next-to-leading jet E T > 160 GeV => 5 Hz Off-line selections are similar to D0 : two hard jets (E T > 220 GeV for M H =600 GeV) two soft jets E T > 20 GeV PYTHIA simulations >= 3 b tagged jets 2 event count / 25 GeV/c CMS 60 fb 1 µ = M 2 = M SUSY = 1 TeV/c2 X t = 6 MSUSY m = 600 GeV/c 2, tan = 50 A β g g b b A/H, A/H b b S/B = 5.6% (in mass window) β tan CMS 60 fb 1 µ = M = M SUSY = 1 TeV/c X = 6 M SUSY t 2 g g b b A/H, A/H b b 2 5σ 4σ 3σ 2σ σ Statistical significance contours without systematical errors M (GeV/c 2 ) bb m (GeV/c ) A Common question : how to evaluate background shape?

35 learning D0 way From the double b-tagged b data to triple b-tagged b data background The shape of the triple b-tagged was estimated from double b-tagged data and extrapolated using a tag-rate-function derived on the multi-jet data sample. This background was then normalized to the triple b-tagged data outside 1 σ signal mass window from the D0 Higgs results page Can it be applied at LHC? Background composition should be different at LHC - triple b-tagged background with two of three real b jets is dominant (~ 72%) - the main contribution come from gg->gg, gb->gb with g->bb~
