1 Search for W' tb in the hadronic final state at ATLAS Ho Ling Li The University of Chicago January 5,
2 Introduction What is W'? A charged, heavy, Standard-Model-like W gauge boson Analysis channels W' lν, l = e, μ W' tb First result on W' in the decay channel of tb qqbb Available on Why this analysis? Why W'? Why W' tb? Why W' tb qqbb? You may also ask: Why hasn't it been done before? 2
3 Why W' and W' tb? Why W'? Consequence of many BSM theories Extra Dimension model, e.g. Kaluza-Klein tower of W A new gauge sector, e.g. Little Higgs theories Left-right symmetry: W' counterpart for SM WL R Why W' tb? Search for W' without assuming the existence and mass of νr R Couple to the 3rd generation Current mass limit: W' lν (3.35 TeV, CMS) > W' tb (2.03 TeV, CMS), but SM couplings assumed Weakly coupled to leptonic channel, or even leptophobic, while strongly coupled to quarks? 3
4 Why W' tb qqbb? leptonic top decay channel leptonic W' tb hadronic top decay channel hadronic W' tb t e/μ + ν ~ 2/9 t qq ~ 2/3 Before August 2014, only W' tb lνbb published Current observed limits at ATLAS ~ 1.8 TeV Adv.: Existence of l significantly lowers background from light quarks and gluons (QCD) Disadv.: Lose sensitivity when m > 1.75 TeV W' 4 7
5 Why W' tb qqbb? leptonic top decay channel leptonic W' tb hadronic top decay channel hadronic W' tb t e/μ + ν ~ 2/9 t qq ~ 2/3 This is the first experimental result on W' tb qqbb Advantages Br(t qqb) ~ 3 x Br(t lνb), l = e or μ Able to reconstruct a sharp W' mass peak Sensitivity maintained for high m W' Disadvantage Enormous background from QCD 5
6 W' tb model Use a model independent effective field theory approach, keep this analysis as generic search Independent of other phenomena in the models, only concern W' g' MC signal sample: SM W to fermion couplings (gsm) as benchmark Both W' and W' generated from TeV in 250 GeV L R increments Set W' mass limit as a function of g'/gsm 6
7 The ATLAS detector z-direction 7
8 Jet reconstruction Signal involves top quarks and b quarks; QCD as main background Top, b, QCD are identified as jets Additional criteria to distinguish top jets and b jets from QCD 8
9 b-tagging: the method to identify b jets B hadron has a very long lifetime (~10-12 s) millimeters 9
10 Hadronic top reconstruction Want to differentiate jets from hadronic top decays from QCD Top jet: high mass (173 GeV) and contains 3 showers (q, q, b) Search for W' with mass greater than 1.5 TeV Top has high P decay products tend to merge T Reconstruct top decay products by large-r (radius para. R=1.0) jets ATLAS standard jets have radius parameter R=0.4 Use jet substructure information to distinguish top jets from light jets low PT top e.g. 100 GeV high PT top e.g. 800 GeV 10
11 Jet substructure variables for top-tagging Splitting scale d12, ratios of n-subjettiness τ21 and τ32 are used to distinguish top jets and light jets Splitting scale d 12 d12 = min(pt(1), PT(2)) x ΔR(1,2) 11
12 Jet substructure variables for top-tagging Ratio of n-subjettiness τ32 and τ21 Ratio related to number of constituents inside the jet τ32 0 top-like τ32 after applying d12 τ32 1 QCD-like τ21 0 QCD-like τ21 1 top-like τ21 after applying d12 and τ32 12
13 W' top-tagger performance Initially named Love-Li top-tagger due to its simplicity and lovely performance Performance compatible with more complex algorithms 2 TeV WL' tb fake rate QCD sample (2012 data) 46% 6% 13
14 Analysis strategy Looking for tagged dijet events b-tagged small-r jet with PT > 350 GeV (always required) R(large-R, small-r) > 2.0 top-tagged large-r jet with PT > 350 GeV (always required) jet jet b 45% b-tagging efficiency if identified, 2 b-tag category; otherwise, 1 b-tag category Electron and muon veto applied Still, leptonic W' tb contributes % of signal yields Search for a bump in mtb spectrum Start the search at W' mass > 1.5 TeV 14
15 Selection efficiency Normalized to 20.3 fb-1 QCD background ttbar background 1 b-tag 2 b-tag TeV W'L signal 2 TeV W'R signal Leptonic W' tb analysis has ~2% efficiency total 1 b-tag category 2 b-tag category 15
16 Statistical strategy Parametrize signal distributions by analytic function Fit background from data with analytic function Unbinned likelihood fit to mtb distribution Determine excess from probability for signal+background hypothesis If no excess, set 95% Confidence Level limits Systematics taken into account as nuisance parameters 2 b-tag category 2 TeV W'L 16
17 Signal parametrization Hadronic signal MC parametrized by Skew Normal + Gaussian Fit parameters can be parametrized into nice functions Interpolate parameters between generated m points W' central value of Skew Normal W'L, 2 b-tag Leptonic W' tb signal MC parametrized by double Gaussian 2.5 TeV W'L 2.5 TeV W'L 3 TeV W'L 3 TeV W'L 17
18 Data-driven method for QCD background estimation not b-tagged b-tagged not top-tagged NA NB top-tagged NC Nsignal If found b-tagged small-r jet inside large-r jet 2 b-tag category extrapolation 1 b-tag channel b? top? b? if yes, 2 b-tag category Extrapolate into signal region: If N /N = N /NC good B A signal Compare extrapolation with Nsignal, example by using QCD MC 18
19 Background parametrization Use data-driven QCD background sample + ttbar from MC to test functional form 2 b-tag category parametrized by ExpPoly2: a0*exp(a1*m+a2*m2) 1 b-tag category parametrized by ExpPoly4 19
20 Background systematics spurious signal Spurious signal: bias from choice of background function Fit background with signal+background hypothesis to extract number of signal events as spurious signal Use data-driven QCD sample + ttbar from MC ExpPoly2, 2 b-tag, W'L choose simplest functions with low spurious signals 20
