2 LHC measurements: what to expect first job: rediscover the Standard Model calibration, alignment early measurements late measurements start with overview of how a HEP analysis is done not intended to be complete - see e.g. TDR s for a lot more 2
3 interesting reads Experiments physics TDRs CMS: benchmarks, from 2006 ATLAS: PHYSICS/TDR/TDR.html earlier (999), arguably more optimistic Theory paper: v (gianotti &mangano), has info on calibration strategies at high level of abstraction read these for look for model x with lumi y 3

SM bkgnds? studies with toy Monte Carlo choose data sets, trigger apply basic preselection bkgnd estimate MC and data driven test bkgnd estimate control regions modeling of reco, trigger, underlying physics test statistic iterate on selection until control regions are ok shapes are ok S/N is optimal many repetitions here MC data sets >> signal blindness have not yet looked at signal data collaboration approval to open the box discovery or limit significance cannot simply re-run whole analysis with more data; need to repeat process 4
7 Role of Simulation many differential background estimates accomplished via Monte Carlo calculations Steps Generate Simulate Reconstruct Generate: Hard process, hadronization output: four-vector of final state particles ( generator-level ) Simulate: interaction of particles with detector output: hits in the detector (additional radiation) Reconstruct: hits recon objects output: e cands, jet cands, μ cands, ( full reconstruction ) Generators: Pythia, MadGraph, ALPGEN, Herwig, Simulation tools: EGS (γ), GEANT (material), generator-level as best possible; doesn t include extra radiation in the detector though 5
8 data-driven backgrounds certain backgrounds cannot be estimated via simulation statistics/process impossible to replicate (QCD e.g.) depend on tails of tails - don t trust simulations data-driven estimate : extract estimate from data trivial example: bifurcated analysis find two variables, x, y, that are uncorrelated signal region: A; others: signal-free & dominated by bkgnd y B D NA = NC/ND x NB extrapolate into signal region absolute value from data A C x QCD, MET tails, as possible sources (Met vs Iso Run popular) 6

11 standard candles A standard candle is an astronomical object that has a known luminosity. (wikipedia.org) calibration sources where we assume PDG properties test calibrations and simulation viz. these properties drell yan resonances: J/psi, upsilon, Z ee, μμ (ττ?)

22 Early searches self-calibrating searches will be done first require simple triggers: single object triggers do not require an absolute normalization of backgrounds an absolute understanding of energy scale or efficiencies examples: bump hunts ratios (e.g., dijet studies) 20
23 Example bump hunt: CMS μμ 0/pb - Events/50 GeV/0. fb generator full reco CMS PTDR VII, CERN-LHCC µ + µ - mass (GeV) pp Z μμ, mz > TeV small SM backgrounds, invariant mass peak size depends on coupling strength and mass effect of day detector alignment knowledge μ - easy to do; need good μ mass scale beware the statistical implications 2 - easy to create signal

25 interpretation of bumps Look in enough places and you ll see a bump; remember your statistics CDF Run II Preliminary ) 2 Events/( GeV/c ) 2 Events/( GeV/c L = 2.5 fb data 40 - Drell-Yan QCD Other SM M(ee) (GeV/c ) Probability of the Background Fluctuating to! N obs Prob of fluctuation! CDF Run II Preliminary Expected Range for Min. Obs. Prob. N obs " L dt =.3 fb - 3 # evidence level M(ee) (GeV/c 2 ) Di-Electron Mass (GeV/c 2 )
26 example: counting experiment: low-mass susy counting experiment: expect n events (SM), observe m. are n and m compatible? LM : m g 600 GeV m q 550 GeV benchmark channels have large cross sections for low masses (strong production); σ~50pb (LM) hadronic decays have large BR, large acceptance CMS physics TDR, /fb Signal ttbar Z νν +j W/Z+j, dibos.+j single t QCD
27 Example SUSY event jets + MET in CMS, ET=340,40,60, MET =360 24
28 Low-mass susy large cross sections suggest early discovery in small data samples require good understanding of MET triggers data-driven background estimates (Z νν, QCD) modern W, Z + n j MC estimates (Tilman talks) /fb probably not unrealistic but naive estimates (</pb) more challenging sheer size of excess helps scaling of statistical error is n 25
29 searches SUSY, extra-dimensions, LED, many theoretical models to solve same probs phenomenology of models very similar, many free parameters what s an experimentalist to do? SUSY example: long time experimental community stuck with msugra, though theory community doesn t believe it free parameters our answer: model-independent searches 26
30 model-independent/signature searches develop a robust signature that is sensitive to a wide range of new physics models eg large MET, events with photons and MET, like-sign dileptons robust = well-understood SM background don t tune to any particular model no optimization for S/N: depends on S essentially a null-hypothesis test on the standard model strength: open to many possibilities weakness: less sensitive to any particular model favorite party game: would you find top in open search? both will be done at the LHC 27
31 theoretical help most useful help from theory community comes from the background studies too many new physics models already to effectively deal with accurate prediction of higher-order MC s are most useful understanding of PDF s also much appreciated a lot of work has gone on in last years in both cases experimental community is taking advantage of this 28
32 we find something - what then? once we have new physics: what is it? very challenging problem one we hope to have want to measure spectrum of new particles want to measure quantum numbers of new particles charges, masses, spins, coupling strengths much of this is very hard at the LHC compare top charge measurements at Tevatron motivation for ILC/CLIC -2Ln(L) CDF Run II preliminary L=.5 fb f+= fraction of ttbar events with q=2/3 f+ 29
33 summarizing tried to give you a flavor of how detectors work and why they are designed as they are how data is collected and analyzed and what is required to extract 4-vectors what sorts of things are easy to do and what s hard what you might expect from us early in LHC running this is an exciting time for HEP - your timing is exquisite! 30
