Papadopoulos Alessandro Cafarella INP, NCSR Δημόκριτος Athens
3 Particle Physics Today Matter made of three generations of fermions 1 lepton, 1 neutrino and 2 quarks for each generation The interactions are mediated by four vector bosons W, Z, photon γ, gluon g Everything is massive besides the photon and gluon The mass differences are still shocking mν < 1 ev, me = 0.5 MeV, mz = GeV, mt = GeV All of this fits into an elegant theory based on the symmetry group SU 3 C SU 2 L U 1 Y Not so many parameters, s, m W, m Z, mh, m t, mq, m l,m, UCKM, UPMNS
4 Yet Something is Lacking! The symmetry actually forbids masses The elegant solution is given by the Higgs mechanism The Mexican hat or champagne bottle Particles get their masses through the interaction with the Higgs boson condenstate in the vacum This theory predicts the existance of a new scalar particle that we could not discover till now
5 Hunting for the Higgs consistency of perturbation theory not allowed vacuum stability allowed not allowed T. Hambye, K. Riesselmann Phys. Rev. D55 (1997) 7255 LEP Electroweak Working Group March 2008 Higgs Boson Mass Bounds The LHC can discover Higgs Boson in the whole allowed range 114 GeV < mh < 600 GeV

23 Real Event Simulated production of a Higgs event in ATLAS
24 Monte Carlo Generators Physics program of two main LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS: - Discovery of Higgs boson - Search for signal of new physics beyond the SM Signal events dug out from a bulk of background events Due to SM processes Mostly QCD processes, accompanied by additional electroweak bosons Final state - high number of jets or identified particles Reliable predictions for multi-particle final states needed! All this can be described by Monte Carlo generators - General purpose tools are PYTHIA, HERWIG and SHERPA - If you want matrix elements with more states you need LO MC - For example AlpGen, HELAC, MadEvent, Whizard,... Benchmarking against real data turns MC simulation into powerful tool!
25 Traditional Method Number of Feynman diagrams contributing to g g n g at tree level n 2 FD , , ,405 10,525, ,449,225 n g at tree level Number of Feynman diagrams contributing to q q n FD , , , ,016, ,603,720 Number of sub-processes contributing to pp e e nj (4 & 5 flavours) n 0 1 SP
26 Biggest Obstacles Complexity of calculation based on Feynman diagrams ~ n! Flavours of partons never detected (b-tagging) For given jet configuration very many contributing sub-processes Neither the colour nor the spin of any parton is observed Amplitude with p quark and q gluons 2 3 p 2 8 q contributions Amplitude peaks in complicated ways inside the momentum phase space Straightforward integration is impractical Search for efficient mappings - importance sampling Automated calculation of the ME based on recursive equations & MC summation over helicity and colour as well as over flavour

(n-1)-point functions Diagrammatic representation, e.g. QED-like theory Interaction of a spinor field to a gauge boson b P = n n=1 P=P i b P i P=P P 1 2 ig P 2 P 1 P 1, P 2 Sub-amplitude with off-shell boson of momentum P Blobs denote sub-amplitude with the same structure

39 Multi-jet final state How to simulate hard processes with additional hard radiation Matrix element: - Exact at some given order in αs - all interferences are included - High energetic and well separated partons - Soft/Collinear regions are not adequately described luck of multiple unresolved gluon emission - Difficult to match to hadronisation models Parton Showers: - Include logarithmically enhanced soft and collinear contributions of parton emissions - Able to connect both hard and fragmentation scales - Not enough high energetic gluons are emitted that have large angle from the shower initiator Clearly two descriptions complement each other!
40 Matching ME to PS Goal LL accuracy in the prediction of final state with varying number of extra jets Problem Double Counting - jet can appear both from hard emission during shower evolution and from inclusion of higher order ME Solution Matching algorithm Recipe Cross section for each multiplicity N are calculating using LO ME for N partons Followed by full shower evolution Removal of double counting via inclusion of Sudakov form factors in the LO ME Vetoing shower evolutions leading to multiparton final state already described ME
41 Matching ME to PS A few algorithms along these lines: CKKW-L, MLM Differ mainly: - Jet definition used for the ME evaluation - Way the ME rejection weights are constructed - Details concerning starting conditions of jet vetoing inside PS Have similar systematics: - Residual dependence on the phase space separation cut Qcut - Variations with the number of ME legs - Dependencies on the internal jet algorithm
