1 Search for diboson resonances at CMS identifying highly energetic boson decays and discriminating new physics signals from the standard model background Clemens Lange (CERN) DESY Physics Seminar Hamburg/Zeuthen 3 st May/ st June 206

2 About diboson resonances [ heavy resonances? boson jets? background estimation? ( wasn t ) there this diphoton resonance? Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 2

3 We have a problem >how can we explain the big difference between the weak force and gravity? µ 2 = v 2 = g 2 4M 2 W 4 GeV 2 M Pl 38 GeV 2 >no symmetry in the standard model (SM) protects the Higgs mass >µ H 2 always a singlet under phase transformations > natural explanation would be that SM is replaced by another theory at the TeV scale: µ 2 ~ (heavier scale) 2 new particles H t t H >these theories could be: >SUSY: protecting the Higgs mass by a symmetry >Composite Higgs: the Higgs is not elementary > Large/warped extra dimensions: gravity is strong at electroweak scale Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 3

4 Composite Higgs? [ t >the Higgs could be nonfundamental >instead: bound state of a new strong interaction >e.g. size of 8 m ~ Fermi scale (0 GeV)! light Higgs like a pion from a new sector >solves hierarchy problem, and brings along new heavy particles/states >heavy partners of SM particles decay to lighter ones (W, Z, H, top, ) H t H Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 4

5 Large extra dimensions? Eric Williams >another attempt to solve the hierarchy problem >SM fields are confined to fourdimensional membrane, gravity propagates in additional dimensions >effectively, change power law of gravity from /r 2 to /r 2+N, where N = number of extra dimensions >this only applies to particles with r N - smaller things have more possibilities to move > large, because of size mm to ~/TeV >proposed by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, and Dvali (ADD) gravity Planck-brane bulk gravity can propagate through bulk TeV-brane Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 5

6 Warped extra dimensions? Eric Williams >often referred to as Randall- Sundrum (RS) models >warping causes energy scale at one end of the extra dimension to be much larger than at the other end >SM models reside on TeV-brane (in RS models) >bulk graviton models allow SM particles into 5D-bulk >overlap of 5-D profiles at TeV-brane (and Higgs) determine particle masses >additionally, if distance between two branes is not fixed, additional fluctuations can occur gravity Planck-brane RS model bulk gravity can propagate through bulk bulk Bulk model TeV-brane Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 6

7 How do we observe these models at the LHC? >should be able to observe excitations/ resonances/fluctuations q b >composite Higgs: electroweak composite vector resonances H b! mostly spin (W, Z )! decay to pairs of W, Z, H W 0 W >Randall-Sundrum: Kaluza-Klein excitations of gravitons + radion fluctuations >gravitons (spin-2):! RS: decay predominantly to leptons q 0 g l q! bulk: decay to pairs of W, Z! ADD: broader excess from many narrow-spaced resonances W q >radions (spin-0):! only used for signal modelling here X W >focus here on narrow resonances (width < detector resolution), mass 600 GeV g l Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 7

8 What about the diphoton resonance? >neutral resonance could be graviton or radion as in diboson searches >resonance cannot directly couple to photons loop of charged particles (e.g. W, top,?) in decay (and production?) >there must be more than just a di-photon resonance >searches presented in this talk constrain what physics models this potential resonance could be Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 8

9 Reconstructing heavy resonances >bosons will be very energetic collimated decay products >need to develop dedicated reconstruction methods >hadronic decays of bosons:! boson-tagging! exploiting substructure of jets >leptonic decays:! special isolation for dileptonic decays! dedicated reconstruction algorithms for high-pt leptons! new tau-identification algorithms focus here on Run-2 developments and analyses Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 9

10 Hadronic boson identification JHEP 2 (204) 07 >at CMS use anti-kt jet algorithm with R = 0.4 >already for resonances of TeV a significant fraction of cases where the boson decay is contained in a single jet >increase jet size to R = 0.8 to contain full decay within fat jet R = p Reconstruction efficiency Merged jet efficiency single CA R=0.8 jet R (W,jet) < 0.

12 Jet pruning CMS-PAS-HIG4-008 >we know the masses of W, Z and Higgs very well can use them as constraints >however, large number of particles in jet rather bad resolution >jet pruning (generally grooming) removes soft and large angle radiation arbitrary units 0.2 CMS Simulation SM Higgs, m = 600 GeV ungroomed jet mass W+Jets, MadGraph+Pythia6 ungroomed jet mass >strategy: 0.! recluster jet using Cambridge-Aachen (CA) jet algorithm? pruned jet mass Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 2

13 Reminder: jet clustering algorithms JHEP 0804:063,2008 >kt-algorithms: sequential clustering >examine four-vector inputs pairwise and construct jets hierarchically >anti-kt: preferentially merge constituents with high pt with respect to their nearest neighbours first >Cambridge-Aachen: no ptweighting, merge based on spatial separation only undoing clustering yields subjets Clemens Lange - Diboson resonances searches at CMS 3
