11 Bremsstrahlung I Electrons emit a large amount of bremsstrahlung that results in degraded momentum and mass resolutions Two types of bremsstrahlung» Downstream of the magnet - photon energy in the same calorimeter cell as the electron - momentum correctly measured» Upstream of the magnet - photon energy in different calorimeter cells than electron - momentum evaluated after bremsstrahlung Upstream brem Air Downstream brem 11
12 Bremsstrahlung II A recovery procedure is in place to improve the momentum reconstruction Events are categorised depending on the number of recovered photon clusters Incomplete recovery due to part-reco central-q 4 low-q y(s) 13 J/y m(k π µ µ ) [MeV/c] 1 q [GeV/ c4] q [GeV/ c4]» Energy threshold of the bremsstrahlung photon (ET > 75 MeV)» Calorimeter acceptance» Presence of energy deposits mistaken as bremsstrahlung photons y(s) 14 1 part-reco J/y 1 8 brem tail 6 central-q 4 low-q m(k π ee) [MeV/c] Incomplete recovery causes the reconstructed B mass to shift towards lower values and events to migrate in and out of the q bins Simone Bifani CERN Seminar 1
13 Trigger Trigger system split in hardware (L) and software (HLT) stages Due to higher occupancy of the calorimeters compared to the muon stations, hardware thresholds on the electron E T are higher than on the muon p T (L Muon, p T >1.5,1.8 GeV) To partially mitigate this effect, 3 exclusive trigger categories are defined» L Electron: electron hardware trigger fired by clusters associated to at least one of the two electrons (E T >.5 GeV)» L Hadron: hadron hardware trigger fired by clusters associated to at least one of the K * decay products (E T > 3.5 GeV)» L TIS: any hardware trigger fired by particles in the event not associated to the signal candidate 13
14 Strategy R K*º determined as double ratio to reduce systematic effects Selection as similar as possible between µµ and ee» Pre-selection requirements on trigger and quality of the candidates» Cuts to remove the peaking backgrounds» Particle identification to further reduce the background» Multivariate classifier to reject the combinatorial background» Kinematic requirements to reduce the partially-reconstructed backgrounds» Multiple candidates randomly rejected (1-%) Efficiencies» Determined using simulation, but tuned using data 14
15 Corrections to Simulation Four-step procedure largely based on tag-and-probe technique 1. Particle identification» PID response of each particle species tuned using dedicated calibration samples. Generator» Event multiplicity and B kinematics matched to data using B K * J/y(µµ) decay 3. Trigger» Hardware and software trigger responses tuned using B K * J/y(ll) decays 4. Data/MC differences» Residual discrepancies in variables entering the MVA reduced using B K * J/y(ll) decays After tuning, very good data/mc agreement in all key observables 15

23 Cross-Checks I Control of the absolute scale of the efficiencies via the ratio which is expected to be unity and measured to be Result observed to be reasonably flat as a function of the decay kinematics and event multiplicity Extremely stringent test, which does not benefit from the cancellation of the experimental systematics provided by the double ratio 3
24 Cross-Checks II BR(B K * µµ) in good agreement with [arxiv: ] If corrections to simulations are not accounted for, the ratio of the efficiencies changes by less than 5% Further checks performed by measuring the following ratios which are found to be compatible with the expectations 4

29 R K*º determined as a double ratio Systematics I» Many experimental systematic effects cancel» Statistically dominated (~15%) Total systematic uncertainty of 4-6% and 6-8% in the low- and central-q 9
30 Systematics II Corrections to simulation: besides the uncertainty due to the size of the samples, an additional systematic is determined using different parameterisations of the corrections Kinematic selection: a systematic uncertainty for Data/MC differences in the description of the bremsstrahlung tail and the MVA classifier is determined by comparing simulation and background subtracted B K * J/y(ll) data Residual background: both data and simulation are used to assess a systematic uncertainty for residual background contamination due to B K * J/y(ee) events with a K e or p e swap 3
31 Systematics III Mass fit: a systematic uncertainty is determined by running pseudo-experiments with different descriptions of the signal and background fit models Bin migration: the effect of the model dependence and description of the q resolution in simulation are assigned as a systematic uncertainty r J/y flatness: the ratio is studied as a function of several properties of the event and decay products, and the observed residual deviations from unity are used to assign a systematic uncertainty 31

34 Summary and Outlook Using the full Run 1 data set the R K*º ratio has been measured by LHCb with the best precision to date in two q bins The compatibility of the result with respect to the SM prediction(s) is of.-.5 standard deviations in each q bin The result is particularly interesting given a similar behaviour in R K Rare decays will largely benefit from the increase of energy (cross-section) and collected data (~5 fb -1 expected in LHCb) in Run LHCb has a wide programme of LU tests based on similar ratios Future measurements will be able to clarify whether the tantalising hints we are observing are a glimpse of NP 34
