8 Introduction QCD jets as Branching Process Supersymmetric Particle Branching Summary Jet calculus to Branching Properties Jets High energy quark or gluon (carry color charge), create particles around them, form a spray of collimated(parallel) particles Figure: Jets 8/40

9 Jet calculus to Branching Properties [Konishi,1979] establishajet Calculus algorithm based on tree diagram understanding of partons evolution equation Tree diagram, in the Leading Logarithm approximation (LLA), as branching process Virtuality (Q 2 = p µ p µ m 2 0 ) strongly ordered Figure: Tree Diagram 9/40

10 Branching Equation [Konishi,1979] get two differential equation for single Quark- and Gluon- jets multiplicity distribution generating function G and Q G = A(G 2 G)+B(Q 2 G) Y Q = Ã(QG Q) Y G = n,m=0 xn g x m q p g nm the p g nm is the probability for one gluon branch into n gluons and m quarks, same for Q Three basic branching process g g + g, q q + g and g q + q, with branching probability A, Ã and B respectively Evolution parameter Y act as time parameter 10 / 40

11 Introduction QCD jets as Branching Process Supersymmetric Particle Branching Summary Generating function The multiplicity distribution p n (t) can be collected into one expression, the generating function: P (x, t) =p 0 + p 1 x + p 2 x p n x n + = n=0 p n (t)x n One can get multiplicity distribution from GF by Taylor expansion 11 / 40

12 Approximation for Branching Equation Following [Giovannini,2008] way to calculate branching probability A = C A ϵ, à = C F ϵ A = C A ϵ, à = C F >B= N f ϵ 3 and B = N f 3 The ϵ small,, omit process B : g q + q Only consider process A : g g + g and à : q q + g In A : g g + g and à : q q + g, quark number do not change Only consider gluon number n for multiplicity contribution 12 / 40

13 Stochastic Branching Process Here we introduce two branching process Simple Birth process: For whole system, the probability of producing a new individual is λn t, with current population n Example g g + g with λ = A Poisson process: For whole system, the probability of producing a new individual is ν t, this probability do not depend on current population n Example q q + g with ν = mã (m is the quark number), when only counting the gluon number, the quark can be seen as immigrants for gluon system 13 / 40

14 Quark initiated and Gluon initiated Jets Quark initiated (initial number of quarks m, gluon 0) : Poisson process à : q q + g plus simple birth process A : g g + g Initial condition P Q (x, Y = 0) = p 0 =1 P Q (x, Y ) =A(x 2 x) P Q(x, Y ) + Y x mã(x 1)P Q(x, Y ) [ ] 1 k P Q (x, Y )= (1 e AY )x + e AY ; k = mã A Gluon initiated (initial number of gluon a, quark 0): Simple birth process A : g g + g Initial condition P G (x, Y = 0) = p a x a = x a P G (x, Y ) = A(x 2 x) P G(x, Y ) Y [ x ] x a P G (x, Y )= (1 e AY )x + e AY 14 / 40

15 Generalized Multiplicity Distribution [Chew, 1987] propose a general distribution for initial quark number m and gluon number a, initial condition P GMD (x, Y = 0) = p a x a = x a P GMD (x, Y ) Y = A(x 2 x) P GMD(x, Y ) x The generating function is as follow x a + mã(x 1)P GMD(x, Y ) P GMD (x, Y )= [(1 e AY )x + e AY ] k+a [ 1 x =[ (1 e AY )x + e AY ]k (1 e AY )x + e AY =P Q (x, Y ) P G (x, Y ) ] a The generalized multiplicity distribution(gmd) is the convolution of gluon initiated jets MD and quark initiated jets MD 15 / 40

16 Evolution Parameter Y The evolution parameter act as time parameter Y = 1 2πb ln ln(q2 /Λ 2 ) ln(q 2 0 /Λ2 ) The primary parton with large virtuality Q 2 max (Y = Y max ), branch out particles The virtuality of particles decrease until reach hadronization threshold Q 2 0 (Y =0) Notice Y max Y =0with initial m quarks and a gluons Prove system with initial m quarks and a gluons evolve from Y max Y =0, have same MD as system with same initial condition from Y =0 Y max Notice all initial quarks and gluons have same virtuality t max or Y max (total evolution time) 16 / 40

18 Introduction QCD jets as Branching Process Supersymmetric Particle Branching Summary Supersymmetry New symmetry between fermions and bosons, all ordinary parton has its super-parterners, differ by half spin Spontaneous broken symmetry, mass difference between normal particle and SUSY RparityR P =( 1) 3(B L)+2s conserve, process involve even number of SUSY particles Lightest Supersymmetric Particle(LSP), can not decay 18 / 40

19 SUSY Branching Process Probability Following the same way [Giovannini,2008] of ordinary parton to calculate SUSY branching probability, involving squark q and gluino g Approximation, only choose terms with 1 ϵ : I = C F ϵ : q qg J = C A ϵ : g gg SUSY branching q q + g C F /2 q q + g C F /ϵ q q + g C F g q + q N f /3 g g + g 2C A /3 g g + g C A /ϵ g q + q N f /2 Table: SUSY Branching Probability A ba 0 19 / 40

20 Pure SUSY Initiated Jets Branching Three basic processes I : q qg, J : g gg and A : g gg The SUSY particle branching consist of two phases [Berezinsky,2001]: Phase One: SUSY particle start branching with high virtuality Q 2 max (or Y max ), until their virtuality reach the mass scale of SUSY particle M 2 SUSY (Y = Y SUSY) The SUSY particles on-shell decay into ordinary parton and LSP χ 0 1 q q + χ 0 1 g q + q + χ 0 1 Phase Two: The ordinary partons decayed from SUSY particles continue branching until hadronization threshold (Q 2 0 and Y =0) 20 / 40

21 Modified Stochastic Model for SUSY Branching Two phase simple birth and Poisson process can describe SUSY parton branching, Poisson process parameter ν change Phase One [Y =0,Y 1 = Y max Y SUSY ] Initial squark q number l, gluino g number p (of the same Y max ), gluon number 0, Initial condition P SUSY (x, Y )=p 0 =1 P SUSY Y = A(x 2 x) P SUSY x +(li + pj)(x 1)P SUSY Phase Two [Y 1,Y max ] The phase one equation gives generating function P SUSY (x, Y 1 ) at Y = Y 1, it is the initial condition for phase two The l squarks and p gluinos change to l +2p quarks P SUSY Y = A(x 2 x) P SUSY x +(l +2p)Ã(x 1)P SUSY 21 / 40

22 Generating Function and Multiplicity Distribution for SUSY Jets Solve the two phase equation, we get generating function P SUSY (x, Y )= [(1 eλ(y Y 1) )x + e λ(y Y 1) ] k 1 k 2 [(1 e λy )x + e λy ] k 1 with λ = A, k 1 = distribution li + pj A and k 2 = (l +2p)Ã,andmultiplicity A p SUSY (n, Y )= e λ(y Y 1)(k 1 k 2 ) (1 e λy ) n (e λy ) k 1 (n + k 1 1)! (k 1 1)!n! 2 F 1 (k 2 k 1, n, 1 k 1 n, eλy e λy 1 e λy 1 ) 2F 1 (a, b, c, d) is the hypergeometric function 22 / 40

23 SUSY plus Ordinary Jets More general case, intial partons :SUSY and ordinary partons The I : q qg, J : g gg, Ã : q qg and A : g gg four process happen The q, g and q(initial number l, p and m), undergoes a two phase Poisson plus simple birth process, its generating function P Q GQ (x, Y )= [(1 eλ(y Y 1) )x + e λ(y Y 1) ] k 1 k 2 [(1 e λy )x + e λy ] k 1 li + pj + mã (l +2p + m)ã with different k 1 = and k 2 = A A The gluon (initial number a) branchingdescribedby [ ] x a P G (x, Y )= (1 e AY )x + e AY 23 / 40

24 Generating Function for SUSY plus Ordinary Jets Following the GMD generating function composition: P GMD (x, Y )=P G (x, Y ) P Q (x, Y ) We know the generating function for mix initial partons (SUSY and ordinary partons) P mix (x) =P Q GQ (x, Y ) P G (x, Y ) = [(1 eλ(y Y 1) )x + e λ(y Y 1) ] k 1 k 2 [(1 e λy )x + e λy ] k 1 [ x (1 e AY )x + e AY ] a due to the independence of all individual jets 24 / 40

25 Multiplicity Distribution for SUSY plus Ordinary Jets We can get the SUSY included multiplicity distribution (SIMD) by Taylor expansion of generating function p SIMD (n, Y )=e λ(y Y 1)(k 1 k 2 ) (e λy ) k 1+a (1 e λy ) n a (n + k 1 1)! (k 1 + a 1)!(n a)! 2 F 1 [k 2 k 1, n + a, 1 k 1 n, eλy e λy1 e λy 1 ] Consistency check: 1 When initial quark number m =0gluon number a =0,this distribution reduced to pure SUSY MD 2 When Y = Y 1 or k 1 = k 2 = k, whichmeansnosusyparticle involved, this distribution reduced to GMD 25 / 40

26 Data Fitting Simply the expression for SIMD, with m = e λy 1 l = e λy p SIMD (n, Y )= ( l m )k 1 k 2 (1 1 l )n a ( 1 l )k 1 (n + k 1 1)! (k 1 + a 1)!(n a)! 2 F 1 (k 2 k 1, n + a, 1 k 1 n, l m l 1 ) Constraints: 1 Evolution parameter ordering 0 <Y 1 <Y 2 In SUSY-QCD, C F = C A = N c (N c number of colors), I = J = A = Ã, k li + pj + mã 1 = = l + p + m, A k 2 = l +2p + m, weknowk 1 <k 2 26 / 40

40 Backups Hypergeometric Function Evaluation The biggest difficulty with our fitting is the Hypergeometric Function 2 F 1 (a, b, c, d) evaluation We use CERN-ROOT-MINUIT to do the fitting, the math library in ROOT is GSL library (open source), gives error message when d goes near 1 (its singularity) In mathematica, the hypergeometric function can be calculated fast and no error message near singularity We learn how to call mathematica from C code under ROOT environment, thanks to CERN-ROOT discussion forum! 40 / 40
