  2. Moments Correlations

  3. Vcb: exclusive determination • Measure absolute scale of BD*l • D** states also important for |Vcb| exclusive determination • end-point in q2 for BD*l decays • systematic uncertainty from BD**l background

  4. Channels with neutral B • B0 D**+ l- • D**+ D0+ OK • D**+ D+0 Not reconstructed. Half the rate of D+- • D**+ D*0+ • D*0 D00Not reconstructed. Background toD0+ • D*0 D0 Not reconstructed. Background to D0+ • D**+ D*+0 Not reconstructed. Half the rate of D*+- We will not deal with neutral B

  5. Data Stability A: (152595-154012) Before winter 2003 shutdown B: (158826-165297) After winter 2003 shutdown C: (164303-165297) SVT 4/5

  6. Kinematic Comparisons lD*, D0K

  7. Kinematic Comparisons lD*, D0K0

  8. Kinematic Comparisons: D+

  9. Can we “predict” yields? Two methods (a,b) to derive this BR • Based on inclusive bD(*)+l • Based on exclusive BD(*)+l, D**l +PDG BR + MC efficiency ratios

  10. What background model for what? • WS is often used in this kind of analyses as a model for the background • We can also use our fully reco’d B from other triggers • We choose to use WS for the optimization • Embedding is being used as a cross-check for systematics

  11. What’s available on the market… D**D+ D**D0 • No background subtraction • ~80 events in D*+ • ~80 events in D+ • ~215 events on D0 • uncertainty > sqrt(n) D**D*

  12. Estimator Behaviour

  13. K Optimization

  14. D+ Optimization

  15. Combinatorial Background • WS ** • Already used for the optimization • Physics can be different • Fully reco. B • independent emulation of the background • Limited statistics • Needs some machinery for emulating a semileptonic decay! • Eliminate the B daughters • Replace the B with a semileptonic B with the same 4-momentum: a template montecarlo where the B decay comes from EvtGen and the rest of the event comes from the data!

  16. Background Modeling II • Tight cuts (avoid subtractions) • Exclude B tracks • Replace with MC B • QuickCdfObjects/GenTrig • Re-decay N times • Same analysis path from there on Lxy>500m

  17. Signal Fits

  18. Sample Consistency

  19. Embedded MC vs Semileptonics MC yield scaled to number of data events

  20. Pl* • Theory prediction depends on Pl* cuts. We cannot do much but: • see how our analysis bias looks like • Use a threshold-like correction • Evaluate systematics for different threshold values

  21. MC efficiencies • (M) is dependent on: • D** decay Model • Pl* cut • Use different models/cuts to evaluate systematics

  22. MC Validation • * is an unique probe: • Large statistics • Low background • “Similar” spectrum to ** • Can reconstruct with minimal cuts (e.g. COT only) • Technique: • Search for * with very loose cuts • Do not include in B vertex • Study biases to kinematics from tracking • Study IP resolution(data/MC): Primary, B & D vertices • Study (data/MC) vs selection criteria

  23. MC validation • Cross-check kinematic variables • B spectrum modeling • Trigger emulation • Validate CdfSim model of tracking resolution • Relative efficiencies • ** selection/bias • Compare many data/MC distributions using binned 2 • Every possible decay mode • Sideband subtracted before comparison • Duplicate removal (D0K)

  24. Kinematics • Can we rely on kinematical biases estimated from MC? • Rem: we don’t care about absolute scales • Pt dependent MC/data ratio: MC/Data vs Pt * Pt MC Data 400 MeV

  25. Impact Parameters 148/34 40/33 134/32 26/30 61/30 42/42 151/45 118/43 58/52

  26. Impact Parameters (covr) 40/33 146/34 133/32 550/40 39/29 25/30 124/49 137/43 146/45

  27. (MC), (data) vs selection criteria

  28. Another perspective: MC(after/before) / data(after/before)

  29. MC(after/before) / data(after/before)Plan for the evaluation of systematics

  30. Ds Background • Use  peak in D+ candidates to set the scale • Measure the relative contribution of Ds decays to D+ fakes using MC • Extrapolate to the total size of the contribution: 4% • Build a suitable D** background model • Subtract

  31. Cross-feeds

  32. Cross-feeds (details, sat.)

  33. Cross-feeds (details, K)

  34. Cross-feeds (details K)

  35. D** Moments • Combine all events of all types in all channels (D*,D+,SRS,SBRS,feed-down, etc.) • Compute mean (m1) and variance (m2) of M2 distribution with weighted events. • Errors and correlation computed with MC (for toy MC)or bootstrap (for data). • For some realizations, one finds a negative value for m2 = Var(M2) =<M4> - <M2>2.

  36. Inputs for the D0 and D*0 Contributions • For the BR’s, results from charged and neutral B decays are combined using isospin: partial widths are assumed equal. • BR’s, ratio of lifetimes and ratio of production fractions are taken from PDG. • Toy Monte Carlo is used to propagate the uncertainties from m1, m2, the BR’s, etc., to uncertainties on M1and M2 and their correlation.
