  16. Tev, MH=160 Missing Energy Met vs Pte 60 GeV Met Met 180o from e Quark can be along Met

  17. Tev, MH=160 Lepton Correlations:e-ne Df (e,ne) e,neanticorrelated in f

  18. Tev, MH=160 Lepton Correlations: e-m e,m correlated in y,phi and have high pt DR

  19. Tev, MH=160 Masses Mt for e m n Large Invariant Mass between leptons High Invariant Mass between quarks

  20. Tev, MH=160 Electron-Jet Separation

  21. Mh=130 GeV/c2, Tevatron

  22. Tev, MH=130 Pt, Rapidity of Leptons, Jets Pt Quark can be low Less Triggerable Electron In CDF Quark Forward, like 160

  23. Tev, MH=130 Rapidity of two quarks Max h of 2 quarks Min h of 2 quarks Dh of 2 quarks

  24. Tev, MH=130 Missing Energy Less Missing Et, slightly lower pt leptons Met , q less correlated Met , e less correlated

  25. Tev, MH=130 Lepton Correlations:e-ne Df (e,ne) e,ne less anticorrelated in f

  26. Tev, MH=130 Lepton Correlations e,m not as correlated DR

  29. Mh=200 GeV/c2, Tevatron

  30. Tev, MH=200 Pt, Rapidity of Leptons, Jets Pt Quark can be low More Triggerable Quark still Forward, not much change Electron In CDF

  31. Tev, MH=200 Rapidity of two quarks Max h of 2 quarks Min h of 2 quarks Not Much Change Dh of 2 quarks

  32. Tev, MH=200 Missing Energy Higher Missing Et, Higher pt leptons Met , e stronger corr. Met , q same

  33. Tev, MH=200 Lepton Correlations e,m much less correlated

  34. Tev, MH=200 Lepton Correlations:e-ne Df (e,ne) e,ne more anticorrelated, in f but not at 180o

  35. Larger Invariant Mass between leptons Tev, MH=200 Masses Mt for e m n Larger Invariant Mass between quarks

  36. Tev, MH=200 Electron-Jet Separation Same l-j separation

  37. Mh=160 GeV/c2, LHC

  38. LHC, MH=160 Pt, Rapidity of Leptons, Jets Pt Quark can be low Reasonably Triggerable Electron In CDF: wider distn At LHC Quark more Forward

  39. LHC, MH=160 Rapidity of two quarks Max h of 2 Quarks wider Min h – wider Dh of 2 Quarks wider

  40. LHC, MH=160 Missing Energy A bit larger at LHC

  41. LHC, MH=160 Lepton Correlations:e-ne Df (e,ne) e,ne anticorrelated less sharply in f

  42. LHC, MH=160 Lepton Correlations e,m better correlated

  43. LHC, MH=160 Masses Mt for e m n Larger Invariant Mass between leptons Higher Invariant Mass between quarks

  44. LHC, MH=160 Electron-Jet Separation Same l-j separation

  45. Conclusions • Cross sections and widths disagree at 20% level • NLO variation with scale can be large • Yield of VBF about 10% of gg->WW can enhance after cuts • MET, Et and rapidity coverage for CDF electrons fine, muons may need tricks using e m signal correlation • Large missing Energy, Lepton correlations due to spin, Invariant mass of tagging jets good handles.

  46. Conclusions (cont) • Best at 160, suffers some e-mu decorrelation and lower pt for lower masses, emu decorrelation but higher pt at higher mass. • Detection in this mode relies on spin of Higgs: if you find it, how much have you also measured that it is spin 0?

  47. Next Steps • Check Cross section for VBF properly • Check correlations in MET, e, m, jet for help in mass reco/ efficiency • Study backgrounds for same distributions • Develop estimators: avoid hard cuts in order to conserve events • Move on to real simluations • Study W to jet possibility, Higgs to t
