: (1-jet + mode) Before cut After cut Threshold region becomes comparatively more important by the cuts.
We find Cut efficiency below threshold Average cut eff. above threshold ~ factor 7 • Main enhancements in • Jet veto constitute single jet • cut low mass • Lepton cutsspin 0 resonance Below threshold Cross section below threshold ~ 1%Total cross section Hence, (cross section)(cut efficiency) below threshold is estimated to be about 7% of that of above threshold region. • Prediction of MC@NLO above threshold: Any Problem? • Slightly underestimates cross section. • Does not produce color-singlet . • At most 7% underestimate. Combining, at most +14% correction to the prediction by MC@NLO.
: (2-jets + mode) jet1 Number of events after cuts is about 4-5 times larger by MC@NLO than by LO (MadEvent+PYTHIA). jet2 TeV, • Main reasons for enhancements: • Production cross section of is larger at NLO than LO, especially close to threshold. • 2-jets (FB) tagging efficiency increases by hard ISR. • Efficiency of jet inv. mass cut () increases by hard ISR.
Similarly to fusion case, we estimate bound-state effects, using Toponium@LHC. Correction to the prediction by MC@NLO is estimated to be at most +5%. MC@NLO prediction is a good approx. Below threshold In our estimate, Asai et al. prediction of bkg is close to LO prediction. • Asai etal. • Produces upto 2-jets by matching: Cross section compared to LO. • Unpolarized decay: Lepton cuts efficiency compared to LO. • No Coulomb enhancement: Cross section compared to MC@NLO. • Use of PYTHIA: Jet cuts efficiencies compared to MC@NLO. Threshold (bound-state) physics We conjecture that bkgincreases significantly from Asaietal’s estimate. As a result, Higgs discovery potential via VBF may be degraded considerably.
