NMSSM Higgs pp→WH+X in CMSS.LehtiHelsinki Institute of Physics • What’s been done so far
Skype conference in March • Moretti, Hesselbach, Shepherd, Lehti • A preliminary scenario was selected so that events can be simulated and tested • a1→, final state was left open • 10k events simulated with PYTHIA Pythia parameters: ”MSEL = 0”, "IMSS(1) = 1 ! switch on susy", "IMSS(4) = 2 ! higgs parameters are set by hand", "MSUB(172)= 1 ! WH", "MDME(220,1)= 1 ! h->tautau (a1->tautau)", "MDME(352,1)= 1 ! H->hh (h1->a1a1)“, "MDME(206,1)= 1 ! W->enu“, "MDME(207,1)= 1 ! W->munu", "PMAS(25,1)=5.3 ! mass of h0", "PMAS(35,1)=105.0 ! mass of H0", "PMAS(36,1)=133.0 ! mass of A0", "PMAS(37,1)=133.0 ! mass of H+"
Trigger • Associated W used for triggering • Trigger: single electron or single muon • Thresholds 19 GeV (muon) and 26 GeV (electron) • Planning to use also the special non-isolated double-mu trigger (when it becomes available)
Selection • Perhaps the best final state: muon+taujet • clean signal, good backgr rejection expected • BR not too low • less MET than in fully leptonic final state • the new trigger can be used all events 3197 isol lepton 1564 (trigger lepton) 2 (other) muons 42 (eff 2.7% only!) 2 tau jets 5 (muon in taucone)
Mass reconstruction,neutrinos estimated using a1 mass Does this work with backgrounds?
Questions • Benchmark scenario needed • pp→WH+X cross section for the benchmark scenario • backgrounds: • W+jets • QCD • Other potential backgrounds? • Switching from PYTHIA to ..CompHEP? How to simulate the signal?
