  5. Tevatron W/Z cross-sections Precision measurement of cross-section with statistical errors ~ 0.5-1.7% and systematic errors ~2-3%Acceptance uncertainties dominated by PDF ~1.5% Limiting factor is luminosity ~6% For 8fb-1 statistical error ~ 0.05-0.17% Both luminosity and PDF systematic error are reduced in the ratiostatistical error ~1.3%systematic error ~1.3% NNLO theoretical errors on cross-section at the level of 2%on the ratio error~0.7% as PDF uncertainties cancel PDF error changes with acceptance region CDF cross-sections (pb) for 72pb-1 UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  6. Tag & Probe • Tag and probe methods used to determine reconstruction and trigger efficiencies from data • Improve systematics with increased data Electron identification Muon reconstruction efficiency UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  7. LHC W/Z cross-sections Systematic uncertainty at 1fb-1 dominated by theoretical uncertainties in acceptance: ISR~2.0%, 0.4% KT, UE 0.2%, PDF 0.9% Likely to improve with measurements at LHC – difficult to quantify Uncertainty on efficiencies improve 2-0.4% from 50b-1 to 1fb-1 as efficiencies are based on data eg tag and probe Luminosity ~5-10% at start-up Dedicated experiments eg ALFA will reduce lumi error Remember CDF? statistical errors ~ 0.5-1.7% and systematic errors ~2-3% • Early running • W-channels • Higher statistics • Systematic dominated by background at 50pb-1 • Z-channels • Lower statistics • systematic dominated by efficiency (2-leptons) • background suppressed (2-leptons) UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  8. W/Z cross-section • Tevatron precision measurements dominated by systematics ~2-3% and luminosity ~6% • LHC statistical error at 1fb-1 ~ Tevatron at 8fb-1 • Systematics comparable to Tevatron due to theoretical uncertainty on acceptance • This may improve but difficult to quantify • Tag & Probe allows for robust efficiency estimates with data, scales with luminosity • LHC luminosity ~2-3% using dedicated forward physics expts • Systematics limited by luminosity and the effect of PDF uncertainty on the acceptance • What do measure from W/Z cross-sections: PDFs, luminosity…?

  10. Top mass Precision top mass measurement is required for EW fits to predict MH and then confirm consistency of Standard Model • For equal contribution to MH uncertainty: DMt< 2 GeV  DMW < 15 MeV Can get dMH/MH~30% Important cross-check with direct measurements UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

Colour reconnection • Colour reconnection is part of the soft part of the underlying event • Implemented in new PYTHIA MPI model (6.3 onwards) • Not in conventional tevatron UE tunes • Will be critical to tune from dataeg <Nch> vs pt • Will disappear from Tevatron mass measurements? UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  13. Top mass from cross-section • What top mass is measured? • Input to EW fits is the pole mass • Fits from templates and matrix elements are related to MC variables • Not well defined mass, same for all generators? • Can define mass as a function of cross-section in well defined renormalisation scheme,  well defined measurement of pole mass • Current measurements give dmt~4% cf 1% UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  16. Top mass via J/Y Method measures direction and momentum of b-quark from Y Reconstruct M(Y+l) Uses well measured leptons and avoids JES systematics Limited in statistics Relies on simulation to determine Mt M(Y+l) UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  17. High-pt top PT>200GeV ~2% for stt ~15k events/10fb-1 • Reconstruct collimated hadronic decay top in large cone directly from calorimeter cells ( • Calibrate the mass using W->jj • Sensitive to the underlying event • Can be removed by looking at UE in data • Avoids effects of jet reconstruction but still subject to calibration errors UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

Need to define direction At the Tevatron -- well defined qq pdfs  low z-boost Match q+l+ q qbar • At LHC no asymmetry wrt beam • Assume that there is a • Q-qbar collision  large Z-boost • quark direction from y(ll) • Requires measurement at high y(ll) Q qbar UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  38. Why measure Afb • Precision measurement of Afb can give precison measurement of sintheta – which contains higher order terms – , together with a precison measurement of mt, this provides a constraint on the Higgs mass UK HEP Forum: From the Tevatron to the LHC, Cosners House, May 2009

  42. Effect of underlying event in jet reconstruction Z+jets Events Fragmentation reduces the amount of energy in jet cone UE adds energy to the hadron level jet • Underlying event and fragmentation have the opposite effect • Precise behaviour depends on the jet algorithm used • Frag. corrections for Cone DR=0.7 jets smaller than for Cone DR=0.4 jets, UE corrections larger due to the larger cone size • KT D=0.4 shows the lowest combined corrections (Frag. and UE effects cancel out). • KT D=0.6 jets is comparable to Cone DR=0.4 jets. • (Except for Cone DR=0.7 jets), non-perturbative effects are negligible for jets with pT>40 GeV (PYTHIA).
