Prospects for VV scattering: latest news S.Bolognesi (Johns Hopkins University) on behalf of CMS and ATLAS Implications of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics – CERN, March 2012
VV scattering: unitarity violation VV -> VV V V V V V W,Z mass (-> longitudinal degrees of freedom) arise from the Higgs mechanism: without Higgs, W+LW-L->W+LW-L would break unitarity S channel T channel QGC Same behavior for all VV amplitudes VV scattering is the smoking gun of the EWSB !

VV scattering as probe for EWSB • VV scattering spectrum s(VV->VV) vs M(VV) is the fundamental probe to test nature of Higgs boson or to find alternative EWSB mechanism SM No-Higgs LSB>1TeV LSB<1TeV Unitarity violation SB sector strongly coupled SB sector weakly coupled other scenarios possible: eg, strongly interacting light Higgs Personal adaptation from “Boson Boson scattering analysis”by A.Ballestrero (INFN Torino) talk at First LHC to Terascale Workshop (Sept 2011): Implication of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics S.Bolognesi (JHU) 3

First look at tag jets FWD jet • Starting to face issues related with tag jets topology and jet vetoing -> very relevant for VV scattering: no color flow -> jet veto FWD jet • control of VV background in jet-multiplicity bins -> theoretical systematics (no control regions for ZZ, WW at high mass) • Z prodution in VBF: a candle for jet tagging and jet veto efficiency? -> (after feasibility) real data analysis ongoing • MC tools to describe FWD jets and gap events -> related with description of UE, MPI and QCD at wide angle -> many useful measurements can be done NOW to constraint FWD jets modeling -> TO BE REVIEWED THIS YEAR WITH MUCH HIGHER PU Implication of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics 19 S.Bolognesi (JHU)
WW backgr. in jet multiplicity bins • Exclusive computation have huge errors due to higher pertubative orders ex for H signal: different treatments of the uncontrolled higher-order O(α3s) terms i.e., different NNLO expansions • Inclusive xsec (σ≥Njets), as source of perturbative uncertainties Higgs xsec WG: hep-ex arXiv:1201.3084 -> uncert. on σN = σ≥N − σ≥N+1 with error propagation Uncertainty from MC@NLO scale variation (2nd jet from PS) + ALPGEN comparison Acceptance evaluated in each exclusive jet bin (uncert~5%) + PDF uncertainty (~2%) Implication of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics 20 S.Bolognesi (JHU)
Z in VBF as a candle? • VBF Z production as reference: feasibility study at parton-level @ 10 TeV hep-ex arXiv:1001.4357 Z+qq (4 pb) : signal (~5%) isolated “a posteriori” with partonic cuts -> 2700 events @ 15 fb-1 irreducible background -> 45% eff for VBF-specific cuts -> 23% tighter cuts against Z+jetsQCD (2700 pb) S/B improved of a factor 100: 600/78k events @ 15 fb-1 (S/sqrt(B)~ 2) • Observation feasible but to use as reference need high lumi and to know Z+jets with high precision • Central jet veto suppress only 10% of Z+jets(~useless!) Implication of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics S.Bolognesi (JHU) 21
Jet veto • 3rd jet not well modeled by PS, • central veto De btw Pythia and Herwig ~ 40% ->POWHEG NLO: remaining uncertainty ~% hep-ex arXiv:1107.1641 Higgs xsec WG: hep-ex arXiv:1201.3084 • Check with dijet events + rapidity gap (in low PU) (at large pTjet/pTveto or Dy -> fixed order fails) • NP effects<2% (pTveto > LQCD) • HEJ all-order resummation for wide-angle emissions of similar pT -> fails for pT jet>>pTveto • POWHEG+Pythiagood agreement with data -> differences btw Herwig and Pythia • Similar study in ttbar events ! hep-ex arXiv:1203.5015 Implication of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics S.Bolognesi (JHU) 22
FWD jets modeling • energy lost from jets due to hadronisation • Non-perturbative effects: • energy added to jets from UE • FWD jet spectrum (|h|3.2-4.7) with low PU events central + forward jet hep-ex arXiv:1202.0704 NLO+NP and Powheg+Pythia catch the dependence, not the xsec Herwig does a better job than pythia Pythia Z2 tuned to LHC UE • useful also to commission our detector -> especially in view of PU Implication of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics S.Bolognesi (JHU) 23
Summary • Start studying VV-scattering related issues in different frameworks: • high mass general X->VV search (Higgs SM or BSM, eg graviton) exercising the reconstruction and identification of same final states improve V+jetscontrol studying jet merging • tag jets and jet veto understanding VV in jet multiplicites testing FWD jets modeling and jet vetoing in data Implication of LHC results for TeV-Scale physics S.Bolognesi (JHU) 24
