Z' boson a heavy partner of the Z boson and is predicted by some theories beyond the Standard Model Graviton (spin 2) It is expected that a hypothetical force particle, the graviton (G), is the mediator of gravity G → e+e-, μ+μ- G → γγ G → ZZ → l+l-l+l-

Navigate to the HYPATIA folder you downloaded b. On Windows and Mac:oDouble click on“Hypatia_7.4_Masterclass.jar” c. On Linux: Right click on “HYPATIA_for_Linux.sh” and change permissions so that it is executable. Double-click on “HYPATIA_for_Linux.sh” To access ATLAS data (2017: no password needed!): username: ippog password: mc13 Pick assigned number (1 or 2) and letter (A,B,C,....,Z) Start with Exercise 2: http://atlas.physicsmasterclasses.org/en/zpath_exercise2.htm
Analysis - Evaluate your set of 50 events (e.g. 1C) - Make notes on your tally sheet (e.g. 1C) - Consult cheat list for students: http://cernmasterclass.uio.no/2014/material/cheat-sheet_en.pdf Set pT cut at 5 – 10 GeV Check tracks andphysics objects If two tracks (+- charge) point to two elmag clusters in both views – e+e- candidate If no tracks point to two elmag clusters in both views - γγ candidate If two tracks (+- charge) continue to muon chambers – μμ candidate If four charged tracks (+-+-) - μμμμ, μμee, eeee candidate Check Pixel hits >= 2 and SCT hits >= 7 to see if particles come from the same vertex In case of converted photon candidate: check invariant mass of the (+-) double track, if close to 0, it is photon converted to e+e- - Enter candidate tracks as ee, μμ, γγ to see their invariant mass - Export invariant mass table as .txt file (File – Export invariant masses)

Analyzing your results Di-lepton measurement Compare the histograms of the electron-positron and muon-antimuon pairs. Can you point out differences/similarities? How often does the Z boson decay into electron-positron pairs? How often does the decay result in muon-antimuon pairs? What did you expect? Why? Do you notice any other particles? At which invariant masses? What is the most probable mass of the Z boson? Why is there not one exact value for the Z boson mass? What could be the possible explanations of why the distribution is so wide? Have you discovered the Z' boson? If you think so, what is the Z' boson's mass? Why is it useful to combine your results with those obtained by other groups? Di-photon measurement Do you see any sign of Higgs decaying to 2 photons, H→γγ? If no, what could be the reasons? In fact the full sample does contain some real Higgs candidates, even if you you have not found them!
Backup from 2014 Datasets: ATLAS real pp-data from 2012 at 8 TeV Di-leptons: ~ 20 000 events - Di-electrons and di-muons from Z (mainly), Jpsi and Upsilon - 2 000 fully simulated Z’ events (mass 1 TeV) Higgs candidates: real data events corresponding to 2 fb-1 - Di-photon: 12 000 events cuts as in ATLAS publication–including converted photons - 4-leptons: 40 events cuts as in ATLAS publication - very little background! - almost no need to discuss ET miss!
