WW Scattering studies for the Future Linear Collider Andres F. Osorio Postgraduate student High Energy Physics Group
Contents Motivation Work done/ preliminary results Final remarks
Motivation To study WW scattering in the frame of the Electroweak Chiral Langrangian at e+e- colliders • WLWLWLWL • Sensitive to the physics of • Electroweak Symmetry breaking • Look for resonances (scalar, vector, …) • Compare with LHC “WW scattering at LHC”, J. Butterworth, B. Cox, J. Forshaw “Strong Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Signals in WW scattering at TESLA”, R. Chierici, S. Rosati, M. Kobel
First steps • Generating a SM Higgs of mass Mh0 = 300 GeV/c2 • C.M.E. of 800 GeV. • Generating my events with Pythia 6.2 • Look for the 4 quarks final states using a jet finder algorithm • No detector simulation for the moment
Quick review SM Higgs production at e+e- collider: * Higgs-strahlung * WW fusion SM Higgs decays modes
Analysis • Using the KT algorithm (C++ implementation) • -> E recombination scheme. • -> Force to have 4 jets. • It is clear that this should work but I’m having problems when I form pairs of jets and reconstruct the signal. • ->This isn’t working, so I had to perform a subjet analysis (using ycut set to 0.0005).
Signal • Selection: • Take all possible pairs of combinations of jets. • Using the criteria • |Mij-MW|*|Mkl-MW| • take the minimum. L = 500 fb-1
Background L = 500 fb-1
Final remarks • It’s not yet well understood why the problem in having only 4 jets: • - Is it a problem with the generated events? • - Is it a “bug” in the K++? • Lots of things to do: • - Refine the selection method and apply cuts • - Work fully on the background signals (QCD?) • - Study the angular distribution Cos (*)
