  2. What is System8 ? System8 is a method to determine signal and background fractions, as well as selection efficiencies. It uses only data. Some correction factors may be add from MC. It allows to extract normalized distribution of sensitive variables in data. First developed for b-tagging efficiencies measurements… and used sucessfully. (It as been adopted as one of the efficiency measurement by every b-tagging algorithms) DØ Note 4159 Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  3. Assuming s independent data samples containing b different signal or backgrounds, one can write for each sample j (j=1..s) an equation: with n ji: fraction of signal i in sample j. Moreover supposing t different selection criteria (cuts on various variables), one can write for each sample j (j=1..s) and each criteria k (k=1..t) another equation: with εki: efficiency of cut k on signal i. qkj: fraction of remaining events in sample j after cut k. A bit of maths… Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  4. A bit more… If the selection criteria are independent, the efficiencies of applying x criteria ki,i=1..x can be written : And then, new equations applying several criteria : Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  5. And finally… The various qj are easily mesured on data. Selections and samples bring : 2t.s equations, b.(s+t) unkowns (fractions and efficiencies). You need as many equations as unknowns : 2t.d = b.(d+t) Simplest (???) solutions are : (a) s = 1 , t = 3 , b = 2 and (b) s = 2 , t = 2 , b = 2. => 8 equations, 8 unknowns : SYSTEM8.

  6. First example : System8 in b-id Use the 2 samples solution. Sample 1 : Jets with a soft muon. Sample 2 : Jets with soft muon and back to back tagged jet Tagging criteria 1 : PTrel(muon) > 0.7 GeV. Tagging criteria 2 : JLIP < 1% (or CSIP, SVT tag). 1 signal : b jets. 1 background : c+light jets (weak point of the method…). Output gives the b-tagging efficiency. Single Top meeting - B.

  7. System8 to estimate W/QCD background Use System8 instead of Matrix Method. QCD and W fractions in loose samples, as well as W and QCD efficiencies are output of the method. Proposed solution : 1 sample, 3 criteria. Sample : preselected loose sample in electron channel (p13) (Emmanuel’s preselection cuts DØ note 4274). Selection 1 : Electron likelihood LH > 0.4 (loose -> tight). Selection 2 : MET>35 GeV. Selection 3 : MTW > 40 GeV. 2 backgrounds : QCD and W+signal. Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  9. Results • Problem : MET and MTW are not independent. • Use MC W+jets to estimate correlation factors : For proposed cuts : CMET,MTW = 1.032 +/- 0.01 CMET,LH = 0.997 +/- 0.01 CLH,MTW = 1.002 +/- 0.01 System 8 output : Efficiencies : εLHW = (71.6 +/- 2.0) % εLHQCD = (19.2+/- 1.8) % W and QCD fractions (loose sample) : nW = 0.53 +/- 0.03 nQCD = 0.47 +/- 0.02 W and QCD fractions (tight sample) : nW = 0.81 +/- 0.04 nQCD = 0.20+/- 0.02 Single Top meeting - B.

  11. Normalized distributions of sensitive variables from data Instead of a simple cut, use a bin for one of the criteria : for example, a < MET < b. Then the efficiencies for the new criteria is the fraction of W and QCD in that interval. For each bin : - Evaluate MC correlation factors (ALPGEN W+jets p14.02). - Solve the System8. => Normalized distributions of the variable. Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  12. MET : correlation factors MET bins : x<MET<x+5, x = 20,25…90 LH > 0.4, MTW > 40 GeV. MET - MTW MET - LH Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  13. MET distributions -W distribution is compared to MC W+jets. -System8 shows some instability when W and QCD efficiencies are close (crossing point ). Crossing point Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  14. MET : other crosschecks Look at the stability of W, QCD fractions and efficiencies. Crossing point rejected Fit : 79.3 +/- 7.8% Fit : 20.7 +/- 3.6 % Fit : 71.0 +/- 2.5 % Fit : 21.2 +/- 3.0 % Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  15. MTW : correlation factors MTW bins : x<MTW<x+10, x = 10,20…120 LH > 0.4, MET > 35 GeV. MET - MTW MTW - LH Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  16. MTW distributions -W distribution is compared to MC W+jets. -System8 shows some instability when W and QCD efficiencies are close (crossing point ). Crossing point Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  17. MTW : other crosschecks Look at the stability of W, QCD fractions and efficiencies. Fit : 21.5 +/- 3.5 % Fit : 77.5 +/- 6.9 % Fit : 73.1 +/- 2.7 % Fit : 21.03 +/- 2.9 % Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  18. Correlation Factors without correlation factors without correlation factors with correlation factors with correlation factors Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  19. Summary System8 can be used to determine: - QCD and W background in loose/tight sample. - Loose to tight (e-LH) efficiencies. Values are estimated on the analysis sample : - data based method. - no topological effects (Matix method uses Z->ee to determine LH efficiency). - can be used whatever your preselections are. Various crosschecks are consistant. MET and MTW distributions from data seems ok. Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003

  20. Plans To do on System8: - Optimize the cuts (MET>35 GeV, MTW>40 GeV ). - Other variables ? (Topo cuts instead of MET -> gives topological selection efficiencies as well.) Next week : - JLIP uptade (p14 TRF) - Fist pass on data (p13) with JLIP tagging. Single Top meeting - B. Clément - 20 nov 2003
