Hadronic W reconstruction Lily Jan 08
Preamble: Hadronic W is a composite particle made up from 2 (ish) Jets. ‘Proper’ way to calculate mass of W (and the way we do it in our ttH analysis code) is this way: Where jet masses determined from calo towers using: But I tried re-doing it the lazy way (for various not-so-lazy reasons): And to my surprise I found more desirable results. Why is this? Is it a trick?
Tower jets : Calibrated to particle level (calo cells weighted, then f(Et,eta)=Etrec/EtMC applied (QCD dijets)). Jets have had soft muons after being reconstructed, calibrated. Reco W has higher mass than gen W, particularly for higher jet Et and Looks better using massless jet approximation….
Now notice drop in linearity for lower Et jets. Why? Reco/gen Reco/truth…
Low Et: Reco Jets~0.93, Truth jets ~0.88 R/T~1.06 Higher Et: Reco Jets~1.03, Truth Jets~1.06 *But* Reco jets have been calibrated to detector and physics.
