  1. W Charge asymmetry Cigdem Issever, Adam Scott, and David Stuart UCSB Preblessing, EWK 5/13/04 • CDF Note 6282, Measurement of W en Charge Asymmetry • CDF Note 6108, Alignment of the Plug Calorimeter • CDF Note 6412, QCD Background for Plug Ws

  2. Motivation • W± charge asymmetry arises from u(x)/d(x) in proton. • Gives most sensitive u/d constraint at our x and Q2 • But still not well constrained at high x (high h). • We don’t already know the answer. Experimentally appealing. Can improve many of our forthcoming measurements.

  3. Damn the n’s. forward e ahead Asymmetry in W production complicated by unknown n pz So, use lepton asymmetry Which convolves production asymmetry with V-A decay.

  4. Damn the n’s, forward e ahead  Forward electrons with charge id are the key.

  5. Phoenix Tracking • Two points and a curvature • define a unique helix: • Primary vertex • Shower Max cluster • ET |C| Attach hits using OI tracking Select track with better c2/dof

  6. Phoenix Tracking

  7. Plug Alignment (CDF6108) Align plug (actually PES) with COT tracks: allow offsets in x,y,z and a rotation in phi

  8. Plug Alignment Measure and correct, iteratively from largest to smallest f, x & y, Z

  9. Internal Alignment Residual misalignments attributed to internal octant offsets Fit for f and radial shifts in each octant.

  10. Consistent internals between bpel08 and bpel09

  11. Residuals look good after alignment We performed various validity and systematic checks and found it to be robust with small systematics.

  12. Charge ID Incorrectly identifying the charge dilutes the asymmetry. We can correct for it if we know the rate, fQ # wrong / total Atrue = Ameas / (1-2fQ) So make fQ small and measure it. MC predicts fQ ≈ 1%. But MC doesn’t know about residual mis-alignments etc. We must measure it in data and cannot assume any h dependence. Measured fQ(h) with Z e+e-

  13. Z Event Selection Baseline electron selection with COT or PHX track. ET>25 GeV PHX track is slightly non-standard to optimize fQ. # hits >= 4 c2 < 8 Dc2 > 0.5 Seed Pull < 0.4 80<mee<100 and compare central Qtag

  21. Background • We correct the asymmetry for backgrounds from: • W tn  enn • Asymmetric, measured from MC • Z e+e- • Asymmetric, measured from MC • QCD • Symmetric, measured from data CDF 6412. • Use Iso vs MET.

  22. QCD Background systematic • Check assumption of non-correlation • small systematic, as long as we don’t use the PEM 3x3 c2 or 5x9 cuts (they are correlated with Iso)  upper limit by about a factor of 2.

  23. QCD Background CDFII Preliminary ∫Ldt=170/pb QCD fraction h We use 0.5 ± 0.25. Becomes significant for h >1.8
