Quark Compositeness Search with γ+Jet Final State at the LHC Satyaki Bhattacharya, Sushil S. Chauhan, Brajesh Choudhary, Debajyoti Choudhury Department of Physics & Astrophysics University of Delhi, India India-CMS Meeting @ Delhi 28th September 2007
Outline • Motivation for the Study • Earlier studies within the same model • Signal and Backgrounds • Future Plans
Motivation • Probes coupling of excited quark to its SM counterparts • Physics at low luminosity (~100 pb-1 to 1 fb-1) • Direct search for mass peak • Limits can be set on parameter space much above the Tevatron reach • Di-jet QCD background is reducible due to clean hard photon (with tight isolation cuts)
Earlier Work with Di-photon Final State arXive:0705.3472v1[hep-ph] CMS IN 2007/039 Submitted to PRD (responding to referees comments)
Poster Presented at Lepton Photon 2007, Daegu, Korea SELECTED AS BEST POSTER IN EXPERIMENTAL PARTICLE PHYICS CATEGORY CERTIFICATE & PRIZE AWARDED
Signal and Backgrounds • Feynman diagrams for the signal. No Peak, Excess over SM part Mass Peak • Feynman diagrams for the γ+jetbackground (Type-I). • Z(jj)+γ and W(jj)+γ Background (Type-II).
Matrix Element for qgγ+Jetvia q* SM Piece By: Prof. Debajyoti Choudhury
Background and X-sections Cross Section (pb) for backgrounds in different PT-hat bin Type-1: SM γ+jet Background – Non-Reducible Interested above 200 GeV onwards.
Background and X-Section Type-2: From Z(jj)+ & W(jj)+ - small & reducible but comparable to gg γ+jet) Type-3: SM Jet-Jet background where one of the Jet(s) fakes a Photon – Largest Background – Reduce with isolation requirements
Photon and Jets • Algorithm to “reconstruct” the photon at the generator level (Reference - Marco Pieri et al. CMS IN 2005/018, and CMS IN 2007/039 – our earlier study) • Select a seed with P,e±T> 5 GeV • Search around the seed in 10x10 crystal geometry in φ and η directions • With Δφ=0.09 and Δη=0.09 • Add 4-momentum vectors of found EM objects • Vector additions provides Photon Candidate • For Jet used Iterative Cone Algorithm with R=0.5 and seed PT 1.0 GeV (Inclusive jet i.e. neutrinos and muons are included in the jet definition)
Preliminary Distributions (I) Generation cuts: PT-hat ≥ 190 GeV on partons with no cut on η All plots are for Lint=10 pb-1 Signal is qg γ+jet via q*
Preliminary Distributions (II) Selection Cuts: PTγ ≥ 200GeV, PT jet ≥200 GV | ηγ | ≤ 2.5 , |ηjet | ≤ 2.5
Preliminary Distribution (V) Invariant Mass distribution without any isolation cuts Backgrounds and signal separately
Preliminary Distribution (VI) To decide track minimum PT to count them as track (final state, pi±, e±, p± & K± are considered as tracks ) Isolation variables:
Preliminary Distribution (VII) With Isolation cut: Riso≤ 0.35, ET SUM < 5GeV Study in progress to understand other isolation variables such as – number of tracks etc. and optimize various isolation cuts
Future Plans • Complete the generator level study for q* to γ+jet final state with large statistics and set limits on Λ and Mq* for CMS setup (Submit as CMS IN) • This study will be presented in the SUSY/BSM meeting on 28th September at CERN • At present interfacing γγ and γ+Jet final states via q* within CMSSW framework as an external routine. • Will soon provide .cfg file for both channels to the production team.
Available Literature For Quark & Lepton compositeness: • Dijet channel (Phys.Rev. D-03110, Robert Harris hep-ph/9609319) • Drell -Yan (S. Jain et. al.hep-ex/0005025 ) • Gamma+Jet final State: ATLAS collaboration (ATL –PHYS-99-002). (No such study exists for CMS) • Two photon final state: Some phenomenological studies have been done without complete SM background e.g.,Thomas G. Rizzo PRD v51,Num-3 (No such study exists for CMS) • Existing Limit at the LHC’s center of mass energy, with two photon final state is: ~Λ >2.8 TeV for contact interaction (depends on kinematical cuts and luminosity)
Compositeness scale Compositeness scale: • Λ >> sqrt (s-hat) : Contact interaction • Λ << sqrt (s-hat) : Excited state • Λ ~ sqrt (s-hat) : Model Dependent
Present Limit on M* Limits from Tevatron: • CDF: M* > 80 GeV (q*q ) • CDF: M* > 150 GeV (q* q W ) • CDF (All channels): M* >200 GeV • D0: M*> 200 GeV • Simulation study: Mass reach up to 0.94 TeV at Tevatron ( 2 TeV, 2 fb-1, q*q-qbar) • ATLAS Study: upto 6.5 TeV at LHC ( f=fs=1, q*q )
