  1. Observing Heavy Higgs in Weak Boson Fusion with Forward Jet Tagging at the CERN CMS Experiment HATICE DURAN YILDIZ DUMLUPINAR UNIVERSITY TURKEY LHC, PRAHA CONFERENCE JULY 6-12, 2003

  2. Outline • Standard Model & Higgs Mechanism • Higgs Observation • LHC-CMS experiment • Weak Boson Fusion (WBF) • Analysis of qqqqH, HWWljj qqqqH, HZZlljj qqqqH, HZZll • Results mH300 GeV

  3. : unitarity purpose Above this value, perturbation theory is not valid. Limits of the Higgs Mass : • The mass of the Higgs boson is a free parameter because of theunknowncoupling λ, but • SM gives us information about the allowed mass range, by • choosing & finite & Theoretical constraints & experimental limits : • Another hint for the mass of the H boson comes from the precision • fits to electroweak observables : • Direct experimental search at LEP2 gives the lower bound on • Higgs mass as:

  6. l q  W W H q W W q q Characteristics of WBF qqqqH, HWWljj Forward Jets Centrally produced Leptons Color coherence between forward quarks

  7. Simulation of Events # Events are generated with PYTHIA (6152). # Calorimeter simulation, jet and ETmiss reconstruction with CMSJET # Jet reconstructions cone size = 0.5 for mH=600 GeV = 0.7 for mH=300 GeV # For pile-up: --> 2 min. bias events superimposed at low luminosity # We assume 90% efficiency to account for lepton reconstruction and trigger

  8. I have looked the final states of One isolated lepton Two central jets from W & Z One forward jet + one backward jet Main Backgrounds from tt events W + jets events Z + jets events We show our results; For low luminosity only For low (300 GeV) and for high mass (600 GeV) HIGGS mH = 200 & 800 GeV studied too

  9. How to isolate Higgs events? Signature, mass peak Find two vector bosons in event as H WW, ZZ Wl and Z  Z ll Z jj and W jj Reconstructed Higgs  WW or ZZ system Exploit special Kinematics  Pt(WW,ZZ)  Pt(W,Z)  Pt(l) Angular cuts Higgs Production Mode Weak Boson Fusion: Tagging jets with very high mass

  10. pTl>30 GeV SELECTION CUTS: One isolated lepton No charged track with pt>2 GeV in a cone R<0.3 around the lepton

  11. ETmiss >60 GeV for 600 GeV & no cut for 300 GeV Reconstruction of Leptonic W:  Pl is resolved from mW constraint  The smaller of the two solutions is selected

  12. PTWl>200 GeV for 600 GeV & no cut for mH=300 GeV

  13. Central jet cuts: No extra jet in Top mass veto cut: Reconstruct top mass from 3 central jets cut on

  14. Etjets > 40

  15. Large tail due • to merging jets Reconstruction of Hadronic W for 600 GeV  Start asking 2 jets, ET > 40 GeV for Wjj and reconstruct mjj • No mass reconstructed since only 1j found (36%) Reconstr. W mass in the calorimeter for events with 1 central j & for events in the tail mjj > 100 GeV. Start from the direction of harder jet (or single jet), add cells in a cone R=0.9

  16. W Reconstruction of hadronic W for mH=300 GeV Mass window cut 65 < mjj < 100 Two central jets with  jet< 2 ETjet> 40 GeV Problem of merged jets not too serious for mH=300 GeV.

  17. Cut on PTW Hadronic >200 for mH=600 GeV >100 for mH=300 GeV

  18. PtHiggs> 40 GeV

  22. How Big!! Forward jet energies for signal and backgrounds

  23. Tagging cuts: We have also tried Efficiency for forward jet tagging

  24. Compare ? Event Selection forHWWlvjj for mH=300 GeV X 1000 Tagging jet reductions

  25. Compare ? Event Selection for HWWlvjj for mH=600 GeV X 100

  26. Event Selection for HZZlljj for mH=300 GeV

  27. Event Selection for HZZlljj for mH=600 GeV

  28. mH=300 GeV

  29. Same selection criterion used for Zlljj except Zll

  30. S+B

  31. Signal + background

  32. S / For an integrated luminosity of 30 fb-1 Expected luminosities in fb-1 for 5 discovery

  33. Signal and background for H WW / ZZ with mH=800 GeV

  34. CONCLUSIONS • If Higgs Boson exists;HWWlvjj • HZZlljj Channels via Weak Boson Fusion mechanism are potential Discovery channels at CMS experiment at CERN, LHC accelerator. • In 1 year of LHC running, CMS experiment would manifest • with mass 300-800 GeV in WBF. • The analysis,HWWllvj for mH=200 GeV is still statistically • acceptable. • Channel is MSSM is hopeless to observe any Higgs • signal.
