SUSY MultileptonSearch (Cheu, Lampen) Search for SUSY decays with three or more leptons, jets and missing ET Promising because of low backgrounds and good sensitivity Contributions: Early data analysis 34 pb-1: Validation of analysis and systematic studies. ATLAS-COM-CONF-2011-039 Full 2 fb-1 analysis: Trigger studies and fake rate studies ATLAS-COM-CONF-2011-144 and ATLAS-COM-PHYS-2011-1561 Optimization using multivariate analysis: 2 fb-1 Caleb Lampen's thesis. E. Cheu - The ATLAS Experiment 2
SUSY Multilepton Search • Trigger efficiencies • For EF_e20_medium using tag and probe method on Z to ee events • Weight map = f(Et, h, f) validated and used in the analysis • Three lepton MSUGRA limits • Parameter space exclusion will significantly increase with full 2011 data set
Light Charged Higgs Decays (Cheu, Mal) • In MSSM it is possible for mH < mt • t → bH • For tan b > 1, H→ tnt is favored • Our contributions: • Sensitivity study: With 1 fb-1 at 7 TeV, we should have siginificant improvement over FNAL • ATL-COM-PHYS-2010-236 • Data/MC study: 1 fb-1 study of important variables • ATL-COM-PHYS-2011-187 • Full Analysis: Fake rates and background studies for 1 fb-1 analysis • ATL-PHYS-INT-2011-093
CSC Electronic Calibration • Our contributions: Cheu, Lampen, Leone, Mal • Develop and maintain calibration software and related procedures. • Develop database to store all data. • Develop monitoring tools to check validity of data and constants. • Check validity of calibration process. • In situ alignment of CSC chambers • Global χ2 alignment method E. Cheu - The ATLAS Experiment
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope • Camera • UAbuilding camera power supplies • First prototype layout done • UA also providing control software (Johns, Lei) • Weak Lensing • Map distribution of dark matter to distinguish models of Dark Energy • Our efforts: • Understand effects of photometric-z on Dark Energy signal • Postdoc: A. Abate – UA Funding
