  3. CDF: A multi-purpose detector for studying hadronic collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron:

  4. The motivation: • Jet distributions at colliders can: • signal new particles • test QCD predictions • check parton distribution functions

  5. The data: CDF reconstructs jets using an iterative cone algorithm with cone radius • Jet energies are corrected for • calorimeter non-linearity • uninstrumented regions • contributions from spectator partons

  6. The iterative cone algorithm: • Examine all calorimeter towers with ET > 1 GeV. • Form preclusters from continuous groups of towers with monotonically decreasing ET. • If a tower is outside a window of 7 x 7 towers from the seed of its cluster, start a new precluster with it. • For each precluster, find the ET-weighted centroid with R = 0.7. • Define the centroid to be the new cluster axis. • Save all towers with ET > 100 MeV within R = 0.7 about the new axis. • Iterate until the tower list is stable.

  7. The Inclusive Jet Cross Section • For jet transverse energies in the range 40 < ET < 440 GeV: this probes distances down to 10-17 cm. • The analysis: • For luminosity (88.8 ± 4.1) pb-1 • Trigger on jet-like events: accept 4 triggers with uncorrected ET thresholds at 20, 50, 70, and 100 GeV; correct for pre-scaling

  8. C • Apply data quality requirements: • zvertex< 60 cm to maintain projective geometry of calorimeter towers • 0.1 < |detector| < 0.7 for full containment of energy in central barrel • Etotal < 1800 GeV to reject accelerator loss events • Define ET = Esin and = missing ET. Require to reject cosmic rays • Correct (“unsmear”) observed ET for energy degradation and calorimeter resolution

  9. Calculate the cross section: • where • N = number of events • L = luminosity •  range is 1.2 • and ET bins have width 5 - 80 GeV • Compare to EKS (Ellis, Kunszt, Soper) NLO calculation with CTEQ4M pdf and renormalization/factorization scale = ETjet/2

  10. Systematic uncertainties (all uncorrelated) on the inclusive jet cross section: i. Calorimeter response to high-pT charged hadrons ii. Calorimeter response to low-pT charged hadrons iii. Energy scale stability (1%) iv. Jet fragmentation model used in the simulation v. Energy of the underlying event in the jet cone (30%) vi. Calorimeter response to electrons + photons vii. Modelling of the jet energy resolution function viii. Luminosity (4.1%)

  11. The Dijet Mass Cross Section • Many classes ofnew particles have a larger branching fraction to just2 partons than to modes containing a lepton or a W/Z…so this can be a powerful way to search for new particles. • The analysis: • For luminosity (85.9 ± 4.1) pb-1 • Trigger on jet-like events • Select events with 2 jets, both with |event| < 2.

  12. Define*  (1-2)/2, then require   e2|*| < 5. This is the same as |cos*| = |tanh *| < 2/3 where * is the Rutherford scattering angle: • Apply the data quality cuts. • Correct for trigger efficiency, |zvertex| cutefficiency, resolution, and calorimeter effects.

  13. Define the dijet mass: • Calculate the cross section: • where: • N = number of events, corrected for prescaling • L = luminosity • Mjj = 10% mass bins (consistent with detector resolution) • Compare to JETRAD (Giele, Glover, Kosower) NLO calculation with CTEQ4M +  = ETmax/2. Two partons are merged if they are within Rsep = 1.3 R.

  14. The dijet mass cross section compared to JETRAD with CTEQ4M:

  15. Compare results to data + JETRAD with other pdf’s: Changing  from 0.5 ETmax to 0.25 ETmax changes the normalization by 25%.

  16. Compare CDF and D0 results for CTEQ4M (D0 examines || < 1 with no requirement on cos*)

  17. Systematic uncertainties on the dijet mass cross section (17-34%, asymmetric + ET-dependent): • Absolute energy scale (14-31%): • Calorimeter calibration: 1.3-1.8% over the ET range • Jet fragmentation model: 1.2-1.7% over the ET range • Calorimeter stability: 1% of E • Energy of the underlying event: 1 GeV • Unsmearing: • Parameterization of the resolution function: 1-9% depending on Mjj • Variation between analytic and MC procedure: ±4% • Detector simulator energy scale: 2-8%

  18. Relative jet energy scale (5-9% depending on Mjj and considering all instrumented regions): • Other uncertainties: • luminosity: 4.1% • prescale factors: 1.7-3.5% depending on trigger used. • |zvertex| cut efficiency: 1% • trigger efficiency: < 1% depending on the statistics of the turn-on region of the trigger.

  19. The Dijet Differential Cross Section • The rapidity dependence of the cross section probes the parton momentum fractions. • The analysis: • For luminosity (86.0 ± 4.1) pb-1 • Trigger on jet-like events; select events with  2 jets • Apply data quality cuts

  20. Order the jets by ET. Define: • The “leading jet”: with highest ET. Require that it has 0.1 < |1| < 0.7 and ET1 > 40 GeV. • The “probe jet”: with second highest ET. Require that it has ET2 > 10 GeV. • Correct jet energies for calorimeter effects; require ET1 > 35 GeV. • Classify events according to probe jet , 2: • 0.1 < |2| < 0.7 • 0.7 < |2| < 1.4 • 1.4 < |2| < 2.1 • 2.1 < |2| < 3.0

  21. Correct (“unsmear”) measured  • Correct for trigger efficiency, prescale, and vertex-finding efficiency • For events in each of the 4 2 classes, calculate the cross section: • N = number of events, corrected for prescale • L = luminosity • ET1 bins are consistent with detector resolution • Compare to JETRAD for 3 pdf’s +  = ETmax/2

  22. Sources of systematic errors on the dijet differential cross section: • Same as for inclusive cross section +  resolution

  23. Probing the high-x, high-Q2 regime: Notice that for a two-body process, and so these data examine a range in (x,Q2) including that where an excess was observed at HERA:
