  1. The Level-2 jet trigger and SUSY studies with the ATLAS detector Ignacio Aracena University of Bern SLAC, Nov. 16th 2006

  2. Outline • Introduction • Supersymmetry & mSUGRA • The LHC and the ATLAS detector • The ATLAS trigger system • The Level-2 jet trigger • SUSY decay chain • SUSY events in the electron trigger • Summary I. Aracena

  3. Introduction • Matter ↔ forces interactions are well described by the Standard Model (SM) • In the SM the “Higgs mechanism” generates the particles’ masses • No Higgs particle discovered yet. • SM has shortcomings. It is not the fundamental theory. • New physics phenomena expected at the TeV scale. • A very high luminosity particle accelerator colliding particles at the TeV energy scale is needed! • The Large Hadron Collider • Need an adequate detector to exploit the physics potential • The ATLAS detector I. Aracena

  4. Motivation for Supersymmetry The naturalness problem: mHiggs ~ MPlanck? • Quadratically divergent correction to scalar mass • Corrections cancel (up to lnL) if for each fermion loop an associated boson loop exists No unification of the three forces in the SM? • Introduce new supersymmetric particles which yield unification of the gauge couplings at the GUT scale. 2 2 Introduce new symmetry between fermions and bosons: Supersymmetry! I. Aracena

  5. Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model • The “minimal” implementation of supersymmetry is called Minimal Supersymmetric (extention) of the SM (MSSM) • Solves naturalness problem, unification of couplings • Supersymmetry must be broken • Sparticles have not been seen so far Mslepton ≠ Mlepton (heavier than our current reach) • But don’t know how it is broken: • Several supersymmetry breaking scenarios (SUGRA,GMSB,...) • Each scenario leads to a different phenomenology • Depends on 105 free parameters • MSSM allows proton decay! • Introduce R=(−1)3B−3L−2S parity conservation • Ligthest SUSY Particle (LSP) is stable • If only weakly interacting a perfect candidate for cold dark matter I. Aracena

  6. MSSM particles • After supersymmetry and electroweak symmetry breaking, sparticles mix • to form the physical mass eigenstates • Chargino sector: mixing of • Neutralino sector: mixing of • Large mixing in third generation squark and sleptons • Higgs sector: 5 physical states h, H, A, H± • Assume R-parity conservation: • Sparticles are produced in pairs. • The lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is stable • Assume LSP is electrically neutral and color-neutral • Interacts only weakly with ordinary matter invisible in the detector In pp- collider experiments: missing energy from two invisible LSPs in the final state! I. Aracena

  7. mSUGRA • minimal Super Gravity postulates that hidden and visible sector communicate through gravity • A good framework for studies of SUSY searches at future colliders • Reduces the number of free parameters to five at the GUT scale: • m0 common scalar mass • m1/2 common fermion mass • tanb = vu/vd Higgs vacuum expectation values • A0 common trilinear coupling • sgn(m) sign of Higgs mass parameter • mSUGRA used for ATLAS studies with full detector simulation I. Aracena

  10. Detector requirements In order to exploit the LHC physics potential, build a multipurpose detector with: • Very good calorimetry with good hermeticity • Efficient tracking for precision lepton momentum measurement • Precision muon momentum measurement with standalone capability • Fast trigger system • Radiation hard detector The ATLAS detector I.

  12. Physics events at the LHC Event rate at the LHC is 1GHz! Cannot record all events on tape, but: Minimum bias events, SM physics at ~MHz Reject uninteresting events online + Interesting new physics (SUSY) at ≤Hz rate! Select interesting events online = The ATLAS trigger system I. Aracena

  13. The ATLAS trigger Level 1 (hardware): Defines Regions of Interest (RoI). Uses Calo cells and Muon chambers with reduced granularity. e/g, m, t, jet candidates. 2ms Execution time <75(100) kHz High Level Trigger (PC farm) 10ms Level 2 O(500PCs): Seeded by LVL1 RoI.

  15. The Level-2 jet trigger

  16. The Level-2 jet trigger package • Uses Level-1 jet RoI as seed. • Calls a number of tools: • Data preparation tool: Access selected calo region around the Level-1 jet RoI. • Cone algorithm: Assume cone-shaped jet with defined Rcone. • Calibration: Calibrate jet energy using sampling technique. I. Aracena

  17. The Level-2 jet data preparation The data preparation tool is the most critical in terms of timing performance (O(106) calorimeter cells) Two data preparation methods implemented: • T2CaloJetGridFromCells (cell jets): Uses full granularity of the ATLAS calorimeters. • T2CaloJetGridFromFEBHeader (LArFEB jets): Uses information from the LAr calorimeter Front End Boards (FEB). Uses cell-granularity for the tile calorimeter. One FEB receives signals from 128 calorimeter channels. Calculate Ex, Ey, Ez over all channels connected to one FEB. Translate this into ET, h, f . I. Aracena

  18. Level-2 jet energy calibration Need to correct the energy scale: T2CaloJetCalibTool • Use sampling techniqueE(rec)=wem(η)E(em)+whad(η)E(had), • wem,had = a+blog(E) • Estimate weights by minimizing • Compute weights for bins in η with ∆η(bin)=0.1 • Weights obtained using cell-based method • Apply computed weights to cell- and LArFEB-jets I. Aracena

  19. Level-2 trigger algorithm Half Width • A TrigT2Jet object is created with L1 h, f. • Data preparation tool access data around the L1 ROI (HalfWidth). Creates grid of detector readout elements (grid elements). • Jet Cone algorithm iteration (N times): • Set inCone flag for gridElements inside cone radiusRcone=(∆h2+ ∆f2)1/2 • Calculate energy-weighted h,f. • Updates TrigT2Jet e, h, f. • Iterate N times. • Apply calibration weights. • Export final values. ConeRadius ROI N iterations ROI Study jet trigger performance as a function of: Data preparation tool, RoI HalfWidth, N iterations, coneRadius, calibration weights. I. Aracena

  20. L2 jet system performance Difference between two consecutive iterations of T2CaloJetConeTool (Using 1000 dijet events pt>2240GeV) ∆E=jetN(E)−jetN-1(E) ∆R=jetN(R)−jetN-1(R) T2CaloJetConeTool converges after 3-4 iterations (cell- and LArFEB-based) I. Aracena

  21. L2 jet system performance Number of grid elements prepared by the data preparation tools LArFEB method reduces the amount of data by one order of magnitude. I. Aracena

  22. L2 jet timing Level-2 jet timing performance (in ms, 2.8GHz) Map (h,f)-region to detector ID Convert bytestream to C++ objects for LAr and tile calo Prepare all grid elements inside cone One iteration of the cone algorithm LArFEB method reduces the amount of data by one order of magnitude. Significant impact on timing. I. Aracena

  23. Physics performance Use QCD dijet samples: Compare L2 jets with MC truth jets: • Cone algorithm • Rcone=0.4, Eseed > 2GeV, Econe > 10GeV • Use Level-2 jet algorithm parameters: • cell- and LArFEB method, Rcone=0.4, RoI HalfWidth=0.7, N iterations=3 I. Aracena

  26. L2 jet energy scale Data sample 1120 < pT < 2240 Cell-based LArFEB-based EL2/EMC>1 Larger spread Need dedicated LArFEB weights! EL2/EMC~<1 Difference between detector layout I. Aracena

  27. SUSY searches at ATLAS In the mSUGRA bulk region

  28. ATLAS mSUGRA points Following points have been chosen for study with the full ATLAS detector simulation The results shown in this talk are in the bulk region I. Aracena

  29. The bulk region Mass hierarchy mSUGRA Parameters: M0 = 100GeV M1/2 = 300GeV A0 = − 300GeV tanβ = 6 σLO = 19.3pb Long decay chains: large missing ET and high-pt jets +leptons in the final state The following results are obtained using this mSUGRA scenario and using the full ATLAS detector simulation. I. Aracena

  30. Inclusive SUSY searches Typical SUSY event contains at least 4 jets+missing Et Effective mass missEt>max(0.2Meff,100GeV) 1,2 jets Pt>100GeV 3,4 jets Pt>50GeV Bulk region 4.20fb−1 I. Aracena

  31. ATLAS Bulk region 4.20fb−1 p p • only SUSY signal (full sim.) • select events with 2 leptons Exclusive signatures • After initial discovery of SUSY the measurement of the sparticle masses will be the next step. • Two invisible LSP in each event, so no direct mass measurement possible. • Obtain kinematic edges from invariant mass distributions of involved particles, e.g. dilepton distribution mll. • Remove SUSY/SM BG using OppositeFlavor/OppositeSign (OF/OS) pairs, e.g. . I. Aracena

  32. large small mllq (GeV) mllq (GeV) Leptons+jets distributions - mllq Obtain more edges: include the quark coming from the squark decay Combine the two leptons with the two hardest jets in the event: p p Bulk region: signal evts (full sim.); ≥2 jets and 2 leptons.

  33. MC truth (Herwig) Bulk region Tau signatures Decay chains involving taus are challenging, due to: • Escaping neutrino. • Only consider hadronic tau decays. Distorted shape of the ditau mass distribution. They are particularly interesting: • for large tanβ, decays into have large BR. • Can use tau polarization measurement to further constrain the underlying SUSY model. I. Aracena

  34. Reconstruct the dilepton inv. mass in the decay chain. Shape of can be calculated given knowledge of tau polarizations. Extracting polarization is challenging. mττ (vis)/98.3 Ditau mass distribution • Bulk region • select events with two reconstructed taus. • Uncorrelated pairs accounted • for by using same-sign pairs. • True endpoint • Endpoint structure visible at the expected • value. ATLAS 4.2fb−1 full sim. mττ (vis) (GeV) Use MC truth as a first approx. and fit obtained function to data. I. Aracena

  35. SUSY and trigger? • In the shown plots trigger effects are not taken into account, i.e. assume 100% trigger efficiency. • In the real experiment the trigger will select online the events. • Events rejected by the trigger are lost forever! • Need to understand and plan a concise strategy for triggering on SUSY events. trigger-aware analysis! I. Aracena

  36. No. events after L1/L2/EF Eff = No. events with ≥1 e± in MC truth Electron trigger – e25i The Level-1 electron trigger • Electron trigger: • look for isolated EM cluster • match cluster to reconstructed track (only L2 & EF) hadronic isolation EM isolation Tune “e25i” trigger item with single electrons with ET=25GeV: central Region of Interest (RoI) cluster I. Aracena

  37. Complex SUSY event signatures non-isolated electrons e25i trigger – with SUSY Estimate e25i trigger efficiency using SUSY sample Level1 EM25i cuts (GeV) tuned for 95% efficiency: ClusterET > 19 EmRingIsol < 3 HadIsol < 2 Remove isolation at LVL1: ClusterET > 19 EmRingIsol < 999999 HadIsol < 999999 I. Aracena

  38. Electron efficiency – SUSY • How many good events are lost in the trigger (compared to offline)? • Compare pt distribution of leading electron (bulk+pileup 1033cm–2s–1): • offline reconstruction PT>15GeV, |h|<2.5 • offline reconstruction + electron trigger e25i||2e15i||e60 90% of the offline events (e25i||2e15i||e60) are also triggered I. Aracena

  39.

I. Aracena

  40. Outlook • Compute dedicated weights for the LArFEB-method. • Implement tile FEB information. • Speed up cone jet algorithm • Study Level-2 jet performance with SUSY events • Look at more complex trigger signatures (e.g. jets + non-isolated electron) I. Aracena

  41. Backup

  42. The Standard Model Higgs particle “generates mass” of SM particles, but no Higgs particle detected yet! I. Aracena

  43. Supersymmetry • Postulates a new (yet unseen) symmetry that swaps fermions into bosons: • every known particle has a superpartner Q| f > = | b > Q| b > = | f > (Q = symmetry generator) • Doubles the known particle content (new s-particles), two Higgs doublets, and arranges them in Supermultiplets: I. Aracena

  44. p q l l Inclusive SUSY signatures • A typical SUSY event at LHC will contain hard jets + n leptons and large missing transverse energy, ET . • The SUSY mass scale: • The effective Mass gives a handle on the SUSY mass scale (Hinchliffe et al., Phys. Rev. D55 (1997) 5520): • Cuts to reject SM background • 4 jets with PT > 50GeV • 2 jets with PT > 100GeV • ET > max(0.2Meff,100GeV) • no lepton miss coannihilation ATLAS 20.6fb−1 SUSY signal (full sim.) miss SM background (ATL-PHYS-2004-011) I. Aracena
