Search for a heavy neutral particle decaying into an electron and a muon • predicted by a number of extensions to SM:R-parity violating(RPV) SUSY,and Z’ with lepton flavor violating(LFV) interactions. • the e muon final state channel is chosen due to clean detector signature and low SM bkg in high mass region. • background: 1.Z/γ->tautau,ttbar,single top,dibosons 2 .W/Z+γ,W/Z+jet,and multijets
Measurement of W+jet/Z+jet cross section ratio • an important test of SM description of the strong interaction in perturbative QCD • individual measurements of kinematics observables in W+jet and Z+jet are limited by systematic uncertainties commom to both . • to exploit the cancellation of theoretical and experiment uncertainties,building the foundation of a high precision test of SM.
Measurement of W+jet/Z+jet cross section ratio • the number of events after selection and bkg subtraction are corrected to the particle level, using trigger efficiency, lepton identification efficiency,and boson reconstruction and resolution
Measurement of W+jet/Z+jet cross section ratio • Rjet in the electron and muon channel
Measurement of W+jet/Z+jet cross section ratio • combined results in a common fiducial region and full phase space
Search for Higgs-> γγ • below114.4GeV and above 141GeV has been excluded • background: 1.diphoton process 2.photon candidate from misidentified jet 3. misidentified electron (Drell-Yan)
To optimize the sensitivety to a potential Higgs signal,introduce a new observable to split the events into categories.
the background is estimated from the data by fitting the diphoton mass spectrum in the whole range of 100-160GeV with a single exponential function.
Results The maximum deviation from the background only expectation is observed at 126GeV with a local significance of 2.8 standard deviations. A SM higgs boson is excluded at 95% CL in the mass range of 114-115 and 135-136 GeV
Search for graviton-> γγ • To address the hiercrchy problem(the enormous difference between the Planck scale and the electroweak scale) through the existence of extra spatial dimention. • the KK gravitions can be investigate due to their coupling to SM particle-antiparticle pairs. • Models: 1. ADD model postulate the existence of n flat additional spatial dimentions conpactified with radius R,in which only gravitons propagate. 2 .RS model posits the existence of a fifth dimension with warped geometry . channel : γγ clean experimental signature,excellent diphoton mass resolution,modest background,and a branch ratio that is twice of that to charged individual lepton pairs.
Background : 1.irreducible SM γγproduction 2.reducible,misidentified photon: γ+jet,jet+jet the total bkg is normalized to the number of events in low mass control region in which signal has been excluded.
Given the absence of evidence for a signal, set limits on ADD and RS model.
Measurement of the W+W- Cross Section • The production rate and kinematic distribution of w+w- are sensitive to the triple gauge couplings of the w bosons. w+w- production is an important background to Standard Model higgs boson search • Search channel :w+wllnunu • Background: 1. W+jets with one jet misidentified as a lepton 2.Drell-Yan production 3.top production (ttbar and Wt) 4.other diboson process
Kinematic distribution of the observed events are consistent with the standard model expection.
Measurement of the W+W- Cross Section conclusions 1.use a maxmimum likelihood fitting method to combine the three channels. . In good agreement with the Standard Model prediction of
Measurement of W γand Z γcross section • Important test of SM: the Wγprocess is directly sensitive to the triple gauge boson couplings.
Measurement of W γand Z γcross section • Background :1.mainly W(Z)+jets events where photons from the decay products of mesons produced by the jet fragmentation 2.EW+ttbar bkg:For Wγ: For Zγ
Search for resonant WZ production in the WZ->lvll channel • Many extensions predicts: Extended Gauge Model(EGM), through W’ Low Scale Technicolor Model(LSTC), through techni-rho The transverse mass of the selected candidates is examined for the appearance of a new resonance. Background: 1.mainly SM WZ production, and ZZ, Zgamma, estimated using MC simulation 2. ll+jets estiamated by data-driven approach ,fake factor
Search for resonant WZ production in the WZ->lvll channel • The number of observed candidates is consistent with the bkg only hypothesis and no statistical significance excess is observed, limits are set.
Search for high mass dilepton resonance • Narrow high mass resonance decaying to e+e-,mu+mu- pairs. • Models:1. Z’: SSM,E6 2. RS graviton, 3. G* 4. Z* Background : mainly Drell-Yan process and ttbar ,dibosons,W+jets,QCD
