  1. W and Z physics at CMS G. Franzoni University of Minnesota On behalf of the CMS collaboration LHC Days - Split Oct 5th, 2010

  2. outline • Physics motivation • Leptons and mET at CMS • W and Z signal extraction • Inclusive W and Z cross sections with 0.198 pb-1 • Differential measurements: • Lepton charge asymmetry • W + jets G. Franzoni UMN - CMS

  3. Why are W and Z interesting • Discovered nearly three decades ago… • Tools for commissioning: • Calibration and alignment • Source of isolated high PT leptons • Production theoretically well understood • Early physics probes: • Cross sections at 7 TeV • Constrain PDF at LHC • Understand background for many physics searches G. Franzoni UMN - CMS

  4. CMS Electromagnetic calorimeter in CMS CMSWeight 14000t Diameter 15m Length 21.6m Magnetic field 3.8T HCAL Muon chamber: Drift Tubes, CSC and RPC’s Tracker: Si strips and pixels Beam pipe ECAL+ PbWO4 Crystals+Si/Pb Preshower 3.8T solenoid Trigger - L1: hardware w/ output 100 kHz - HLT: farm of pc’s w/ same framework offline, O(102) Hz Iron yoke

  5. Datasets • CMS recorded now 10 pb-1, with efficiency in excess of 90% (and growing) • Data : • Analysis presented here: 198 nb-1 • Ever growing dataset included in this analysis. Update with 2.9pb-1 • MC: • NLO Monte Carlo (POWHEG) for EWK processes • PYTHIA for QCD and t tbar • PYTHIA for hadronization • Detector simulation with GEANT4 G. Franzoni UMN - CMS

  6. Muon reconstructions and selection • HLT trigger: pT > 9 GeV/c • Kinematics: • pT > 20 GeV/c • μ1 :|η|<2.1 μ2 for Z:|η|<2.4 • Track quality: • Matching hits in tracker (10) pixel (1) and at least 2 muon stations • χ2/ndf<10; d0 cut reject cosmics • Isolation: in cone of ΔR<0.3 • W: relative isolation from tracker and calorimeters • a < 0.15 • Z: absolute tracker isolation • < 3 GeV/c G. Franzoni UMN - CMS

  7. Electron selection • HLT trigger: cluster ET>15 GeV • Kinematics: • ET > 20 GeV • 0.<||<1.442 or 1.566<||<2.5 • Clustering and tracking customized to recover bremsstrahlung losses • Identification: cluster-track matching, e.m. shower shape and hadron leakage H/E • Isolation: • Isolation from tracker, ECAL and HCAL relative to electron PT • Sum PT within cone of ΔR<0.3, removing electron ‘footprint’ Background enriched Signal enriched G. Franzoni UMN - CMS

  8. Missing ET • Cleaning of instrumental and beam-induced background. Remove hits: • with unphysical pulse shapes or energy sharing across cells in calorimeters • matching parallel-to- beam trajectories • Two ways of exploiting excellent CMS tracking to reconstruct mET: • Track-corrected mET • sum calorimeter towers and replace towers ET with pT of matched charged tracks • Particle Flow mET • vector sum of of all particles identified in the event • PF mET used in this analysis, track-corrected for cross-check min bias di-jets G. Franzoni UMN - CMS

  14. systematic uncertainties on W lν • Main uncertainty from luminosity • Other uncertainties of statistical origin, will decrease in the 2.9pb-1: • efficiencies: measured from MC and corrected with data-drive scale factors (Z events). Uncertainties on factors enter systematics • momentum scale (<1%) and cluster energy scale (<3%) • Scale of mET: estimate <10% from data-MC comparison of W recoil • Impact of PDF on acceptance (CTEQ66, MSTW08NLO, NNPDF2.0) G.

  17. Zee cross section • Selection: • Opposite-charge e’s; same cuts as W, but at looser working point (ε: 80->95%) • 60< mee <120 GeV • Predicted background from di-jets less than one event • Systematic assigned to the impact of energy scale • Update with 2.9pb-1: scale recalibrated (consistent with π0 and η in ECAL barrel) • Cross section: NZ=61 G.
