Progress Report on W and Z Cross-Section Measurements and Di-Boson Physics Studies
In the latest meeting involving around 18 participants from 10 institutes, we discussed ongoing studies in the cross-sections for W/Z and di-boson processes. Key topics included the efficiency of electron and muon triggers, particle identification, and event selection for both 1pb^-1 and 1fb^-1 integrated luminosities. Preliminary results indicate that ATLAS will establish WW, WZ, and Zγ signals with significant confidence using early data. We focused on detailed systematic uncertainties and the robustness of reconstruction methods, including multivariate analysis for improved measurement accuracy.

9 Summary • Physicists from ten institutes contributed to Di-Boson Physics CSC note. • First draft is ready. • Analysis tools, such as BDT, are developed and tested in our studies. • With fully simulated MC events (both signal and background) • we show that ATLAS will establish the WW, WZ, Wγ and Zγsignals • with significance better than 5 with the first 100 pb-1data. • ZZ signal will be established with the first 1 fb-1integrated luminosity. • Cross-section measurements, with 5-10 fb-1 integrated luminosity, • the systematic errors will be the dominant uncertaintites. • Charged TGC sensitivity will be significantly improved with 100 pb-1 data • to the Tevatron limits; and with 30 fb-1 data it is orders of magnitude • improvement to LEP/Tevatron. • Neutral TGC sensitivity will be much tight compared to the limit • from LEP and Tevatron for 1 fb-1 data.

Iterative Method • Principle: • At each step i, the combination of i (in N-i) variables leading to the good efficiency for a given rejection is choosen, and the i-1 variables from the step i-1 are kept. • Step 1: energy fraction in the most energetic cell • Step 2: + variable 3 • Step 3: + variable 5 • ...
