  1. DOE REVIEW Wisconsin at ATLAS (2) SUSY and Exotics Yibin Pan For the Wisconsin Task H May 15, 2007

  2. Physics Beyond The Standard Model • Our Wisconsin group has been doing wonderful work on the Standard Model Higgs (see Sau Lan’s presentation). • We are a leader in the studies for the SM Higgs • But that’s not the only physics we are working on at ATLAS • Topics we are working on besides SM Higgs • SUSY searches. • Heavy resonances like Z’ and W’ • Non-SM Higgs or Higgs-like particles • Experience and Efforts • Since LEP time, we have accumulated a lot of experience on the searches for new particles. • In ATLAS Higgs analyses, we cover all important final states with signatures made of jets, leptons, photons, missingET, etc. • We are in a privileged position with our expertise on missingET • We are making extensive efforts to put all these expertise together for new particle searches at ATLAS.

  3. p p ~ c01 ~ ~ ~ q ~ c02 l g Missing energy A sample SUSY decay chain q q l l Jets Leptons Super Symmetry (SUSY) Searches • SUSY events are rich combinations of: • Missing energy. • Leptons • Jets • The keys to SUSY searches: • Make good use of identified objects (missET, e/m, jets) • Using data control samples to estimate backgrounds. • Interpret any excess over background with statistical analyses  Our group is a major player in all these areas.

  4. SUSY signals are not “well defined” Backgrounds need to be estimated from data. An Example SUSY “Discovery” Plot S. Padhi Meff=∑|pTi| + ETmiss for 1 lepton+jets

  5. Inclusive SUSY Searches • Given the vast SUSY parameter space, it is important and beneficial to have a versatile search strategy. • Our group is conducting “inclusive” SUSY searches in which we scan through topology space of missingET plus: • 0-Lepton + Jets* • 1-Lepton + Jets* • 2-Lepton + Jets* • 3-Lepton + Jets* * The “jets” requirement can be 2-jet/3-jet/4-jet/inclusive, etc. • It is important to have accurate estimation of the backgrounds in each case.  Background estimation has to be data driven.

  6. Calibration side Signal side MT<80GeV MT>80GeV Extraction of the W+jets Background: A Fully Data Driven Approach Developed By Wisconsin • The goal: Obtain a reliable estimation of W+jets bkg from data. • Divide the sample into Calibration and Signal Sides • Obtain absolute normalization of W+jets on the calib. side with Z+jets data • Find a data control sample that reproduces W+jets shape • Extrapolate from calib. side to signal side

  7. Formalism For W+jets Extraction • This fully data driven method was first proposed and presented by our group in July 2006. • It is a unique method. * Separately, we also proposed a method for ttbar background estimation

  8. Control Sample Performance Just one of the possible choices Control Sample (ptj1>150, ptj3=0,1 lepton) Signal selection samples: “4jets”:ptj1,ptj2>100, ptj3,ptj4>50, 1 lepton “3jets”:ptj1,ptj2>100, ptj3>50, 1 lepton “inclusive”:S|ptj|>600, ptj3>0, 1 lepton MET>250 GeV w+jets MT (GeV)

  9. A Sample “Progress Report” Slide We Showed In One of the SUSY Working Group Meetings Significance Including bkg. Uncertainties @100pb-1 (Cuts: PTlep>20, S|PTjet|>600 , Ptj3>0, MT>80 GeV) w/o sys. w/ Dwj working area w/ Dwj, Dtt 30% better than previous analyses

  10. 2-lepton SUSY Might Be Seen In The Very Early Days of LHC (Same Sign) (Opposite Sign) 0 and 1-Lepton+Jets(20 pb-1) 100pb-1 SU3 SU1 SU6 2-Lepton+Jets(100pb-1) SU5

  11. Summary of Our SUSY Efforts • Since last fall, our group has given ~30 talks in the ATLAS SUSY working group. • We covered a broad range of topics: • Inclusive (0-Lepton,1-Lepton, 2-Lepton, 3-Lepton) + Jets • Cut optimization • New discriminating variables • W+jets estimation, ttbar estimation. • Comparison of “fast” and “full” simulation • Fake lepton studies • Strategy of defining topology of “Jets” • Statistical methods • … • We are active and productive. • Will be ready when data come

  12. Resonances at TeV Scale (Z’)  Narrow resonances for ee and mm, if they exist, should be seen during early ATLAS runs. (~1000 events for 10 fb-1) M(Z’)=1 TeV Mee (GeV) Mmm (GeV) Z’tt is not as narrow, But still feasible

  13. W’ at ATLAS • Instead of a narrow peak, W’ events have a distinct distribution of transverse mass (MT) • The signal may be visible at 100 pb-1. MW’=4TeV MW’=2TeV Background-only hypothesis S+B hypothesis MW’=2TeV
