Searches using displaced leptons or jets J. Antonelli with input - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Searches using displaced leptons or jets J. Antonelli with input from M. Flowerdew, P. Pais, R. Rosten, H. Russell 1

I’ve spoken with authors from ~all of the relevant searches, here are some general musings resulting from those conversations • These searches are new ! ~6 of the 7 searches in this talk have only been done once • Signature-driven searches have a lot more design choices to make • You don’t know what your signal is and you don’t know what your backgrounds are! • Arguably a waste of resources to target a single model • Potential overlap with existing searches is tougher to evaluate • Lots of trial and error - this can lead to some “artifacts” that limit sensitivity • Getting these analyses approved by the collaboration is a struggle 
 - Most reviewers don’t have a good frame of reference • These searches are great at finding software bugs in the “standard” code subset of the choices we all had to make: -use half of the event or all of it? -use standard algorithms (more robust) or homemade ones (more efficient)? -level of background to target? -simple event selection (more inclusive) or complex (less background)? -what lifetimes to target? - huge implications on search strategy!

Pros and cons of displaced lepton and jets compared to other LL signatures Pros: Cons: 1. The SM has lots of leptons and jets 1. The SM has lots of leptons and jets -they are well understood objects -higher backgrounds than other displaced signatures 2. There exist accepted reconstruction 2. There exist accepted reconstruction and ID algorithms and ID algorithms -easy path to reducing backgrounds -they probably won’t work for your signal 3. Leptons are good for triggering 3. Jets are hard to trigger on -dimuon triggers below 20 GeV -dijet triggers around 500 GeV in 2015 menu in 2015 menu 4. Can access lower signal lifetimes -compared to HSCP, Disappearing track, i.e. Simone’s “direct searches” J. Antonelli UMass Workshop, Nov 13 3

Displaced ee/ μμ • Measured displaced tracking efficiency by using cosmics • Background estimation leveraged symmetry in background • Presented limits with acceptance factored out planned for run 2: remove vertex constraint, join forces with Run 1 displaced e μ team, expand to more final states J. Antonelli UMass Workshop, Nov 13 6

Displaced ee/e μ / μμ /l+DV • Additional level of tracking needed • Couldn’t run on entire triggered dataset • No isolation requirement on leptons! • Electron systematics were a sticking point • No good source of displaced leptons • Used control sample of K S0 decays • Need to slowly unblind • Efficiency depends on a lot of parameters • No efficiency model so far (studies ongoing) planned for run 2: improvements in seeding of displaced track reconstruction 4 mm displacement on vertex can maybe be relaxed J.

Displaced dijets in tracker • H T trigger reduced sensitivity to SM Higgs portal • Validated vertex reconstruction with K S sample • Used complex multivariate discriminants 
 instead of material veto planned for Run 2: jet-tagging algorithms -maximize lifetime coverage -remove need for dijet vertexing -a lot of interest! -N.B. non “refresh” analyses will take longer -1 17 pb (8 TeV) candidates / 0.6 cm CMS 4 10 Data Simulation 3 10 + = 0 s K 2 10 Data / Sim 1.1 1 0.9 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 0 arxiv:1503.05923 K transverse decay length [cm] s J.

Displaced jets in ID/MS • Used same displaced re-tracking dataset as displaced DV search • Needed to write MS tracklet reconstruction algorithm • Different trigger strategies depending on signal model • Used zero-bias data event overlaid on background instead of simulated pileup • Recasting is very model dependent, found two legs 
 were not independent possibilities for run 2: combine with HCAL jets and and DV search, use long-lived hadron gun to estimate efficiency, displaced muons will be in the standard reco! J. Antonelli UMass Workshop, Nov 13 10

Displaced jets in HCAL • Considered both trackless jet (ECAL or HCAL) and low-EMF jet (HCAL) • Found search feasibility was much better with the extra background rejection from an H/E cut • Multiple jets will still create one HCAL cluster! • Timing cut to reduce cosmic background may be tighter than needed • Some efficiency loss for high mass signals planning for run 2: pileup removal will be key because of track isolation in trigger, combine with ID/MS analysis to have additional categories (ID/HCAL, MS/HCAL, etc.) J. Antonelli UMass Workshop, Nov 13 11

Run 2 outlook / conclusion We’ve been through a lot of trial and error! Some Run 1 searches ended up being somewhat over-engineered (hindsight is 20/20) In Run 2, results should come significantly faster Some limitations are unavoidable from detector technology, but much improvement is being made on the software side Now that the many displaced objects have been validated, make way for combinations! (ATLAS has a head-start in this respect) J. Antonelli UMass Workshop, Nov 13 12
