The Standard Model (SM) current knowledge in particle physics. theory of strong interactions and unified theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions

Fermions (spin ½, 3/2, 5/2, ..): Leptons & Quarks (Spin ½)

and Bosons (spin 0,1, 2..): Known Force carriers (Spin 1)

These theories are called gauge theories, meaning that they model the forces between fermions by coupling them to bosons, called gauge bosons.

These gauge bosons are force carriers.

Lack of gravitational interactions in the SM

MotivationsMotivationsPhysics• Many models predict new heavy force carrier particles• An extended gauge model predicts a neutral and heavy gauge boson, Z'• The cleanest signal is decay to opposite-signed muons• Current mass limit is > 1030 GeV/c2 (CDF)• LHC is the first opportunity to search for Z' in a high-mass (TeV/c2) range• Z' → µ+ µ- is one of the most promising channel for its discovery (clear

signature, low background)• CMS discovery potential

Detector Implications• Good benchmark channel for muon detector

• Importance of reconstruction of very-high-pT muons

• Detector misalignment

Basic strategy for reconstruction of Basic strategy for reconstruction of chamber positions at B=3.8Tchamber positions at B=3.8T

• Fit DCOPS data at B=0T and reconstruct DCOPS and chamber positions using COCOA (CMS Object-oriented Code for Optical Alignment)

• Check B=0T reco results for one SLM against photogrammetry (PG) in full detail and with great care until we can trust the reconstruction

• Reconstruct chamber positions using DCOPS data and Z-sensor relative shifts at B=3.8T

• Apply lessons learned to reco of other SLMs

Method:

1.Muon Endcap was misaligned systematically with respect to ideal or startup muon geometry.

2.A signal sample (MZ′=1.2TeV/c2 or 2.0TeV/c2) was fully reconstructed. – The sample was reconstructed with a customized global tag

by inputting a modified SQLite file, with a bias for the position(XCMS, YCMS, ZCMS) up to 2 mm or a bias on rotation (φZ

CMS) up to 0.5 mrad of muon endcap stations together or

individual ME stations. [For comparison: Current startup ME disk misalignments are 0.5 - 1.0 mm in (∆x, ∆y, ∆z) & 0.1 mrad in ∆φZ

CMS]

3. The analysis code was re-run over the resulting biased MC data set for each misalignment.

Summary (II & III)Summary (II & III)• Samples for MZ′ = 1.0 TeV, 1.2 TeV, 1.3 TeV, & 2 TeV and Drell-Yan at √s=7 TeV with the ideal,

startup & 50 pb-1 alignment scenarios are generated, analyzed and published in CMS Database Bookkeeping System [hosted by FLTECH T3].

• The transverse momentum (pT) resolutions and dimuon mass resolutions are studied for various scenarios with the aforementioned samples. Typical dimuon mass resolutions are ~3% for ideal (MC), 6% for 50 pb-1 & 10% for startup.

• The muon pT resolution in Endcaps is sensitive to the disk misalignment in position as well as rotation and the resolution is quantified for various misalignment scenarios.

• Simulation results for discovery potential for MZ′SSM= 1.0 TeV & 1.2 TeV with different muon

alignments and integrated luminosities are studied.– Effect of muon (mis)alignment on mass spectra– Expect to observe the Z′ (M = 1.2 TeV) with 5σ significance at √s=7 TeV and integrated luminosity of

250pb-1 with the 50pb-1 alignment or better– Negligible effect of muon endcap (only) misalignments upto 2 mm in translation or 0.5 mrad in

rotation on Z′ signal significance

Analyzed 7 TeV collision data up to run 140399 (July 19, 2010) and the dimuon mass spectra are shown and compared with simulated events of Z → µ+ µ- around Z mass region. The dimuon

mass spectrum is updated. The search is in progress.

• Published a CMS physics analysis note on muon misalignment systematics and expected Z′ signal significance using 7 TeV MC samples

• Analyzed CMS early collision data taken through July 19 (250-300 nb-1) and updated with 2.88 pb-1

• Got approval / endorsement of my Ph.D. thesis by CMS on August 3rd, 2010

A question!A question!• Is there something special about that day?Dr. Oswalt’s question by email on input to fix defense date

Apparently! Yes

Today is
