QCD 22 angular distributions
• The formulas of Combridge for q+qq+q,
q+qbarq+qbar, q+qbarg+g, q+gq+g, g+gg+g, and g+gq+qbar give angular distributions which resemble Rutherford’s formula dd~1/sin4(*/2).
Rutherford’s formula is flat in exp(|2|)

Jet-jet angular distribution and quark substructure
• Quark substructure effective contact color singlet Lagrangian of Eichten, et al is:
• L = ±(g²/2Λ²(LLLL
• Looks just like muon decay. Affects only the u and d quarks. Color singlet means that some diagrams have no interference term.
• g²/4 = 1; strength of the interaction ~(ŝ/²)²• This measurement is not sensitive to the interference
term.

Effect of quark substructure
• The quark substructure Lagrangian is basically isotropic, so the angular distribution near *=, or is most sensitive to .
• The ET distribution also depends on , but is more sensitive to the jet energy scale than the angular distribution in a given mass bin.
treatment of the data
• Divide the data into four bins in jet-jet invariant mass, using the two highest ET
jets in the event. Do not look for third jets.
• Each bin is 100 GeV wide, starting at 550-650 GeV, and ending at 850-950 GeV.
Monte Carlo predicts the expected QCD distributions, and the effects of quark substructure
• The MC program used is Pythia. • Pythia generates the QCD event at the
‘hadron level’, without the CDF detector simulation, via a multistep process involving ISR, 22,FSR, and parton fragmentation.
• Hadron level events are then subject to the full CDF detector simulation, and analyzed with the same code as data.

• A ratio method was used to measure the effect of on the angular distribution in a given mass bin.
• Define R=(1<<10)/(15<<25).• Using Pythia for the dependence, plot R()/R()
versus (mass)4, where R() means no quark substructure.

Systematics
• There are many adjustable parameters in the comparison of data to Monte Carlo simulation.
• Is it possible to adjust the Monte Carlo to mask the presence of new physics in the data?
• The answer is yes. The study of systematics should give the degree of flexibility inherent in the comparison.
To obtain a limit we must understand the systematics
• Sensitivity to the choice of the parton distribution functions. We are looking at high mass dijets, searching for quark substructure, so the most important pdf’s are proton valence valence.
• The first study compared CTEQ and MRST.
MRST compared to CTEQ
MRST compared to CTEQ
Systematics of the pdf’s
• MRSTLO ‘high s’ and CTEQ5L predict the same angular distributions with no quark substructure.
• A new method for evaluating uncertainties from the pdf’s, using ‘vectors’ which represent uncertainties coming from the input experimental data.
• Preliminary studies of the vectors in CTEQ6 indicate small effects on the ratios.
Systematic studies continued
• Choice of Q2. Here the angular distributions differ. Vary the mix of ŝ and pT
2 by 1.
• The jet energy scale. Use the utility to vary the jet energy corrections by ±1. The high mass jet-jet cross section depends on the jet energy corrections.
Procedure
• Calculate R for three MC samples: best fit, +1 and -1, varying the choice of Q2.
• Do a simple average <R>=(R1+R2+R3)/3
• Calculate R for three data samples:level7 jetEcorrections, +1 and -1.
• Again do a simple average <Rd>=(R1d+R2d+R3d)/3
Systematic uncertainties
• The systematics are included in the uncertainty in each ratio by summing the deviations from the mean: dR² = i=1,3(Ri-<R>)²/2 for the MC, and similarly for dR²d.
• Then the final ratios Rd/R are calculated for each mass bin, and plotted vs (mass)4
Summary
• The ratio R=(110)/(1525) shows a linear dependence vs x=(mass)4 , with a slope which increases with increasing .
• The data have a slope which is slightly negative: dR/dx = -0.160.08. This result is unphysical.
• To set a limit, we use the Feldman Cousins method (PRD 57,3873 (1998)).
Feldman Cousins method
• The method is based on physically allowed results versus experimental results, which can be unphysical.
• The uncertainties must be known, but not the result.
• For a set of allowed results, generate all possible outcomes, using the uncertainties.
Feldman-Cousins plot
Final limits
• By integration, 95% and 68% confidence contours can be extracted from this plot.
Feldman Cousins limit contours
Limits from the plot
• From the intersection of the measured slope with the confidence level contours, we conclude:
• Slope<0.24 95% confidence
• Slope<0.06 68% confidence
• Expected slope limit for zero slope result (based on these experimental uncertainties) slope<0.35
Sensitivity of the slope to the quark substructure parameter
Limit is dominated by systematic uncertaities
Conclusions
• To interpret these slopes as lower limits on the quark substructure parameter , we must rely on Pythia Monte Carlo simulation, which gives the sensitivity of the slope of the angular distribution ratio to .
• 95% confidence >2.4 TeV• 68% confidence >3.5 TeV• 95% confidence expected result >2.2 TeV
Дополнительный материал
Requested material
• Three topics are covered. Not part of the blessing.
• 1. Extra jetEnergy uncertainty in the plug
• 2. Hadron level corrections from Pythia
• 3. Trigger threshold at 100 GeV in the Monte Carlo
Check of the effect of the extra plug uncertainties
• The normal level7 jetEcorrections package was run on 5M data jet100 events
• The supplied uncertainty formula was applied only to those jets (1.1<|det|<2.1)
• Central jets were not affected.
Additional jet energy uncertainties
Conclusion of the plug uncertainty exercise
• Hardly any visible effect.

distributions are

Monte Carlo trigger
• The conclusion here is that, while the distribution of the Monte Carlo in the 550-650 GeV mass bin does not exactly match the data, and the resulting 2 is bad, the discrepancy is not due to the trigger turn on.
• There are small discrepancies in all of the plots, and each bin in has over 1000 events.
CTEQ6 and the vectors
• Only CTEQ6 has the vectors. Earlier versions, like the default CTEQ5L used here, do not.
• There are 40 vectors, in pairs up and down. They are linearly independent
• It is not obvious which vectors affect specific pdf’s – like up quarks.
CTEQ6 and the vectors cont’d
• Preliminary studies with the full Pythia Monte Carlo, but without the CDF detector simulation, show that the vector effect is small.
• Conclusion: The lack of knowledge of the pdf’s is not an important contributor to the systematic uncertainty.
This is the analysis for which blessing is requested
• The following slides were requested after the June 12 presentation.
• Correction of the data to the hadron level is necessary to compare to NLOJet++, a subject which we prefer to postpone at the present time. The analysis for preblessing compares data as taken with fully simulated Monte Carlo.
Further studies with Nlojet++
• NLO QCD C++ code written by Zoltan Nagy (arXiv:hep-ph/0110315)
• Downloadable from CERN• Born+nlo calculations with 5E9 events• Three partons in the final state, pairs
clustered in cone 0.7 merged to one ‘jet’.• Hard scale 0=ETave and 0=mjj match

Nlojet++ angular distributions for two choices of hard scale
Nlojet++ compared to Pythia
• Slightly different pdf’s:CTEQ5L for Pythia and CTEQ6 for Nlojet++
• The dependence on the hard scale is much reduced in Nlojet++, where ETave and mjj have almost the same shapes.
• The data follow 0=pT (Pythia), but either choice for 0 works with Nlojet++
• This justifies the procedure used earlier,where the variation in Q2 was limited in systematics
Nlojet++ fits to the data-about 50-50 ETave and mjj
For Nlojet++ define R=(1->10)/(10->20)

Conclusions
• Nlojet++ confirms the limited variation of Q2 in Pythia in systematics studies.
• Jet energy corrections systematics need another look.
• Hadron level jet100 data are consistent with nlo QCD predictions.
• Pythia must be used to extract , and the limit for (u,d,s) quarks will be near 3 TeV.

Modifications to the default QCD monte carlo

MC cut on CM energy
• The requirement ckin(1)=400 was made to save MC disk space and execution time.
• The QCD default runs with ckin(3)=200 give similar mass distributions, but distort the angular distributions, so are not suitable.
• An overall factor of five is gained in total number of events vs events at high mass.
