Motivation• Cross section for WW+WZ+ZZ in the
+ jets final state recently measured at CDF
- Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 091803 (2009)
• No one has measured WZ+ZZ with jets
• Use b-tagging to reduce WW contribution
- W doesnʼt go to 2 bʼs like Z
- WZ+ZZ → + 2 h.f. jets enhanced
• Associated Higgs production (WH, ZH) is important for low mass Higgs searches at the Tevatron
- Observation of WZ+ZZ will be a major milestone

b-tagger• B hadrons often travel a measurable
distance before decaying• Typical b-taggers look for tracks forming a
secondary vertex- Use decay length in transverse plane (L2D)- Displaced tracks often have large impact
parameter (d0)
• We developed a new b-tagger to further exploit individual track information
8
How Do We Identify b-quarks?
! b quarks hadronize into B mesons and baryons! Typical lifetime is O(10^-12 ps)
" B hadron will travel a couple of millimeters before decaying, enough that its decay products (tracks) can be reconstructed into a secondary vertex
! Also: invariant mass of B-tracks; # of tracks in a jet
• Track “bness”: distinguish daughter tracks of Bʼs from non-daughters
• Jet bness: Combine track bness with jet variables
Two levelneural network:
Tune a cut on jet bness to achieve desired b tagging efficiency/mistag rate
b-tagger: Track bness inputsInputs to the track bness NN:- Signed impact parameter (d0), z position,
and their significances (value/uncertainty)- Track momentum in transverse plane (pt)- Track momentum transverse to jet axis (pperp)- Rapidity with respect to the jet axis (Y)
9
Track Bness Separation
! Putting these variables into a NN, we can separate tracks from B's vs. tracks not from B's – and then feed the output discriminator into a B-jet discriminator

Figure 6: Jet bness distribution from our electroweak MC, for jets matched to b quarks (red)
vs. jets not matched to b quarks (black)
as described in [3]. We use Joint Physics scale factors to account for the trigger efficiency
and lepton ID efficiency in MC. Because we see an additional disagreement in the number of
muon events between data and MC, we calculate the ratio of data and MC events in a simple
Z + 0 jet selection for each lepton category pair, and apply this additional scale factor to
the Z + 1 jet samples (see Table 3). The observed agreement after this correction is good.
We apply the same scale factor to the MC in the tt selection, using the CMUP-CMUP scale
factor for events with a CMUP muon, and the CMX-CMX scale factor for events with a
CMX muon.
4.2.2 Z + 1 jet Selection and the Mistag Rate
To investigate the behavior of our b tagger on non-b jets, we look for events in which one
jet is reconstructed along with a Z boson. We follow a similar analysis as was described
in [3]: we search for events with two reconstructed, opposite-sign leptons (from the lepton
categories listed in Table 3), whose reconstructed dilepton mass is consistent with the Z
boson mass. Cuts that we apply are described in Table 4. Figure 7 shows the reconstructed
dilepton mass in data and MC, and Table 5 the number of events in data and MC. After
including the additional scale factors described above, we see very good agreement between
data and MC.
Figure 8 shows the jet bness distribution for jets in this region. Here, the distributions’
shapes roughly match each other, but do not agree particularly well in the ranges [−0.8,−0.5]

Validity / Uncertainty of b-tagger
• Neural networks are trained on Monte Carlo samples
• How do they actually perform in data?
• 2 things you need to know to characterize a b-tagger:
• What fraction of b-jets does it correctly tag? “efficiency” or “tag rate”
• What fraction of non-b jets does it incorrectly tag? “mistag rate”
• Also need way to quantify differences between data and MC to take as systematic uncertainty on b-tagger
• Compare data and MC jets in two control regions similar to our data sample:
• Z+1 jet: Mostly non-b jets; obtain mistag rate
• t-tbar: Mostly b-jets; obtain tag rate
11
Mistag rate (Z + 1 jet)• Typical Z→leptons selection,
• only one jet with ET > 20 GeV
• Data and MC agreement good
• Still, large number of bʼs
• Subtract their contribution when calculating the mistag rate in data
• For a given bness cut in data, slide the bness cut in MC to match the mistag rate in data
• Similarly use the uncertainties for the b-tagger systematic uncertainty

Basic event selection• 2 or more central jets with ET > 20 GeV
- Sort jets by bness (instead of ET)
- Get dijet mass from 2 highest bness jets
• Jet 1 bness > 0.85, Jet 2 bness > 0.0
- Call this the “two-tag” channel
- Also exploit a “no-tag” channel for events which fail this cut
• Missing ET > 50 GeV
• 40 GeV < dijet mass < 160 GeV

Multi-jet background
• Before selection the diboson signal is swamped by backgrounds– Rejecting QCD multijet events is a major
challenge
• Generic jet production via QCD• QCD ~9 orders above WW+WZ+ZZ
• Rare fluctuations × huge rate = large background
• Difficult to model with Monte Carlo• Use a data-driven method instead
1624
Multi-jet background
1) Δφ(met, closest jet) > 0.4
2) MET-significance > 4• Uses the jet energy uncertainties to estimate how likely the MET is due to mis-
measurement (low significance) or neutrinos (high significance)
3) Δφ(calorimeter MET, tracker MET)• Two nearly independent ways to detect neutrinos
• MET: energy imbalance in calorimeter (use towers)• Track MET (trkMET): momentum imbalance in tracker (use tracks)
• Small for MET from neutrinos, large for MET from mis-measured jets (MJB)

• Also allow backgrounds to vary in the fit
• Simultaneous fit in 2 channels:

8.2 Systematic Uncertainties
Besides the nuisance parameters in the fit associated with the rate uncertainties as describedabove, there are parameters for EWK shape, QCD shape, JES, and b-tagging efficiency un-certainties. The shape uncertainties are handled by supplying 2 more templates, correspond-ing to upward or downward fluctuations of the nuisance parameter. Template morphing ishandled by mclimit csm.C, and we allow extrapolation beyond the supplied shapes.
• EWK shape: The central value template used is the average of the EWK MC and theγ+jets template from Section 7, with those templates used as the shape uncertainties.

Note that in the case of the WZ/ZZ → bb + E/T measurement, the signal template isbroken in up into events with 2 b’s matched to jets (signal) and the rest (background). Thesetemplates are shown in Fig. 32.

• Fit in both channels simultaneously:- Signal (WZ+ZZ)
- WW
- Single top + t-tbar
• Allow to float separately in the two channels:
- EWK (W,Z+jets): donʼt trust the modeling of the b-quark content
- MJB: donʼt know the b-quark content
• Constrain the backgrounds based on their cross sections, but
• Let EWK float in the fit unconstrained (donʼt trust the overall normalization)
• Let signal float unconstrained; weʼre measuring it!

• To optimize the analysis, need an a priori estimate of the measurementʼs sensitivity
• Run many pseudo-experiments and calculatefor pseudo-data generated

EWK uncertainty via photon+jets
31
We use photon+jets data to assess the systematic uncertainty on our W/Z+jets background from Monte-Carlo.Idea is that jet kinematics in photon+jets events should be similar to jet kinematics in events with other gauge bosons (W,Z)
Z, gamma have same interactions; W slightly different
Some cuts modified: MET > 50 GeV → MET+photon > 50 GeV
As photon+jets and W/Z+jets aren't identical (photon is massless), we need a correction
Weight photon+jets data by the ratio of the dijet mass distribution of our W/Z+jets MC to photon+jets MC
This should compensate for the physical differences, in a MC independent fashion
MC uncertainties- PDFs, radiation, etc. - should cancel out in the ratio

Table 8: Expected contribution of different processes, for 5.5 fb−1.
The underlying assumption of how QCD enters the analysis is that either jets are mis-
measured, or a leading charged track, π0 or a γ is lost in an uninstrumented region of the
detector. We expect the dominant effect to be jet mismeasurement. Most of the QCD multi-
jet background is suppressed by the E/T -significance and min(∆φ) cuts described in detail in
Section C. To estimate the remaining QCD contribution, we construct a new variable, P/T , to
compliment the traditional calorimeter based E/T . The P/T is defined as the negative vector
sum of tracks with pT >0.3 GeV/c. Tracks used in calculation of P/T have to pass minimal
quality requirements (χ2COT
<6) and be within ±4σzvx window from the primary vertex. The
σzvx depends on a type of the tracking algorithm which was used to reconstruct a track. For
example, σzvx=1.2 cm for COT-only tracks and σzvx=0.6 cm for outside-in tracks (majority
of tracks) which use both COT and Silicon hits.
When comparing the azimuth angle (φ) for E/T and P/T , alignment is expected between
the two quantities in the case of true E/T (e.g., for diboson signal and EWK backgrounds).
We will call the difference between these two angles as ∆φMET . The expected shape (slowly
falling spectrum) of the ∆φMET distribution for the QCD background is illustrated at Fig. 17.

We optimize our selection, in particular for the jet

a result with significance of 2σ. The optimization points
to a broad region where the sensitivity is maximized and
we choose our bness thresholds in that region.

TABLE I. Fit number of events from the 2-channel fit forWZ/ZZ, with all systematics applied.
Fig. 2 shows the results of the fit, and Tab. I. shows
the number of fitted events.
To translate the result of our fit to the data to bounds
or limits on the true cross section of WZ/ZZ produc-
tion, we construct modified Feldman-Cousins bands by
analyzing the distribution of fitted (i.e., measured) cross
sections in pseudo-experiments generated with a variety
of scale factors on the input signal cross section [18].
When running pseudo-experiments, we consider the ef-
fect of additional systematic uncertainties that affect ouracceptance. These include, in order of increasing signif-
icance: jet energy resolution, E/T modeling, initial and
final state radiation, parton distribution function, and
luminosity and trigger efficiency uncertainties.
Based on a Monte Carlo calculation, the acceptance
times efficiency for the WZ and ZZ production is 4.1%,
and 4.6%, respectively. In the calculation of the com-
bined diboson cross section, we assume that each signal
process contributes proportionally to its predicted SM
cross section: 3.6 pb for WZ and 1.5 pb for ZZ obtained
using the mcfm v5.4 program [17] with CTEQ6.1M
PDFs [11]. Our measured result, using the 1 σ bands
from the modified Feldman-Cousins analysis, is σ(pp →WZ,ZZ) = 5.0+3.6
−2.5 pb. We set a limit on σWW,ZZ at
13 pb(2.5× σSM ) with 95% CL.

signal events, the first bin (at a measured scale factor of 0) may contain a very large numberof events; however, we do not treat it differently than any other bin, and if it is included inthe range, its entire contents contribute towards the calculation of coverage. This method isa slight variation of the method proposed in [10], due to the strict boundary on the measuredscale factors (as well as the input scale factors), but retains the properties that it avoids flip-flopping, and aims for coverage as close as possible to (but always as much as) the statedvalue.
Figure 41 shows the results of our Feldman-Cousins analysis in the double channel fit.Our measured result, using the 1σ bands from the Feldman-Cousins plot, is then σmeasured =0.99+0.7
−0.5 × σSM . We set a limit on σmeasured at about 2.5× σSM with 95% CL. Using
σSM = σWZ + σZZ = 5.08 pb
we then calculateσmeasured = 5.0+3.6
−2.5 pb,
with a 95% CL limit σ < 13 pb.Similarly, Figure 42 shows the results of our Feldman-Cousins analysis in the 2-tag only
channel fit. Our measured result is 0.12 × σSM , which corresponds to a limit of about2.4 × σSM . However, here our signal is composed of only those events in which a Z bosondecays to a bb pair, thus
σSM = σWZ × Br(Z → bb) + σZZ × 2× Br(Z → bb) = 0.975 pb
where we assume the branching ratio of Z → bb is 15.1% [11]. Thus, our measured crosssection is
σmeasured = 0.12 pb,
with a 95% CL limit σ < 2.3 pb.

8.2 Systematic Uncertainties
Besides the nuisance parameters in the fit associated with the rate uncertainties as describedabove, there are parameters for EWK shape, QCD shape, JES, and b-tagging efficiency un-certainties. The shape uncertainties are handled by supplying 2 more templates, correspond-ing to upward or downward fluctuations of the nuisance parameter. Template morphing ishandled by mclimit csm.C, and we allow extrapolation beyond the supplied shapes.
• EWK shape: The central value template used is the average of the EWK MC and theγ+jets template from Section 7, with those templates used as the shape uncertainties.

Conclusions
43
We measured the cross section for WZ+ZZ in the MET plus 2 b-jets enhanced channel
The key: identify b-jets to reduce WW and measure just WZ+ZZ
Developed a custom b-tagger
Using 5.2 fb-1 of data,
WZ+ZZ
• Measured a cross section of , consistent with the SM (5.1 pb)
• Set a limit of σ < 13 pb (2.5 σSM) at 95% CL
WZ+ZZ→MET+bb
• Set a limit of σ < 2.3 pb (2.4 σSM) at 95% CL
Final states for WZ+ZZ the same as WH+ZH in MET + jets channel
Our techniques can be used in a future Higgs search
σ = 5.0+3.6−2.5 pb
