Muon Multiplicity Distribution w/ Signal Expectation

Below is the plot of the muon multiplicity distribution in the TCE trigger with the Dark Higgs signal model overlaid.  Note that this distribution is the sum of soft and hard muons.

The number of events with >2 muons predicted and observed are:

N(SM bg)=0.688; N(Dark Higgs)=7.6; N(data)=1

Dimuon Predicted & Observed Using W+jets for Heavy Ratios

Following Scott’s discovery of the discrepancy in the single lepton population between the W+jets & W+heavy samples, I below used the heavy ratios obtained from the W+jets samples to obtained the predicted background and compared to the observed yield.

We have gone from having an observed excess everywhere to having an observed deficit almost everywhere.

First Look At Dark Higgs Monte Carlo

We have successfully generated a test sample of Dark Higgs MC according to the prescription given by Matt Reece.  The decay chain is WH->e nu chi0 chi0, where chi0 is the SUSY LSP.  The chi0’s then decay through the dark sector as chi0->chiD N(aD) where chiD is the dark photon, aD is the dark pseduscalar Higgs, and N can range from 2 to 4.  The dark Higgseses then decay to two electrons or two muons.

The model parameters used in this generation are as follows:

M(H)=120 GeV

M(chi0)=10 GeV

M(chiD)=1 GeV

M(aD)=300 MeV

Br(chi0->chiD aD aD)=0.333

Br(chi0->chiD aD aD aD)=0.333

Br(chi0->chiD aD aD aD aD)=0.333

Br(aD->ee)=0.525

Br(aD->mu mu)=0.466

Br(aD->pi pi)=0.009

There are other SUSY model parameters that are not listed above.

The plots below compare the shape of the electron and muon multiplicity distributions for the Dark Higgs with respect to Standard Model W+heavy jet production.  These plots are normalized to unit area.

Clearly, the lepton multiplicity in this Dark Higgs model is much higher than in SM W+heavy jets.

Dimuon yield with opposite sign data bug fix

The background prediction is still above the data in all regions.

Dimuon yield using only soft CMUP muons.

To check whether the prediction excess in the dimuon results below is due to mismodelling of the response of less pure muon categories, I reran the analysis using only CMUP soft muons.  The results are below:

The background prediction is still high everywhere and is very high in the opposite sign.  The problem does not appear to be related to the soft muon type.

The background prediction is generally higher and is much higher for the opposite sign final states.

Ratio tables used to get the prediction and some representative kinematic plots after the break.

N(l,d0Sig)=93.61575 +- 53.50138; N(l,d0)=111.66913 +- 55.73253

Notice that the error on the fit using the impact parameter significance is always smaller, suggesting that the shapes are better separated in this variable.  All plots are below the break.

Excess in bg prediction for collinear OS soft muons

There appears to be an unphysical feature in the background prediction for opposite sign muons in the CMUP and CMX triggered sample.  Below is the plot of the delta R distribution between pairs of opposite sign soft muons in the 1 fb-1 CMUP triggered sample.

The strange feature is the spike in the background prediction below dR=0.1 for the light/light background.
