Outlook of the work
LHC experiments will start data taking before 2010
Precise tests of Standard Model (SM) and search for new TeV-physics
Focus on first months of CMS data (integrated luminosity 100 pb-1)
Important to calibrate detectors with physics events and “re-discover” SM
1. Calibration studies: use Z ee events to calibrate the CMS e.m. calorimeter
• Absolute energy scale
• Intercalibration of different calorimeter regions
2. Measurement of electron charge misidentification
• Assess and monitor quality of electron reconstruction algorithms
• Crucial ingredient in both SM and beyond-SM physics channels
• Early SM application: measurement of W+/W- cross section ratio
Physics studies developed in the framework of CMS Electroweak Group @CERN

First collisions at √s = 7 TeV before 2010, then centre-of-mass energy will be stepped up
Results shown here are for √s = 10 TeV (intermediate step before 14 TeV)

Precalibration of the ECAL before startup
Barrel 1. Test beam electrons (on 10/36 of Barrel)
• Intercalibration at 0.4% level
2. Cosmic ray flux (on all the Barrel)
• Provides intercalibration of 1-2%
depending on pseudorapidity
3. Light Yield (LY) lab measures (on all the Barrel)
• Provides intercalibration of 4-5%
Endcaps
Expected intercalibration at startup: 7-10%

ECAL calibration with Z ee events Description of the method
In each event “i”, the quadratic mass ratio
folds a weighted average of the
miscalibrations of the regions ”j” of the
calorimeter hit by the Z-electrons
The weights are given by the energy
fraction carried by region “j”
Event after event, for each region “j” a
histogram is filled with the quadratic mass
ratio with its weight
After a number of events, the histogram is
fitted and its peak gives an estimate of the
region miscalibration
The procedure is repeated iteratively

ECAL calibration with Z ee events MonteCarlo validation of the method
The ECAL regions to study can be defined in different ways, according to:
same η-ring
same manifacturer
1. Introduce ad-hoc miscalibration
2. Compare miscalib and 1/recalib constants at convergence
η-rings
Spread around y=x
gives recalibration precision
(improving w/ statistics)

Measurement of electron charge misID Origin of charge misID [2/2]
If the explanation is correct, for wrongly-
reconstructed electrons:
o Transverse Impact Parameter (TIP) is
expected to be larger
o Azimuthal angle φ has worse resolution
and biased determination
![Page 15: [L'angolo del PhD] Alessandro Palma - XXII Ciclo - 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.pl/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cabbad8b42abf328b47a5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Measurement of electron charge misID Description of the method [1/2]
Tag & Probe (TP) method applied to Zee events:
one electron (Tag) must pass a stringent track quality selection in order to ensure
that its charge is correctly reconstructed
the other electron (Probe) usually passes looser selection
Tag-Probe invariant mass in the range [85,95] GeV/c2 to reduce background
the method measures the charge misID rate on the Probe
Probe misID rate =
(# of TP events where Tag and Probe have same charge) / (# of TP events)
A typical selection for Tag (with efficiency ~10%) is:
• ECAL Barrel only
• ET > 20 GeV
• num. of track-hits > 10
• χ2 of track < 1.2
![Page 16: [L'angolo del PhD] Alessandro Palma - XXII Ciclo - 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.pl/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cabbad8b42abf328b47a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
23 Ottobre 2009 Alessandro Palma 16
Measurement of electron charge misID Results: charge misID rate vs reconstructed electron quantities
Probe here is a track-isolated electron with ET>20 GeV
MisID rate behaves as expected
Good agreement with MonteCarlo check on the Probe charge (reco vs gen-level electron)
Integrated misID value (1.52 ±0.09)% Statistical error w/ 100 pb-1 data
![Page 17: [L'angolo del PhD] Alessandro Palma - XXII Ciclo - 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.pl/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cabbad8b42abf328b47a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
23 Ottobre 2009 Alessandro Palma 17
Measurement of electron charge misID Systematic uncertainties [1/2]
• Invariant mass window
Agreement with MonteCarlo truth
checked with various invariant mass
windows
• MisID on the Tag electron
If misID for Tag is >0 (Ptag), the
method measures the sum of Tag
misID + Probe misID
Ptag can be extracted from Tag-Tag
events and subtracted
• Probe definition
Stability of the method checked with
various “Probe” definitions
![Page 18: [L'angolo del PhD] Alessandro Palma - XXII Ciclo - 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.pl/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cabbad8b42abf328b47a5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
23 Ottobre 2009 Alessandro Palma 18
Measurement of electron charge misID Systematic uncertainties [2/2]
• Charge symmetry
No significant differences found in
misID results when requesting positive
and negative Tags
• Background level
Background found not significant
(S/B ~ 100)
Systematics below 0.1% even when
background enhanced by 3 (to account
for uncertainty in QCD yield)
Overall systematics ~0.1%
(comparable with stat. @ 100 pb-1)

Application to W+/W- cross section ratio Positive and negative W bosons at CMS
LHC initial p-p state favours W+
production
o integrated W+/W- ratio is > 1
u-type quarks carry more of the proton
momentum than d-type
o boosted W’s are more often positive
![Page 21: [L'angolo del PhD] Alessandro Palma - XXII Ciclo - 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.pl/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cabbad8b42abf328b47a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
23 Ottobre 2009 Alessandro Palma 21
Application to W+/W- cross section ratio Relevance of the measurement: constraining PDFs
PDF investigation: LHC will be able to explore a new region in (x, Q2) plane
Different PDF models give different W+/W- predictions
Average ratio W+/W- ≈ 1.4
![Page 22: [L'angolo del PhD] Alessandro Palma - XXII Ciclo - 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.pl/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cabbad8b42abf328b47a5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
23 Ottobre 2009 Alessandro Palma 22
Application to W+/W- cross section ratio W eν selection
One electron with ET > 15 GeV at online reconstruction (to filter events live to a
sustainable rate)
One electron with ET > 30 GeV at offline reconstruction
No 2nd electron with ET > 20 GeV (to reduce Z ee background)
Track, ECAL, HCAL isolation and tight eleID requirements (to reduce QCD jets)
Missing Transverse Energy (MET) distribution
of selected events (signal & background):
• gives a flavour of the S/B ratio
• shows how distinctive MET is in W eν
![Page 23: [L'angolo del PhD] Alessandro Palma - XXII Ciclo - 2009](https://reader033.fdocuments.pl/reader033/viewer/2022060115/557cabbad8b42abf328b47a5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

comes from the τ → eνeντ decay.1120
Fig. ?? and ?? show the pseudorapidity and transverse energy distribution of the recon-1121
structed positive/negative electrons coming from the decay of positive/negative W bosons1122
respectively (except for the misID phenomenon that will be covered later on in this chap-1123
ter): the transverse energy distributions are very similar, while the pseudorapidity plot shows1124
how negative electrons populate less than positrons the high-pseudorapidity regions of the1125
detector.1126
The experimental method to measure the integrated W+/W− ratio in the electron channel1127
consists of measuring the integrated e+/e− ratio: once the background has been properly1128
subtracted, in the absence of electron charge misID the e+/e− ratio indeed corresponds to the1129
W+/W− ratio.1130
In a physics analysis perspective, both the integrated and the differential e+/e− ratio1131
(as a function of the electron pseudorapidity or transverse energy) provide a useful tool to1132
constraint the Parton Distribution Functions (PDF), as highlighted in Section ??.1133

Application to W+/W- cross section ratio W+/W- ratio with misID correction
Correcting for electron charge misID
becomes important when:
1. W+/W- ratio becomes large
2. misID rate becomes large
i.e. at high values of electron |η|
N+,-:observed
W+/W-
T+,-:true W+/W- misID rate

events

Conclusions
An iterative method has been elaborated that allows calibration of
regions of the CMS em calorimeter, that with 100 pb-1 data allows:
o Barrel: tuning of (η, ET)-dependent correctiosn to the electron energy
o Endcaps: intercalibration of η-rings at permille level
A “Tag&Probe” method to extract the electron charge misID rate
from data has been developed
o Good stability and agreement with MonteCarlo
o Important in Standard Model analyses and beyond
In measuring W+/W- ratio, inserting misID correction is relevant to
constraint proton PDFs
