Jets at TevatronJets at Tevatron

Experimental Jets: The study of “real” jets requires a “jet algorithm” and the different algorithms correspond to different observables and give different results!

“Theory Jets”

Next-to-leading order parton level calculation

0, 1, 2, or 3 partons!

“Tevatron Jets”

Experimental Jets: The study of “real” jets requires a good understanding of the calorimeter response!

Experimental Jets: To compare with NLO parton level (and measure structure functions) requires a good understanding of the “underlying event”!

Jet CorrectionsJet CorrectionsCalorimeter Jets:

We measure “jets” at the “hadron level” in the calorimeter. We certainly want to correct the “jets” for the detector resolution and

effieciency. Also, we must correct the “jets” for “pile-up”. Must correct what we measure back to the true “particle level” jets!

Particle Level Jets: Do we want to make further model dependent corrections? Do we want to try and subtract the “underlying event” from the

“particle level” jets. This cannot really be done, but if you trust the Monte-Carlo

models modeling of the “underlying event” you can try and do it by using the Monte-Carlo models (use PYTHIA Tune A).

Parton Level Jets: Do we want to use our data to try and extrapolate back to the parton

level? This also cannot really be done, but again if you trust the Monte-

Carlo models you can try and do it by using the Monte-Carlo models.

The “underlying event” consists of hard initial & final-state radiation

plus the “beam-beam remnants” and possible multiple parton interactions.

The ZThe Z→→ Cross Section (CDF) Cross Section (CDF)Signalcone

Isolationcone

Taus are difficult to reconstruct at hadron colliders• Exploit event topology to suppress backgrounds (QCD & W+jet).

• Measurement of cross section important for Higgs and SUSY analyses.

CDF strategy of hadronic τ reconstruction: • Study charged tracks define signal and isolation cone (isolation = require no

tracks in isolation cone).

• Use hadronic calorimeter clusters (to suppress electron background).

• π0 detected by the CES detector and required to be in the signal cone.

CES: resolution 2-3mm, proportional strip/wire drift chamber at 6X0 of

EM calorimeter.

Channel for Z→ττ: electron + isolated track• One decays to an electron: τ→e+X (ET(e) > 10 GeV) .

• One decays to hadrons: τ → h+X (pT > 15GeV/c).

Remove Drell-Yan e+e- and apply event topology cuts for non-Z background.

W Production Charge AsymmetryW Production Charge Asymmetry Since the longitudinal momentum of the neutrino,

pL(), is not known the W rapidity cannot be reconstructed.

So previously one looked at the the electron charge asymmetry.

The V-A structure of the W+ (W-) decay favors a backward e+ (forward e-) which “dilutes” the W charge asymmetry!

New CDF measurement performed in W→e channel.

pL() is determined by constraining MW = 80.4 GeV leaving two possible yW solutions. Each solution receives a probability weight according to the V-A decay structure and the W cross-section, (yW).

The process is iterated since (yW) depends on the asymmetry.
