Recoil Studies, July-3-06

Results of recoil calculations, taking into account ISR (July-3-06) Results obtained on the ttopag sample, M=175, fixed HERWIG. Require only 4 tight jets, Nloosejets=0 NoISR means that the highest ISR cluster energy is < 5 GeV, code based on HEPG info by Paul. ISR partons are at eta>2.4. Unclustered energy recalculated by me, using the MET and undoing the correction that was used in making the NTUPLE. This correction subtracted from the unclustered energy the energy of towers adjecent to the 0.4 cone. I put this back in and then subtracted the whole OOC energy, using the jet corrections factors. The "range" shown is the width of the distribution that includes the 68% of the events. The plots are here: Recoil for nloose=0. page 1 left plots: unclustered energy, my calculation and that in the Ntuple right plots: recoil, my calculation (top) range=5.9 and Igor's range=7.4 page 2 scatter plot for Lina's method. Bottom left, lina' recoil as above. Top right: pt(ttbar) from HEPG range=6.3 GeV bottom right: prior, range=6.4 GeV page 3 same as above for Igv's method. Bottom right: prior range=7.1 GeV So, the difference in range bewteen LIna's calcualtions and Igor's is 7.1-6.4= 0.7 GeV (about 10%). Assume that we go with Igor's calculation, because of semplicity. Questions arise: what are the events with large HEPG pt(ttbar), that show up at recoil about 0? We suspect ISR. page 4 No ISR plots. Top right: HEPG pt(ttbar), range =2.7 GeV Bottom left: IGV recoil, range= 5.4 Bottom right: IGV prior, range = 5.0 GeV page 5 No ISR. Lina's recoil (top left) range=4.9 GeV Lina's prior(top right) range=4.7 GeV Bottom left: pt(ttbar)x-vs-max-ISR clus E; right:Igor's recoil-vs-max_ISR clus E Medians are 8-9 GeV for: pt(ttbar), Igor's and Lina's recoil. For the no_ISR case the medians are: pt(ttbar), median= 3.8 GeV Lina and IGV median=~7 GeV

ISR Studies

PLOTS OF JET PT_VS_ETA FOR EVENTS WITH ISR and NOISR JETS Extra jets in events are defined as all the jets after the 4 tight jets cut. Only events with 4 tight jets and no loose jets are considered. In the plots shown below all extra jets (including the ones below 8 GeV) are shown. Run was done on ttopag file, which is 175 GeV with the HERWIG bug fixed. Total number of events that pass the cuts is 35703+7270=42973 events. An event is considered an ISR event if the maximum cluster energy for an ISR parton beyond eta=2.4 is > than 5 GeV. This is a parton that is due to ISR according to the HEPG information. Following two plots show the extra jet distributions for an ISR event PT extra jets-vs eta, ISR events. It has 35703events. PT extra jets-vs eta, no ISR events . It has 7266 events. There are a few jets above 5 GeV at large eta that are not due to ISR. This means that by cutting on jets at large eta we loose some events that are not ISR events).
