Double Leptonic Resonance Decay Analysis

This small analysis script aims to reconstruct the mass of the heavy vector/scalar H/Z boson, using a primitive grouping algorithm.

Selection Criteria

Events are required to have at least two leptons and four b-jets.

Grouping Strategy

To seed the grouping, the two leading order b-tagged partons are used to indicate the presence of at least 2-tops. These are considered as the Resonance top pairs, which are emitted from the heavy resonance. If any of these seeded b-tagged partons are closest to an adjacent quark parton (or jet), then the associated object will be marked as a hadronically decaying top quark. Whereas, if the \(\Delta R\) is lowest between a leptonic object, then the b-tagged object will be tagged as originating from a leptonically decaying top quark. This procedure is repeated for all b-tagged objects, until no further clustering is possible. If there are two leptonically decaying tops, then the double neutrino reconstruction algorithm will be invoked to restore the neutrino momenta.

Multiple Neutrino Reconstruction Solutions

In the event multiple solutions are found for the single and double neutrino reconstruction, then the neutrino with the lowest chi2 is chosen, with the others being neglected. For the case no solutions were found, the event is completely rejected.

Figures

Top Quark Reconstruction:

  • Figure 1.a: This figure illustrates the reconstructed top masses which were chosen as part of the selection criteria. The resulting tops were constructed from the two most hardest b-tagged jets/children.

Resonance Reconstruction:

  • Figure 2.a: This figure illustrates the resulting mass distribution of the reconstructed resonance, given that one of the resonance tops decayed leptonically and the other hardonically (Lep-Had).

  • Figure 2.b: This figure illustrates the resulting mass distribution of the reconstructed resonance, given that one of the resonance tops decayed leptonically and the other hardonically (Had-Had).

  • Figure 2.c: This figure illustrates the resulting mass distribution of the reconstructed resonance, given that one of the resonance tops decayed leptonically and the other hardonically (Lep-Lep).

  • Figure 3.[a-c]: A collection of figures which illustrate the mass distribution according to the non/single and dileptonic decay modes, partitioned by signed lepton. This is effectively the projection of along the n-jet axis.
