We separate backgrounds into two categories: one with a genuine \Z boson
|
| 4 |
|
|
from $\Z+jets$ processes, and the other without a genuine \Z boson from
|
| 5 |
|
|
$t\bar{t}$ and $\W+jet$ production. The latter source can be estimated from
|
| 6 |
|
|
the invariant mass of the \Z boson candidate, where the background events
|
| 7 |
|
|
with no genuine \Z boson should not produce a \Z mass peak and should
|
| 8 |
|
|
be relatively smooth.

\subsection{Study of the background without a genuine \Z boson}
|
| 11 |
|
|
We estimate the background due to events without a genuine \Z boson from
|
| 12 |
|
|
fitting a \Z candidate invariant mass to a Gaussian function convoluted
|
| 13 |
|
|
with a Breit-Wigner function. The background is parameterized as a straight
|
| 14 |
|
|
line. An example of a fit for $3e$ category is given in Fig.~\ref{fig:ZFit}.
|
| 15 |
|
|
Both number of signal and background events are calculated for the
|
| 16 |
|
|
invariant mass range between 81 and 101 GeV. In Table~\ref{tab:FitVsMC}
|
| 17 |
|
|
we summarize the number of background events obtained from the fit
|
| 18 |
|
|
and from the Monte Carlo truth information.

All of the instrumental background events with real \Z boson come from
|
| 56 |
|
|
$\Z + jets$ processes where one of the jets is misidentified as a lepton.
|
| 57 |
|
|
The probability to misidentify a jet as a muon is very low in CMS, while that
|
| 58 |
|
|
for the case of electron can be quite high as jets with large electromagnetic
|
| 59 |
|
|
energy fraction can be misidentified as electrons. $\Z+jet$ background
|
| 60 |
|
|
is especially high for \WZ\ signal with $\W\to e\nu$. Thus, it is imperative
|
| 61 |
|
|
to have a reliable estimation of this background from data to avoid
|
| 62 |
|
|
unnecessary systematic uncertainties due to Monte Carlo description of data
|
| 63 |
|
|
in startup conditions. Therefore, in the following we describe the data-driven
|
| 64 |
|
|
estimation of the $\Z+jets$ background for the $\ell^+\ell^- e$
|
| 65 |
|
|
categories. A similar study for the remaining $\ell^+\ell^- \mu$ categories
|
| 66 |
|
|
are in progress. However, as the $\Z+jets$ background is sufficiently small, it is
|
| 67 |
|
|
possible to use Monte Carlo simulation to estimate $\Z+jet$ background with
|
| 68 |
|
|
early data, without incurring significant systematic uncertainty due to data modeling.
|
| 69 |
|
|
|
| 70 |
|
|
\subsubsection{$\Z+jets$ background fraction}
|
| 71 |
|
|
To estimate the fraction of the $\Z+jets$ events in data
|
| 72 |
|
|
we apply a method, commonly referred to as ``matrix'' method.
|
| 73 |
|
|
The idea of a method is to apply ``Loose'' identification criteria
|
| 74 |
|
|
on the third lepton after \Z boson candidate is identified
|
| 75 |
|
|
and count the number of the observed events, $N_{loose}$.
|
| 76 |
|
|
These events contain events with real electrons $N_{e}$
|
| 77 |
|
|
and events with misidentified jets $N_j$:
|
| 78 |
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
| 79 |
|
|
\label{eq:matrixEq1}
|
| 80 |
|
|
N_{loose} = N_e + N_j.
|
| 81 |
|
|
\end{equation}
|
| 82 |
beaucero |
1.4 |
|
| 83 |
ymaravin |
1.10 |
If we are to apply ``Tight'' selection on the third lepton, the number
|
| 84 |
|
|
of the observed events $N_{tight}$ would change as following
|
| 85 |
|
|
\begin{equation}
|
| 86 |
|
|
\label{eq:matrixEq2}
|
| 87 |
|
|
N_{tight} = \epsilon_{tight} N_e + p_{fake} N_j,
|
| 88 |
|
|
\end{equation}
|
| 89 |
|
|
where $\epsilon_{tight}$ and $p_{fake}$ are efficiency of ``Tight''
|
| 90 |
|
|
criteria with respect to ``Loose'' requirements for electrons and
|
| 91 |
|
|
misidentified jets, respectively. As $N_{loose}$ and $N_{tight}$
|
| 92 |
|
|
are directly observable, to extract the number of $Z+jet$ events
|
| 93 |
|
|
in the final sample, one needs to measure $\epsilon_{tight}$
|
| 94 |
|
|
and $p_{fake}$ in control data samples. Two possible ways
|
| 95 |
|
|
to estimate these values are given below.

To estimate the $\epsilon_{tight}$ we apply ``tag-and-probe'' method
|
| 111 |
|
|
using $\Z \to e^+e^-$ from \Z+jets Chowder sample, including \W+jets
|
| 112 |
smorovic |
1.9 |
and $t\bar{t}$ as background. \Z mass distribution is separated for two cases where
|
| 113 |
ymaravin |
1.10 |
electrons from \Z decay either both pass ``Tigh'' selection (``Tight-Tight'' case), or only
|
| 114 |
|
|
one passes the ``Tight'' selection, while the other electron passes ``Loose'' but not ``Tight''
|
| 115 |
|
|
selection (``Tight-Loose'' case). To estimate signal in the selected \Z candidate invariant mass distribution, we fit it to a Gaussisan with bifurcated Breit-Wigner function as a signal
|
| 116 |
|
|
and straight line for a background model. \Z mass distribution and fit are shown in \ref{fig:tagprobe}.

\subsubsection{Determination of $p_{fake}$}
|
| 128 |
|
|
|
| 129 |
|
|
As the events will be most of the time triggered by the leptons coming
|
| 130 |
|
|
from \Z boson, we assume that the third lepton is unbiased toward the
|
| 131 |
|
|
trigger requirement. Ideally, we need a sample of pure multi-jet events
|
| 132 |
|
|
in order to compute the probability for a jet identified as a loose
|
| 133 |
|
|
electron to be also identified as a tight electron. In selecting such
|
| 134 |
|
|
a sample in data, one has to avoid any bias from the trigger
|
| 135 |
|
|
requirements on the ``Loose'' electron candidate.
|
| 136 |
|
|
%Such sample will not
|
| 137 |
|
|
%exist in data as they will be bias by the trigger requirement.

From a sample of multijet events triggered by an ``OR'' of multi-jet
|
| 149 |
|
|
triggers, we select a ``Loose'' electron candidate that are not
|
| 150 |
|
|
matched to any of the trigger objects. We also require the
|
| 151 |
|
|
electron candidate to be separated from the jet that satisfies
|
| 152 |
|
|
the trigger requirement by requiring the candidate to be separated
|
| 153 |
|
|
by at least $\Delta R = 0.2$ from the trigger object.
|
| 154 |
|
|
This allows us to obtain an unbiased sample of multijet events
|
| 155 |
|
|
where an electron candidate is likely to be either a converted
|
| 156 |
|
|
photon or a misidentified jet. The $p_{fake}$ function of $p_T$
|
| 157 |
|
|
and $\eta$ is simply obtained by dividing the $p_T$ and $\eta$
|
| 158 |
|
|
distributions for the electron candidate that satisfied ``Simple Tight''
|
| 159 |
|
|
electron identification requirements to that for electron candidates
|
| 160 |
|
|
that satisfied ``Simple Loose''. Such distributions are given
|
| 161 |
|
|
in Fig.~\ref{fig:qcd_zjet_est}.
