\subsection{\boldmath{$B$} Background Studies}
|
| 3 |
|
|
|
| 4 |
|
|
We studied the main sources of $B$ background in an earlier MC dataset
|
| 5 |
|
|
generated for a collision energy of 10~TeV~(Summer'09).
|
| 6 |
|
|
We do not expect that the mixture of the different sources changes
|
| 7 |
|
|
dramatically for a lower collision energy of 7~TeV.
|
| 8 |
|
|
We list sources that contribute at least one event with a preliminary
|
| 9 |
|
|
estimate of their contribution in the present sample.
|
| 10 |
|
|
The final estimate of the contribution for a given integrated luminosity
|
| 11 |
|
|
still needs to be performed on a consistently generated cocktail sample for 7~TeV.
|
| 12 |
|
|
|
| 13 |
|
|
The main categories are:
|
| 14 |
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
| 15 |
|
|
\item $B_d\rightarrow J/ \psi K^*$: the signature of this channel is very similar to
|
| 16 |
|
|
the signal $B_s\rightarrow J/ \psi \phi$ by replacing a kaon with a pion. This is
|
| 17 |
|
|
the most important source of background and the selection has been done to optimize
|
| 18 |
|
|
the discrimination between this channel and our signal.
|
| 19 |
|
|
\item $B_d\rightarrow J/ \psi K_1^0$: one of the feeddown channel for
|
| 20 |
|
|
$B_s\rightarrow J/ \psi \phi$. The $K_1^0$ meson primarily decays into
|
| 21 |
|
|
$\rho $ and a charged $K$.
|
| 22 |
|
|
The misreconstruction occurs when the two charged pions from the $\rho$
|
| 23 |
|
|
meson are, the first, identified as a charged $K$, the latter, lost.
|
| 24 |
|
|
\item $B_d\rightarrow J/ \psi K^0_S$: decay channel with $K_s^0$ decaying
|
| 25 |
|
|
into two charged pions. The misreconstruction occurs where both charged
|
| 26 |
|
|
pions are misidentified as charged kaons.
|
| 27 |
|
|
%\item $B_s\rightarrow J/ \psi K^+K^-$: same signature as our signal but the
|
| 28 |
|
|
%charged kaons do not make the $\phi$ resonance.
|
| 29 |
|
|
\item $B_s\rightarrow J/ \psi \eta$: one of the main background coming from
|
| 30 |
|
|
$B_s$ mesons. The knowledge of only the upper limit for the branching fraction
|
| 31 |
|
|
make us overestimate this background channel.
|
| 32 |
|
|
\item $B^+\rightarrow J/ \psi K^+$: one of the feedup channel for
|
| 33 |
|
|
$B_s\rightarrow J/ \psi \phi$. The charged $K$ is matched to a flying
|
| 34 |
|
|
$K$ from the background to make a $\phi$ meson.
|
| 35 |
|
|
\item Other $B_s$: all the decay of the $B_s$ with daughter a $J/ \psi$ and any
|
| 36 |
|
|
other particle
|
| 37 |
|
|
\item Other $B_d$: all the decay of the $B_d$ with daughter a $J/ \psi$ and
|
| 38 |
|
|
any other particle
|
| 39 |
|
|
\item Other: all the remaining decays from the hadronization of $b\bar{b}$ quarks
|
| 40 |
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
| 41 |
