Define “pseudo-cross sections” as general framework for Higgs measurements and combination of decay channels.
of possible pseudo-cross sections (in the following “bins”), to be continued …
For 2nd iteration: Reduce number of bins, classify according to importance/feasibility
Note: “ggF”, “VBF”, … describe the kinematics/topology, not necessarily only the SM production mode. (Can think of it as “simplified kinematic model”.)
=0j
=1j, separate bin for pTj>~100 GeV (or pTH>~100 GeV)
=2j, separate bin with VBF cuts
>=3j
main: mjj >~ 300 GeV (and have some rest 120-300 to not lose any region)
more possibilities: mjj, pTj, Deltaetajj
pTj1 = [0, 100, 200, 300, inf]
some jet-veto-like selection (e.g. pTHjj)
+ kinematics measure for non-SM-like continuous shape changes (O(<5) parameters)
mjj 70 - 120 GeV
m(VH) = [0, 300, 600, inf] (more ideal from theory side)
or pT(V) = [0, 100, 200, inf] (matches analysis more closely)
and split everything by =0j, >=1j (at first only for high pT(V) or m(VH))
keep the Z and W separately: Z→ll, Z→nunu, W→lnu
same bins as for VHhad (need to see how well this works with neutrinos)
* inputs: bbbar, gamgam, ZZ, WW, tautau
as for VH, likely fewer bins (more relevant for higher pT(V), m(VH))
2j, 3j, 4, 5j, 6j
+ continuous CP-odd parameter
single inclusive cross section bin
inclusive and then as few kinematic parameters as possible
