NEW! Link to the Rivet analysis file and plots (last updated 01-03-2016):cms_2015_i1372730_v2.tar

• There are three plugins:
  • CMS_2015_I1372730_Z: Z only plots
  • CMS_2015_I1372730_G: gamma only plots
  • CMS_2015_I1372730: all plots including ratios
• the plugin with the ratio plots can only be run on a sample with both Z and gamma events with correct relative cross-section
• otherwise to get the ratio plots one should run the first two plugins and then make the ratio (will try to provide a script, but just send the plots to vitaliano.ciulli@cern.ch and I will do it)

Selection cuts for the ratio plots:

• For $Z/\gamma^{*}$ plus jets events we select:
  • two same flavour opposite sign leptons with $p_{T} > 20$ GeV and $|\eta| < 2.4$ and $71 < M_{\ell\ell} < 111 $ GeV and $p_{T}^{\ell\ell} > 100$ GeV
  • leptons are “dressed” with all photons in a cone of radius $\Delta R = 0.1$
  • at least one jet, jet selection $p_{T} > 30$ GeV and $|\eta| < 2.4$, we remove jets within a radius of $\Delta R < 0.5$ with respect to the axes of each lepton
  • for the ratio plots a cut on Z rapidity |y|<1.4 is also applied

• For $\gamma$ plus jets events we select:
  • at least a prompt photon with $p_{T} > 100$ GeV and $|\eta| < 1.4$ (in case there is more than one photon the leading one satisfying all cuts is used)
  • the photon must be isolated, i.e. the scalar sum of the $p_T$ of all stable particle in a cone of radius $\Delta R = 0.4$ is less then 5 GeV
  • at least one jet, jet selection $p_{T} > 30$ GeV and $|\eta| < 2.4$ , we remove jets within a radius of $\Delta R < 0.5$ with respect to the axis of the photon

A Rivet analysis is being prepared to provide direct comparison with data at full particle level

Plots for the ratio:

• Z boson differential transverse momentum cross-section in an inclusive $Z/\gamma^{*}+\mathrm{jets}$
• $\gamma$ differential transverse momentum cross-section in an inclusive $\gamma+\mathrm{jets}$

in the following kinematic ranges:

• $N_{jets} \geq1$
• $N_{jets} \geq2$
• $N_{jets} \geq3$
• $H_{T} > 300$ GeV, $N_{\mathrm{jets}}\geq 1$

Points open for discussion/inputs:

• are scale uncertainties correlated among the two processes?
• is someone interested in having a Rivet routine which runs at parton level?

Comparison of LO + approx EWK (M. Chiesa et al) to CMS Z/gamma ratio:

• V +>= 1 jet
• V +>= 2 jet
• V +>= 3 jet

as defined in the relevant papers:

Alternative lljj analysis: same as above with M_ll cut replaced by the following VBF cuts: M_jj > 600 GeV; abs(y_j1-y_j2) < 4.5; y_j1 * y_j2 < 0; min(y_j1,y_j2) < y_l < max(y_j1,y_j2).
