Simplified Template Cross Sections (STXS) and EFT constraints

People interested (add your name): Francesco Riva, Ken Mimasu, Fabio Maltoni, Benjamin Fuks, Kristin Lohwasser, Jorge de Blas, Pasquale Musella, Alexandra Carvalho, Caterina Vernieri, Benjamin Freund, Adam Falkowski

Perform a case study of the constraining power on EFT Wilson coefficients from Higgs data through STXS. Compare the sensitivity of performing a fit to the Wilson coefficients of interest via the STXS with a direct fit from LHC data and quantify any loss of information incurred.

Processes of interest:

  • Associated production (VH→bb)
  • Vector Boson Fusion (VBF→gamma gamma, tau tau, …)

Workflow

{{:2017:groups:higgs:stxeftworkflow.png?400|

Tasks

  1. Generate signal and background processes (Ken, Jorge)
  2. Modify madanalysis to smear jets and output csv file (Benjamin)
  3. Define selection cuts (Caterina and Kristin)
  4. Develop RooFit-based stat analysis (Kristin)
  5. Prepare skeleton for BDT training (Pasquale)

Samples to generate

  • Baseline:
    • 500k events / process
    • 4-5 EFT points (start with 1-2)
  • VH(bb): SM Z(ll)H, EFT Z(ll)H, SM Z(ll)bb (100<mbb<150)
  • VBF(tau tau): SM VBF, EFT VBF, SM Z(tau tau)
  • EFT operators to probe: OHW (SILH), more?
