Radiation in gg->H: comparison

Plots

  • Higss Masses: 120, 200, 400
  • Single Inclusive: H pT, H eta
  • Jets (fast-jet: anti-kT? kT? ... ?)
    • Jet distributions
      • Jet rates
      • Jet pT distributions
      • Jet eta distributions
      • Jet Masses
      • Volcano plot
    • Jet-jet distributions
      • Delta(eta), Delta(R)
      • Jet Rate Ratios
    • Pathological Phase Space Points (Jeppe, Matt, Peter)
      • Jet Masses -- sensitive to resummation
        • eg. Jet mass distribution in direct photon at pT = 100 GeV, 600 GeV, 1.2 TeV
        • eg. Jet mass in dijets (background for boosted W/Z's, tops, Higgs, new physics...)
      • Higgs/Z + >= 2 jets at low Higgs pT
        • eg. Z + >= 2 jets with pT>100 GeV: delta_phi JJ, pT_Z (important early data; bg for missing E for SUSY; sensitive to UE)
      • Hierarchies: One high scale + >= 2 objects at lower scale, for a small and a large scale separation
        • eg. one 400 GeV jet + two 100 GeV jets
        • eg. Heavy Higgs (800 GeV) + two 400 GeV jets + one 100 GeV jet
      • Separately check FSR matching from ISR matching?

Radiation in WBF: comparison

As above, modulo

  • WBF
    • Cuts: 2 Jets with pT > 0.4 in opposite hemisphere and Delta(y) > Delta(y)_min = 4.0
    • Observables:
      • Jet rates vs Delta(y) (for which jet pT?)
      • Ratios of jet rates
      • pT of jets
      • Delta(eta) jof ets
      • Decorrelation
      • Zeppenfeld Plot

Radiation in gg->H: mt finite vs mt->infty

  • (Joey, Jeppe)
  • Higgs + 1 Jet (MCFM) LO + finite mt
  • Higgs + 2 jets (VBF@NLO) LO + finite mt
  • Parton-Level plots
    • pT Higgs, eta
    • pT of the leading jet
    • Decorrelation

Radiation in W+jets

  • W + >= 2 jets
  • <cos(phi)> vs Delta(y) for various kinds of approaches
  • (Steve)
