• Overview• QCD multijets• W+N jets• Selection efficiencies
• Trigger• b-tagging• Summary

• Estimate background rates:• QCD multijets. • Electroweak W+N jet production.• Top pair production in hadronic and dileptonic channels.
• Estimate εtt• Using Monte Carlo samples.• Include trigger efficiencies.• Consider b-tagging performance.
• Luminosity: • Relative luminosity measured by LUCID.• Absolute calibration from LHC machine parameters.• Relative uncertainty δL~30% expected during initial data-taking.• https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/pub/Atlas/AtlasTechnicalPaper/Main_jinst_submission.pdf

W+N Jets Background• Most dangerous background to analysis.• Use MC samples to determine selection efficiency εW+Njets.• Nexpected = σW+Njets ∫L dt.
• Theoretical uncertainty on σW+Njets is large.• Uncertainty on background rate will be large.• Effective cuts are therefore needed to reduce background rate.

Trigger• e25i and mu20• Plots contain
• ttbar events (sample 5200)• Analysis cuts (see backup slides)• pT(l)>10 GeV
• L1 Trigger, Event Filter (EF)
• Efficiency for e25i to observe an electron in tt→evbjjb is 84%.
• Efficiency for mu20 to observe a muon in tt→μvbjjb is 78%.

b-tagging• Implement b-tagging to increase S/B.
• Decrease uncertainty on W+N Jets.
• IP3D+SV1 is recommended b-tagger.
• Defining weight cut gives εb-tag, flight, purity.
• Highly sample dependent.
• w>6.25: εb-tag=50%, flight=656, P=0.99.

b-tagging performance
• Weights are chosen such that
εb-tag = 50% for all algorithms.
• ‘Purification’:
Removal of true light flavor quarks within ∆R < 0.8 of true heavy flavor quarks or taus. If found, identify and discard reconstructed light flavor jet within ∆R < 0.4 of true light flavor quark.
• IP3D+SV1 is optimized for use on Cone4 jets.
• Good performance for
• Cone4 jets.
• kT, D=0.4 jets.
• Performance is poor for
• Cone7 jets.
• kT, D=0.7 jets.

Selection Cuts
• Inclusive kT algorithm, E scheme, D=0.4. • Hard Jet Cuts
• No cuts are applied to lepton quantities.• Require at least four jets:
• |η| < 5.0.• Lead jet must have pT(j1)>80 GeV.• Three subsequent jets must have pT(j)>40 GeV.
• Commissioning Analysis Cuts• Exactly one isolated, high-pT electron or muon.
• E∆R=0.20 < 6 GeV.• pT(l) > 20 GeV, |η| < 2.5.• Muons are reconstructed by Staco. • Electron candidates must:
• Be reconstructed by eGamma.• Fulfill (isEM==0).
• At least four jets. • |η| < 2.5• First three jets have pT(j) > 40 GeV.• Fourth jet has pT(j4) > 20 GeV.• Jets are removed if ∆R(j,e)<0.4.
• Missing Transverse Energy: MET > 20 GeV.
