Top-partner mass reconstruction by using jets
Michihisa Takeuchi ( KEK,YITP)
In collaboration with Mihoko M. Nojiri (KEK), Naotoshi Okamura (KEK)
IntroductionThere are several models: MSSM,LHT,UED, …Common signal at the LHC: Many high jets, leptons, LargeLepton channels are established.
However, the analyses in lepton channels depend on the lepton BR.
If the lepton BR is small, few events can be observed at the LHC.
Jet BR is large, much events with only jets will be observed.
To Understand Jets are important toward the LHC.1
What is the jet ?
Experimentally : Hadrons which have collinear momenta
Theoretically : Hadrons which are showered from a parton

to obtain a set of jets from a set of hadrons’ momenta.
Most activities are within a cone which has some radius.Cone algorithms
⊿ R= 0.4 is standard
Parton shower results in a set of collinear hadrons
We should define jets and give the procedure
1. Find the particle with the maximum pt.
2. Draw a cone which center is the selected direction.
3. Sum all momenta within the cone, and back to step 2 and repeat until the cone converge.
The simplest cone algorithm implemented in AcerDET
SISCone More sophisticated cone algorithm
Clustering algorithms
We have implemented 4 algorithms into our code by using FastJet and can compare them.
It is important to understand what is stable and what is sensitive to algorithms.

1. Calculate “distances” between all the pairs of particles.
2. Pick up the pair with minimum distance, merge two as one and back to step1 until all distances are larger than some threshold.

Jet definition is not unique.
The activity decreases,
when it goes away from the center of activity.

Top partner in Littlest Higgs model with T-paity• Studied in S.Matsumoto, M.M. Nojiri, D.Nomura PRD75,(2007) The simplest cone algorithm (AcerDET ) is used for reconstructing jets.
• AcerDET treats jet masses as 0. Then invariant masses of jet systems are underestimated.
• We have reanalysed the same process by using kt, Cambridge, SISCone.

The method objects into 2 groups called hemispheres.
Collinear objects are grouped in the same hemisphere

Tops from ttbar are not boosted, this grouping dose not work well.
Event selection
Cut the SM events
Forbid semi-leptonic decay of tops
Require boosted tops
Drop the events with other QCD jets or 2 tops in 1 hemisphere.

Acerdet has a dull peak below and a tail below the peak.

KT & CB behaviors are similar with no underlying event.
With underlying events, the peak position of KT move above 175GeV.

Summary• To understand Jets is important at the LHC.
• We have reconstructed top momenta by using jets
and measure the mass of top-partner using .
• We have studied the dependence of jet algorithms. * mass measurement with is not so sensitive to algorithms.
* Cambridge algorithm is stable to underlying events,
kt algorithm is sensitive to them.
