L’eliminazione delle tracce con pT< 1 GeV rende completamente pulito l’evento, sopravvivono solo elettrone e positrone
Il rivelatore centrale tracciante nel campo magnetico misura segno della carica e momento I calorimetri misurano l’energia degli elettroni Si controlla che E=p
Nei calorimetri elettromagnetici le Z appaiono come due depositi localizzati di energia in direzioni opposte

More precise methods give world average values of
MZ = 91.187±0.007 GeV/c2
ΓZ = 2.490 ±0.007 GeV/c2
corresponding to a lifetime of 2.6x10-25 s

Se un elettrone o un positrone irradia un fotone l’energia della collisione diminuisce; diventa risonante √s>MZ. Coda alle alte energie δσ(picco)= 30%, δMZ≈ 200 MeV Si calcolano le correzioni “ovvie”, si corregge la curva misurata, si estraggono i parametri (massa, larghezza, altezza del picco)

MZ come costante fondamentale, nei valori delle altre due ci sono incertezze teoriche dovute alla non conoscenza perfetta di MH, αs etc
Le larghezze parziali della Z Gli esperimenti a LEP hanno misurato • le larghezze parziali in e+e–, µ+µ–, τ+τ– • la “larghezza invisibile” cui contribuiscono tutte le generazioni di neutrini ed eventuali particelle neutre non previste • la larghezza in ≠cc individuando i vertici secondari di decadimento • la larghezza in ≠bb individuando i vertici secondari di decadimento Perfetto accordo con la teoria (e determinazione di sin2θW)

• Poteva non essere intero se nuova fisica (altre particelle invisibili) • Ci sono tre famiglie, e solo tre
La larghezza totale è tanto maggiore quanto maggiore è il numero di canali aperti, in particolare il numero di neutrini (di massa <MZ/2). Ancora più sensibile è la sezione d’urto totale al picco, che dipende dalla larghezza totale
Il contributo a Γ di 3 neutrini è il 20% del totale. Conviene usare quantità che dipendono poco da correzioni radiative: σ0, MZ e il rapporto Rl=Γadr/Γl.

You select two electrons in the analysis With certain quality criteria With an isolation requirement With ET>25 GeV and |eta|<2.5 With oppositely charged tracks with
pT>10 GeV You require the di-electron mass to
be near the Z: 66<M(ll)<116 GeV

W and Z production at LHC proceeds at the hard scattering level and first order via collisions of a valence quark (u,d) and a sea antiquark (Q≈100 GeV):
• LHC parton density fractions in this process are typically 10-4 < x < 10-1.
• Cross sections at LHC are a factor of 3 higher than at the Tevatron.
• At LHC: > 106 W→lν events and ~ 105 Z → l+l- events per experiment and per lepton channel in 2011 data !!

Importance of DY

• Process: production of two leptons at high PT
• It allows the measurement of few important parameters of the SM the forward backward asymmetry AFB. measurement of sinϑW: via the measurement of asymmetry AFB measurement of the MW mass
• W± production:
- W+ x-section larger than W-
- PDF: quark and antiquark density in protons [ud(bar)W+; u(bar) d W-] • W+jets production
• Production of (WW, ZZ, WZ): to study Triple Gauge coupling constants
All of this constitues background for new physics

Acceptance of Kinematic Cuts: Z’s
Some events are kinematically outside your measurement range
E.g. at Tevatron: 63% of the events fail either pT or η cut Need to understand how certain these 63% are Best to make acceptance as large as possible

• Experimental uncertainty: ~2% • Luminosity uncertainty: ~6% • Theoretical uncertainty: ~2%
• Can use these processes to normalize luminosity absolutely However, theory uncertainty larger at LHC and theorists don’t agree (yet)
