Statistical Analysis Procedures Used for the Search for the Randall-Sundrum Graviton in the Boosted Regime

چکیده
In the analysis looking for the signature X → HH → bb̄bb̄, where X is the Randall-Sundrum Graviton (RSG), this paper reveals the preliminary results and preparation work done to optimize the pT cut that we can make on the leading jet to optimize the limits that we can set on the cross section for the RSG particle. The limit setting is done using a frequentist approach and an asymptotics approximation, and this paper also examines the accuracy of this approximation by doing some comparisons with the toys to see if we are justified in using the asymptotics when unblinding the analysis.

Search for Randall-Sundrum Gravitons in the Diphoton Channel at CDF
We report on a search for new particles in the diphoton channel using a data sample of 5.4 fb−1 of pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV collected using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The invariant mass spectrum of the data agrees well with the standard model expectation. We set upper limits on the cross section times branching ratio for the Randall-Sundrum gravito...

متن کاملSearch for New Dielectron Resonances and Randall-Sundrum Gravitons at the Collider Detector at Fermilab
A search for new dielectron mass resonances using data recorded by the CDF II detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.7 fb−1 is presented. No significant excess over the expected standard model prediction is observed. In this dataset, an event with the highest dielectron mass ever observed (960 GeV/c) was recorded. The results are interpreted in the Randall-Sundrum (RS) mode...
