Comparison: pT resolution Sept. 8, 2010 Ph. D. Thesis Defense, S. Guragain * Up to 200 GeV/c, no significant change due to bias but changes at higher pT Muon alignment becomes prominent at higher pT in all scenarios Demonstrates tracker-only does not change, as expected with or without bias on endcap stations Ideal alignment + 2mm shift of muon endcap LHC startup alignment (now) Sept. 8, 2010 Ph. D. Thesis Defense, S. Guragain * Alignment Systematics Study: Bias on ideal Endcap positions Alignment Systematics Study: Bias on startup Endcap positions Sept. 8, 2010 Ph. D. Thesis Defense, S. Guragain * Asymmetric results MC Mass Spectra Sept. 8, 2010 Ph. D. Thesis Defense, S. Guragain * Ideal alignment (MC_31X_V5) 50 pb -1 alignment (50PBMU31X_V1) Startup alignment (STARTUP31X_V4) Generated and reconstructed dimuon mass with 3 alignment scenarios MZ′ = 1.2 TeV Better aligned detector narrows the signal peak; e.g. from startup to 50 pb -1 Z′ Mass Reach Analysis:Signal and background samples Sept. 8, 2010 Ph. D. Thesis Defense, S. Guragain * Z′ signal sample with full Z′/Z/γ interference, reconstructed with startup alignment ; and the background samples, one in the mass region ( 500 GeV/c2) around the Z′ mass and the other at lower mass (200 GeV/c2). For the significance calculation, the reconstructed background sample is the weighted sum of these two background datasets. Reconstructed Mass fits: Significance with 200pb-1 Sept. 8, 2010 Ph. D. Thesis Defense, S. Guragain * Likelihood-ratio estimator has been used to evaluate the significance STARTUP align. MZ′ = 1.2 TeV 200pb-1 MZ′ = 1.2 TeV 200pb-1 50 pb -1 align. 1000 pseudo-experiments (SL ) (SL ) Signal significance vs. Lint Sept. 8, 2010 Ph. D. Thesis Defense, S. Guragain * Variation of signal significance for MZ′ = 1.0 TeV/c2 and 1.2 TeV/c2 for different alignments and integrated luminosities. Better alignment equals doubling the data set Better alignment puts us over 5
