VLF meeting

Thursday 3 Aug 2017, 17:00 → 18:00 Europe/Zurich

42/R-024 (CERN)

Jose Ruiz (Universidad de los Andes (CO)), Nelson Vanegas Arbelaez (Universidad de Antioquia (CO))

Action items:

1. Signal samples generation: two benchmark points according to current experimental limits on the VLF mass (lowest mass limit ~ 110 GeV and highest mass limit) times 4 mass gap scenarios: (M_F-M_DM)=1,5,10,20 GeV This makes a total of 8 signal samples to be produced. (Federico and Diego)
2. Upload into the repository all configuration cards and relevant information related to MC production (Signal production by Federico and backgrounds production by Nelson)
3. Upload macro from Carlos to the repo (Jose)
4. Two analysis paths will be pursued based on two variables to differentiate signal over background pt(mu) and MT(mu,MET). Monojet-type -> Implies applying first the monojet trigger (MET>110 GeV and MHT>110 GeV), select events with exactly one muon and then check the two main variables. VLF-trigger-type -> Apply a trigger with greater acceptance for our signal (in development), select events with exactly one muon and then check the two main variables.
5. Correct signal generation to do not put cuts on the muon eta at MadGraph level (Federico)
