Minutes:
intro (no intro slides slides)
Cross check of simplified model with CMS (Yalcin Guler)
C: very nice to see the cross-sections of existing UFO (Bai & Berger) and Über-UFO (with consistent quantum number settings: Dirac DM, mediator coupling to RH up quarks only [DMSimp-t-S3D_uR]) agree within uncertainties
Update from DMSimp_t team on Über-UFO
Q/p7: “from the best signal regions” → which regions are these? (informed decision about binning and analysis optimisation for the future
A: one of the intermediate MET bins, will follow up by email
Q/p8-p9: how will this look like for BM2?
A: the analysis is still running, LXBATCH slow
C: DMSimp_t team very much welcomes contributions to study the model phenomenology. Technical setup etc can be provided to start smoothly
Q: did other individuals/teams approach you?
A: few people asked for further info about the UFO, in touch with them
AI: look at other signal configurations
Discussion:
General consensus:
The White Paper (WP) could be structured like this:
Begin with an introduction of the different spin/quantum number configurations for the DM and the mediator,
show total cross-sections + basic kinematic distributions for representative benchmark models,
compare to existing UFOs
[possibly reinterpretation of existing ATLAS/CMS results]
Recommendations for interpreting future ATLAS/CMS results
It would be interesting to include a section on t-channel models beyond Minimal Flavour Violation
Writing the first part of the White Paper comes closer
AI: think about names for editing the paper
AI: it would be good to do more validations of the Über-UFO against existing implementations
AI: It would be good to identify names to be in charge of this effort from the experimental collaborations
