Improved Kinematics Fitter for Event Selection: Elevating Signal Significance

This study introduces a novel approach to event selection and background identification in high-energy physics experiments, leading to significant improvements in signal accuracy and background rejection. The focus is on optimizing the selection process for events with specific characteristics, such as the presence of b-tags and the direction of boson decay. Key enhancements include refining the distribution of relevant variables and leveraging advanced kinematic techniques for more precise analysis. The research showcases how utilizing these tailored methodologies can enhance the discrimination between signal and background events, particularly in scenarios involving top quark decay and W boson production. Overall, the proposed kinematics fitter offers a robust framework for optimizing event selection procedures and enhancing the overall efficiency of particle physics experiments.

  3. Mlb distribution Mlnb distribution normalized by # of events of CDFnote At least 1 b-tag

  4. Double tag… At least 1 b-tag S+S S+J double tag

  5. W boson direction at the W* rest frame Dominant channel of Wbb background is t-channel like upper right feynman diagram. -> W boson direction is close to p or pbar direction
