Analysis Overview
‣
Target models: Hidden sector with a heavy neutral boson, 𝜙, decaying to two long- lived neutral scalars, s, that decay to pairs of SM fermions.‣
Separate the selection in two groups:‣
High mass samples: m𝜙 = 400 to 1000 GeV; mS = 50 to 400 GeV‣
Low mass samples: m𝜙 = 125 to 200 GeV; mS = 5 to 50 GeV‣
Trigger: dedicated CalRatio (Calorimeter Ratio: EH/EEM) triggers‣
High mass samples: default CalRatio trigger seeded by L1_TAU60‣
Low mass samples: CalRatio trigger seeded by L1Topo L1_LLP-NOMATCH‣
Signature: 2 displaced jets in the Calorimeter‣
Background contributions mainly from:‣
multijets: jets produced from neutral hadrons‣
Non-collision backgrounds:‣
beam-induced background (BIB)‣
cosmic muons‣
All estimated using data-driven methods‣

• Signature: Displaced jet in the Calorimeter + prompt SM Z/W decaying leptonically
•
Benefits:•
Single displaced object search•
can use SM lepton triggers, no need to rely on specific triggers• Targeting several theory models with a common final state:
•
Dark sector model with 𝜙 → Z(ll) Zd with LLP Zd•
GGM SUSY model with 𝛘 → G Z (ff)•
ALP + Z/W model•
Z/W HSS7

Targeting Dark Sector model: production of

d with LLPZ
dStrategy in a nutshell:
• Main backgrounds: Z+jets, dibosons , BIB, QCD
• Analysis just started: playing with with leptons, investigating NN performance on these jets
• Collecting ideas to improve performances of the current NN (optimal for HSS model)
• Worst performances due to lower pT, difficult event features ..investigating!

Cut-based selection
W+LLP SELECTION: PRESELECTION

➤ Started with a basic + jet preselection:
➤ For signal, one of the LLPs must be matched to the jet with the highest low- NN signal score (sig1-L jet) and the LLP must decay within the calorimeters
➤ Will use a cut in low- NN signal score to identify LLPs, as its performance is homogenous among different signal samples and has good separation power for low mass signals

➤ Started with a basic + jet preselection:
➤ For WHSS samples, there is a worse reconstruction, possibly due to the presence of a second LLP, but this is yet to be studied
➤ An interesting variable is : it is lower wrt background for signal due to higher momentum values. Again, this feature is more clearly observed for W+ALPs than for WHSS.

Displaced jet tagging NN
•
Neural network trained to tag jets as signal, beam-induced-background (BIB), multijets•
Takes as input tracks, topoclusters, muon segments•
Some of these input variables have a non-negligible mismodelling22

Displaced jet tagging NN
•
Used adversarial NN to reduce the impact of mismodelled inputs on the final efficiency23

•
Select two variables to define a Signal Region (A) and three Control Regions (B, C, D)•
One of the variables is a per-event BDT to separate BIB from QCD from signal24

Limits: Comparison to previous results
•
Use lifetime extrapolation to present limits as a function of the lifetime•
Second exotic result using pyhf for statistical interpretation!!27
• Very good improvement wrt 2016 data CalRatio analyses
• Improvements come from:
• 2018 version of LLP-NOMATCH trigger
• Displaced jet NN tagger more sensitive than previous method
• Increase in lumi
