Models to emulate the CR effect

PYTHIA : string reconfiguration if they overlap or cross in space-time
– SK1SK1 (lateral flux tube) : via event string overlap O : ppCRCR = 1-exp(- = 1-exp(-·O)·O)– SK2 (vortex line with core) : reconnection if cores cross– SK2’ : SK2 + only if string length is reduced
ARIADNE : rearrangement of colour dipoles to reduce the string length (mass)
– AR2 : only after soft gluon radiation (Eg < W)
– AR3 : allowed everywhere (also in pertubative phase) HERWIG : rearrangement of colour dipoles changing the size of the clusters
CR implemented in existing fragmentation models :
For each model one can study the effect on the structure of the WW events with Monte Carlo simulation and compare it
with data.

Particle flowParticle flow W-mass measurementsW-mass measurementsCR is an important systematic uncertainty on mW measured in WW qqqq events, but we designed another mW estimator which does not have this feature...
Design an observable to measure a possibleenhancement of particles in the inter-Wregions…

Colour reconnection models are investigated in WWWWqqQQqqQQ events
Two uncorrelated observables are designed : Integrating the particle flow between jets ( RR ) Using the kinematics of the jets ( mmWW[std,cone][std,cone] )
Preliminary results prefer a small amount of Colour Reconnectionsmall amount of Colour Reconnection (also the LEP combined measurement, cfr. talk of Nigel Watson)
The observables are not sensitive to the ARIADNE modelARIADNE model !?
Preliminary shift on the W-mass• PYTHIA (SK1) ~ 5050 MeV/c2
• ARIADNE (AR2) ~ 7070 MeV/c2
• HERWIG ~ 4040 MeV/c2
Statistical uncertainty (LEP2) ~ 3030 MeV/c2
Therefore one cannot decreasethe systematic uncertainty on mW
