Particle signatures left in the detector components

Photons (0)A photon is detected as energy in the ECAL, with no high-transverse-momentum track, and little energy in the HCAL

Electrons (1)An electron is detected as energy in the ECAL, with a high-transverse-momentum track pointing toward it, and little energy in the HCAL

Muons (2) A muon leaves little energy in the calorimers, has a track, and travels all the way to the muon-detector system outside the calorimeters.

Hadronically-Decaying Taus (3)The most common hadronic decays of the tau are to a neutrino plus------• A charged pion• One charged pion and one or two pi-zeros

“1-prong” tau : A single charged track that leaves energy in HCAL Any hadronic or EM energy is clustered in a very narrow cone surrounding the charged track------• Two pions of one charge and a third of the opposite charge

“3-prong” tau : A very narrow jet, with invariant mass no greater than 2 GeV, and with 3 tracks.

Jets (4)Jets are defined to be groups of particles (tracks and energy bumps in calorimeters) that fit inside a cone in azimuth and pseudo-rapidity space.(cone algorithm) The properties of these jets are expected to correspondclosely to the kinematics of the partons in hard process.

Cone size of a jet

Transverse energy

(dR ~0.7 : a common choice)

(η= ln [cot(θ/2)] : pseudo-rapidity)

ET = pT = E sin θ = E (cosh η)-1

Missing Transverse Energy (6)

Missing Et is defined by summing (as a vector) the transverse energy deposited in all of the calorimeter cells(this combines, ideally, the momenta of all photons, electrons,hadronically-decaying taus, and jets) and adding to this the transverse momenta of any muons, whose energy is measured using the muon detection system.

The magnitude of the resultant vector is the missing ET.

One of the most important signatures of SUSY with R-parity conservation is large “missing transverse energy”.

Heavy flavor tagging (b-tagging)

Particles of a life-time τ ~ 10-12 s, such as B0,+, D0,+ maytravel a distinguishable distance (cτ ~ 100 μm) beforedecaying into charged tracks, and thus result in a displacedsecondary vertex and a nonzero impact parameter

The observation, within a jet, of a displaced vertex, tracks with nonzero impact parameter,and/or a single muon all give evidence thata heavy quark was somewhere in the jet.

The decays also can producemuons which are close to the jet.
