Abstract
Research of some possible optimisations of the high-mass Higgs boson decaying to 4 leptons analysis is presented. The full Run 2 data (2015-2018) collected by the CMS experiment in the Large Hadron Collider is used. The study is carried out as part of the effort to make the search for new scalars (heavy Higgs bosons) more efficient. There are three parts of the analysis conducted. The first is comparing two data samples, before and after an updated calibration of the detector. Next, a study is performed to try to determine whether it is possible to loosen some restrictions in the analysis with a goal of improving the results, while also controlling the "explosion" of noise events. Finally, categorisation of the production mode of the events (how the Higgs boson is created) is explored, taking into consideration the values of the discriminating variables. For each topic, the methods of work are explained and results shown.
Abstract (croatian)
U ovom radu prezentiraju se rezultati istraživanja mogućih poboljšanja u analizi raspada Higgsovog bozona visoke mase na 4 leptona. Korišteni su podaci CMS eksperimenta iz Velikog hadronskog sudarača u CERN-u, skupljeni od 2015. do 2018. godine, tzv. Run 2. Izvodi se u studija u sklopu povećanja efikasnosti u potrazi za novim skalarima, tj. Higgsovim bozonima visokih masa. Provedena su tri tipa analize. Za početak, prikazana je usporedba dvaju uzoraka podataka. Jedan od njih nastao je prije, a drugi nakon kalibracije detektora u 2019. godini. Usporedba je ranije provedena za Higgsov bozon iz Standardnog Modela, onaj mase 125 GeV , a ovo je prva provjera u analizi visoke mase. Nadalje, proučava se potencijalno poboljšanje analize popuštanjem nekih zahtjeva u njoj. Uspoređuje se eventualni benefit relaksacije granične vrijednosti sa količinom dodatnih pozadinskih smetnji koje mogu otežati analizu. Konačno, istražuju se produkcijski mehanizmi Higgsovog bozona i kategorizacija samih produkcijskih događaja u analizi visoke mase promatrajući ponašanje vrijednosti određenih diskriminacijskih varijabli. Za svaku je temu objašnjena metoda i pokazani rezultati istraživanja.
