Outline Motivation Analysis Strategy Experimental Apparatus and Data Samples Analysis Techniques GEANT Detector Studies Custom Simulation and Fitting Results and Systematic Uncertainties Implications for standard model Higgs Conclusions

Motivation for Precision Measurements The electroweak gauge sector of the standard model, defined by (g, g', v), is constrained by three precisely known parameters αem (MZ) = 1 / 127.918(18) GF = 1.16637 (1) x 10-5 GeV-2 MZ = 91.1876 (21) GeV At tree-level, these parameters are related to other electroweak observables, e.g. MW MW2 = παεμ / 2GF sin2ϑw Where ϑw is the Weinberg mixing angle, defined by cos ϑw = MW/MZ

Motivation for Precision Measurements Radiative corrections due to heavy quark and Higgs loops and exotica Motivate the introduction of the ρ parameter: MW2 = ρ [MW(tree)]2 with the predictions Δρ = (ρ 1) Μtop2 and Δρ ln MH In conjunction with Mtop, the W boson mass constrains the mass of the Higgs boson, and possibly new particles beyond the standard model

Contributions from Supersymmetric Particles Radiative correction depends on mass splitting ( m2) between squarks in SU(2) doublet After folding in limits on SUSY particles from direct searches, SUSY loops can contribute 100-200 MeV to MW

1998 Status of MW vs Mtop

Recent Status of MW vs Mtop

Uncertainty from αem(mz) Line thickness due to δαem δαem dominated by uncertainty from non-perturbative contributions: hadronic loops in photon propagator at low Q2 equivalent δmw 4 MeV for the same Higgs mass constraint Was equivalent δmw 15 MeV a decade ago!

Progress on Mtop at the Tevatron From the Tevatron, Mtop = 0.9 GeV => MH / MH = 8% equivalent MW = 6 MeV for the same Higgs mass constraint Current world average MW = 23 MeV progress on MW has the biggest impact on Higgs constraint!

Motivation II SM Higgs fit: MH = 92+34-26 GeV (LEPEWWG) Direct searches: MH > 115.5 GeV, MH < 127 GeV or MH > 600 GeV (LEP: PLB 565, 61, ATLAS: arxiv:1202.1408, CMS: arxiv:1202.1488) In addition to the Higgs, is there another missing piece in this puzzle? ( AFBb vs ALR: ~3σ ) Must continue improving precision of MW, Mtop... other precision measurements constrain Higgs, equivalent to δmw ~ 15 MeV Motivate direct measurement of MW at the 15 MeV level and better

Motivation II SM Higgs fit: MH = 92+34-26 GeV (LEPEWWG) Direct searches: MH > 115.5 GeV, MH < 127 GeV or MH > 600 GeV (LEP: PLB 565, 61, ATLAS: arxiv:1202.1408, CMS: arxiv:1202.1488) In addition to the Higgs, is there another missing piece in this puzzle? GF MW? Mtop νn MZ Sin2θW ( AFBb vs ALR: ~3σ ) Must continue improving precision of MW, Mtop... other precision measurements constrain Higgs, equivalent to δmw ~ 15 MeV Motivate direct measurement of MW at the 15 MeV level and better

Motivation III Generic parameterization of new physics contributing to W and Z boson self-energies: S, T, U parameters Additionally, MW is the only measurement which constrains U U=0 assumed (From PDG 2011) MW and Asymmetries are the most powerful observables in this parameterization

Event Selection Goal: Select events with high pt leptons and small hadronic recoil activity Inclusive lepton triggers: loose lepton track and muon stub / calorimeter cluster requirements, with lepton pt > 18 GeV to maximize W mass information content and minimize backgrounds Kinematic efficiency of trigger ~100% for offline selection Offline selection requirements: Electron cluster ET > 30 GeV, track pt > 18 GeV Muon track pt > 30 GeV Loose identification requirements to minimize selection bias W boson event selection: one selected lepton, u < 15 GeV & pt(ν) > 30 GeV Z boson event selection: two selected leptons

W & Z Data Samples Integrated Luminosity (collected between February 2002 August 2007): Electron and muon channels: L = 2.2 fb-1 Identical running conditions for both channels, guarantees cross-calibration Event selection gives fairly clean samples Mis-identification backgrounds ~ 0.5%

Analysis Strategy

Strategy Maximize the number of internal constraints and cross-checks Driven by two goals: 1) Robustness: constrain the same parameters in as many different ways as possible 2) Precision: combine independent measurements after showing consistency

Outline of Analysis Energy scale measurements drive the W mass measurement Tracker Calibration alignment of the COT (~2400 cells) using cosmic rays COT momentum scale and tracker non-linearity constrained using J/ψ µµ and ϒ µµ mass fits Confirmed using Z µµ mass fit EM Calorimeter Calibration COT momentum scale transferred to EM calorimeter using a fit to the peak of the E/p spectrum, around E/p ~ 1 Calorimeter energy scale confirmed using Z Tracker and EM Calorimeter resolutions Hadronic recoil modelling Characterized using pt-balance in Z ee mass fit ll events

Drift Chamber (COT) Alignment COT endplate geometry

Internal Alignment of COT Use a clean sample of ~400k cosmic rays for cell-by-cell internal alignment Fit COT hits on both sides simultaneously to a single helix (AK, H. Gerberich and C. Hays, NIMA 506, 110 (2003)) Time of incidence is a floated parameter in this 'dicosmic fit'

Residuals of COT cells after alignment CDFII preliminary Residual (microns) Before alignment 25 Cell number (φ) after alignment -25 Cell number (φ) Final relative alignment of cells ~2 µm (initial alignment ~50 µm)

Consistency check of COT alignment procedure Fit separate helices to cosmic ray tracks on each side Compare track parameters (eg. Curvature, shown below) of the two tracks: a measure of track parameter bias CDFII preliminary c (cm-1) False curvature smaller than 0.1% for 40 GeV track, over the length of the COT Z (cm)

Cross-check of COT alignment Cosmic ray alignment removes most deformation degrees of freedom, but weakly constrained modes remain Final cross-check and correction to beam-constrained track curvature based on difference of <E/p> for positrons vs electrons Smooth ad-hoc curvature corrections as a function of polar and azimuthal angle: statistical errors => MW = 2 MeV CDFII preliminary L = 2.2 fb-1

Signal Simulation and Fitting

Signal Simulation and Template Fitting All signals simulated using a Custom Monte Carlo Generate finely-spaced templates as a function of the fit variable perform binned maximum-likelihood fits to the data Custom fast Monte Carlo makes smooth, high statistics templates And provides analysis control over key components of the simulation MW = 81 GeV Monte Carlo template MW = 80 GeV We will extract the W mass from six kinematic distributions: Transverse mass, charged lepton pt and missing ET using both electron and muon channels

Generator-level Signal Simulation PHOTOS RESBOS Generator-level input for W & Z simulation provided by RESBOS (C. Balazs & C.-P. Yuan, PRD56, 5558 (1997) and references therein), which Calculates triple-differential production cross section, and pt-dependent double-differential decay angular distribution calculates boson pt spectrum reliably over the relevant pt range: includes tunable parameters in the non-perturbative regime at low pt Multiple radiative photons generated according to PHOTOS (P. Golonka and Z. Was, Eur. J. Phys. C 45, 97 (2006) and references therein)

Validation of QED Calculations Extensive comparisons between PHOTOS and HORACE (C.M. Carloni Calame, G. Montagna, O. Nicrosini and A. Vicini, JHEP 0710:109,2007) programs Comparing multi-photon final state radiation algorithms Including multi-photon radiation from all charged lines (HORACE), and consistency with exact one-photon calculation PHOTOS HORACE Validations confirm systematic uncertainty due to QED radiation of 4 MeV

Improvement of MW Uncertainty with Sample Statistics Non-scaling floor (11 MeV) dominated by PDF uncertainty (10 MeV)

Standard Model Higgs Constraints previous SM Higgs fit: MH = 92+34-26 GeV (Zfitter, LEPEWWG) MH < 161 GeV @ 95 C.L. Updated preliminary SM Higgs fit [Zfitter, P. Renton (LEPEWWG)]: MH = 90+29-23 GeV MH < 145 GeV @ 95 C.L.

Future MW Measurements at Tevatron Factor of 2-5 bigger samples of W and Z bosons available For most of the sources of systematic uncertainties, we have demonstrated that we can find ways to constrain them with data and scale systematic uncertainties with data statistics Exception is the PDF uncertainty, where we have not made a dedicated effort to constrain the PDFs within the analysis We need to address specific PDF degrees of freedom to answer the question: Can we approach total uncertainty on MW ~ 10 MeV at the Tevatron? (A.V. Kotwal and J. Stark, Ann. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci., vol. 58, Nov 2008)

Summary The W boson mass is a very interesting parameter to measure with increasing precision New CDF W mass result is the more precise than current world average: MW = 80387 ± 12stat ± 15syst MeV = 80387 ± 19 MeV (preliminary) New preliminary MH < 145 GeV @ 95% CL previous MH < 161 GeV @ 95% CL Looking forward to MW < 15 MeV from 10 fb-1 of CDF data
