Giorgio Apollinari | CMS at Fermilab taking over

• Work by 8:30

• put in hdmi cable first… and the wrong screen came up
• did the protocol above, again with the hdmi first … same
• repeated with the usbc cable first .. worked

• [X] think re: ttH
• [-] slides re:SvB show modelling SvB Study
  • [X] Show modelling of inputs
  • [ ] limits … to AE
• [X] setup HH4b production tool
• [X] setup emu skims
• [X] Read Silicon book

• https://indico.cern.ch/event/1695886/
• Went well.. went over time, but had a lot of info
  • Q: Why is run3 better than Run2 ?
• also good

• Steve out as lead… will stay on in advisory role

• Buy guess pool passes

• Good games .. good runs .. . 4s played well
• 7' at Tmax = 121

• We can do this analysis .,.. !!!!

  (Turns out this ahd the wrong x-section by a factor of 2)

• CMS results https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.10896
• Seems to requre >= 7 jets

• We see most signal at lower multiplicities

  

• It would be worthing making svb plot in jet-mult bins
• 4,5,6,7,8>=9
• maybe they just fucked up the nJet cut
• Is it possible the existing CMS analysis is this sub-optimal ? Or does this mean we have a bug ?
• we can show we are not crazy by making your SvB plot after the >= 7 jets cut
  • this should look not far off of thiers
  • then we have a clear/clean story for why we expect to be much better
  • … most of the signal is nJet 5 and 6 !

all of this starts with the MEM, if I would guess, I guess that they start with njets>7 and they never cheked because the combinatorics explode if you dont have at least one reco object link to the gen object

• Had a nice time at CERN

• Higgs project went well

• The Physics of Energy (Book)
• The Iliad

• Seems to be the box… cant find the breaker for it
