• A -> HH -> 4b
• Probably Too detailed… not for Hy
• Decent knowledge of whats going on
• Plan for analysis ?
• Short CV / Accomplishments
• Follow up

• Gave 1st Talk in B2G
• https://indico.cern.ch/event/1574347/
• Should put all the names in the first slide
• Ping the other groups.

• Will give talk next Thursday in FBC2 meeting
• Looked at mHH in different SvB bins
• Chat re:politics and health care

• Makes SvB cut… m4j modelling looks great!
• Will ask to give a talk in B2G

• Still not there with the presentation … starting..
• Making a "contour" cut in deltaR(H,H) vs m4j
• Good modeling after the cut in the nominal data
• Will look into the mixed data.

• Now understands the double peak… Will write up slides… Repeat closure
• IS GETTING MARRIED!! November… been together for 5 months

• Has presentation re:double peak structure…
• Will iterate

• Lots of DB work
• Will look into m4j structure

• Did a lot of Database stuff
• back on the double peak question
• Chatted a bit about motivation in for the lab (104)

• Long chat re:Annual review

• Annual Review
• Sindhu Murthy Annual Review 2024

• Chat on mHH binning
• Will send slides for annual review tonight…

• Long discussion of runTwoStageClosure

• Chat re:slides for annual review
• Discussion of next steps…
• Near term plan:
  • Extend mass rage to 200 - 1200
  • Separate closure tests in mixed data ZZ ZH and HH regions
  • Do fit in unblinded ZZ SR
  • Present background modeling in B2G
• Longer-term / In parallel :
  • Get signal samples picos
  • Do fit in blinded HH SR
  • Get limits vs mass
  • Plot SvB in HH SR
  • Determine if can gain with a SvB cut
  • Present in B2G (Determine publication plan)

[>>] (4b Resonant Search)

• Committee: Matteo / Manfred / Hy / me
  • Kick-off Valentina

• debugging mixed inputs

• Chat re:runTwoStageClosure
• Still needs to make plots on v4j…

• Discussed Tmux and jobs running out of memory
• How to save plots with iPlot
  • Still not directly making the plots that solve the problem!!!!
• Wants to transition away from DB/Labview work.

• Discussed ARC slides https://indico.cern.ch/event/1336564/contributions/5626178/attachments/2737511/4760888/ARCMeeting_13Oct23.pdf and walked through systematics.
• Think she gets it now.
• Also talked through analysis endgame. Pointed her to ATLAS search: [https://www.arxiv.org/abs/1804.06174](https://www.arxiv.org/abs/1804.06174)

• Will start looking into systematics.
• Will try to understand what is going on with the sculpting of the m4j.
• Not showing too much initiative.

• Added labels to plots.
• Merged m4j hists for the separte regions into the central code
  • Hasnt looked into it yet.
• Some minor technical questions
• Chat about DB issues.
  • fix as much as we can on the back end.

• Discussed plan at 4b Resonant Search

• Last time got code running.
• Adding separate plots for mHH

• Walked her through code
• Sent her: PythonVirtualEnvironment
• Seems like she was loading the code though ssh… fixed when doing a local checkout
• I showed her how I do it on my machine.
• Walked her through next steps for X->hh->4b

• Had a nice time at the summer school.
• Recommends the lectures https://indico.fnal.gov/event/63696/timetable/#20240726.detailed

• Bias in 2d mass plane after plotting upper tail.
  • edges biased ?
• Plot lower tail.
• How important is it to cluster in the mass mass plane after a DvB cut ?
