Electroweak Precision Measurements and Standard Model Higgs Searches

W Mass Measurement: 20 MeV
- Projections versus Integrated Luminosity (made by CDF): eps, gif
  - Extrapolated from Run Ib measurement
  - Uncertainties assumed to scale with luminosity:
    - Statiscal uncertainties
    - Systematic uncertainties such as Energy and momentum scale, Hadron Recoil against W
  - Uncertainties assumed not to scale with luminosity:
    - W production and decay: PDFs, d(sigma_W)/d(Pt), higher order QCD/QED effects
    - Assumed to be 10 MeV/c²
Top Mass Measurement: <1.5 GeV
- Projection versus Integrated Luminosity
  - CDF Projected Top Mass Uncertainty (l+j, l+l channels) available from here.
  - CDF Projected contribution from Jet Energy Scale: eps
  - CDF + D0 l+j channel only (made by D0) eps, gif
    - "Other" systematics are normalized to estimate of 1.7 GeV/c² from analyses using L=318 pb^-1. Since most of these systematic uncertainties are of theoretical nature, assume that we can use the large data sets to constrain some of the model parameters and ultimately reduce it to 1 GeV/c².

Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model

MSSM Higgs
- Motivation: ppt, pdf
- h/A --> bb-bar 95%CL Limits:
  - Projections made by D0
  - Document: ps, tex
- h/A/H --> tautau
- CDF in di-tau channel and D0 in bb-bar channel combined
  - 95% CL Limits: positive mu, negative mu
SUSY Reaches
- Using trilepton events
  - 95% Limit Projections made by D0: eps, gif
  - Document
- Using Jets + missing Et events
  - Motivation: Squark-Gluino Exclusion Limits for MSUGRA
  - 95% Limit Projectioins made by D0
  - Assumptions
    - improved jet energy scale
    - background scaled with luminosity - no high mass optimization
    - higher mass signal efficiences linearly extrapolated from lower mass
- Stop Searches using Jets + missing Et events
  - 95% Limit Projections made by CDF: eps gif
  - Assumptions:
    - Signal acceptance and SM background estimation is based on cuts that were previously optimized for ~163 pb-1.
    - Assumed a higher MET trigger cut.
    - Therefore the projected limit should be considered to be quite conservative
