Analysis Centre seminar: Henrik Nilsen "DZero Analysis Walkthrough for Experimentalists and Theorists"

Europe/Berlin
Description
Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview of various analysis techniques used in the D0 experiment for correcting (unfolding) differential distributions reconstructed in data for the impact of the detector. Performing such corrections is of great importance since it allows for direct comparisons to be performed between experimental data and theory/model predictions. Which correction technique to use depends on the physics process and observable to be measured, as illustrated using various QCD and electroweak measurements published by the D0 experiment. The various techniques rely on either a Ansatz approach, a parameterized detector description, or a GEANT-based detector simulation and use either a so-called bin-by-bin method or a regularized unfolding method to account for the impact of the detector resolution. ------------------------------------- DESY Hamburg, 17:00 SR 3 ___________________________ EVO connection: Title: Analysis Centre Seminars Description: Analysis Centre Seminars Community: Terascale Phone Bridge ID: 1312410 Meeting URL: http://evo.vrvs.org/evoGate/koala.jnlp?meeting=MaMDMt222sDeDi9M98DI9a
