Forum: LHC - leptons + X – Topic: Discussion Session 10/13/11

Are there are any comments related to last week’s forum on ATLAS-CONF-2011-130?

I had the following questions/comments:

1. How are the background normalizations taken? Did they really just use ALPGEN straight from the can to get the W/Z+jets backgrounds?
2. Markus pointed out the topology $p p \to Z' \to H h \to (b \overline{b}) (W W)$ and various other topologies. Markus, did you have a paper or note to reference?
3. Any other questions??

Some helpful information related to drawing wiggly lines in the above example:

In the slide-out drawer, next to the stroke-color and stroke-thickness controls, are a series of other controls, one of which gives you dashed (etc) strokes.

The wiggly line can be drawn as a path, with anchor points located, at regular intervals, along a line (easy, if you turn on the grid background), with slopes of equal magnitude, alternating in sign (again, easy to do, if you use the grid).
