CHAPTER 5: Estimating of the Jet Energy Scale Calibration Factor 119The distributions of some variables, which were used as input to train the MVA method,are shown for the collision data and the simulated events in Figure 5.30. They arecalculated using the chosen jet-parton combination which is returned by the MVAmethod.Looking at the high-level variables which are shown in Figure 5.30, the good agreementbetween data and simulation can be observed.With the jets labeled to the partons in the t → Wb → q¯qb decay using the MVAmethod, it is time to reconstruct the W boson and the top quark four-vectors. Thedistributions of the mass of the W boson and the top quark are shown in Figure 5.31.Although the chosen jet combination by the MVA method does not correspond tothe true combination, what is observed from Figure 5.31 is that the data events followthe same behaviour as the simulation and a good agreement can again be obtained.In the following the selected events are fed to the kinematic fit package. As before, thekinematic fit is performed 41×41 times per event while scanning a region correspondingto a window of ±40% around the non-corrected energies of the light as well as the bjets. The fit is performed in steps of 2% in both the light and b jet energy correctionsto make a two-dimensional plot of the fit probabilities. The output of the kinematicfit method for a typical collision data event is shown in Figure 5.32. The informationof the event, including the run number and the event number, are quoted on the plot.It can be seen from Figure 5.32, that the fit has been converged in each point inthe two-dimensional space which is spanned in the direction of the residual light and bjet energy corrections. Also it is clearly observed that the maximum of the fit happenssomewhere in the scanned region which confirms that the mass constraints are maximallyfulfilled at that point. Therefore, the observed collision data event can representan e+jets t¯t event.The distribution of the kinematic fit probability in the selected events when no correctionis applied P KinFit (∆E l = 1, ∆E b = 1), is shown in Figure 5.33.The peak at zero justifies the need for the residual jet energy corrections. It isalso interesting to look at the distribution of the maximum probability returned by thekinematic fit PKinFit max (∆E l, ∆E b ) per event, which is shown in Figure 5.34.Again what can be seen from Figure 5.34 is the compatibility of the collision dataand the simulated events within the statistical uncertainties.In order to apply the method of estimating the residual jet energy corrections on thedata, the same extra event selection cuts, as described in Section 5.3, are applied onthe collision data. These additional event selection cuts are summarized in Table 5.16.According to the results that were obtained using 100pb −1 of the integrated luminosityshown in Table 5.3, the number of e+jets t¯t events survived, for example, thecut on the maximum probability of the kinematic fit PKinFit max > 0.98, is around 75.Therefore, in an analysis which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1pb −1 ,
