However, <strong>the</strong> usage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>ematic fit method is still feasibleby apply<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> mass constra<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> specific event topologies. For example, <strong>in</strong><strong>the</strong> processes where a W boson is produced and subsequently decays to a pair <strong>of</strong> quarksW → q¯q, apply<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> mass constra<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> W boson and forc<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> four-momenta<strong>of</strong> its decay products to fulfill <strong>the</strong> mass equation, be<strong>in</strong>gm 2 W = (E jet 1+ E jet2 ) 2 − ( ⃗ P jet1 + ⃗ P jet2 ) 2 ,would improve significantly <strong>the</strong> resolution on <strong>the</strong> reconstructed jets. In <strong>the</strong> currentstudy, <strong>the</strong> mass constra<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> both <strong>the</strong> W boson and top quark are applied <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>hadronic branch <strong>of</strong> e+jets t¯t system, namely t → Wb → q¯qb. The reconstructedobjects <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al state, be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> light jets arris<strong>in</strong>g from <strong>the</strong> W boson decay and <strong>the</strong>b quark jet arris<strong>in</strong>g from <strong>the</strong> top quark decay, are asked to fulfill <strong>the</strong> mass constra<strong>in</strong>tswhich are expressed asm 2 W = (E l 1+ E l2 ) 2 − ( ⃗ P l1 + ⃗ P l2 ) 2 ,m 2 top = (E l 1+ E l2 + E b ) 2 − ( ⃗ P l1 + ⃗ P l2 + ⃗ P b ) 2 ,where <strong>in</strong>dex l i refers to one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two light jets orig<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g from light quarks, namelyup, down, charm and strange. Also <strong>in</strong>dex b <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> above formula, refers to <strong>the</strong> b jetarris<strong>in</strong>g from <strong>the</strong> heavy quark, namely <strong>the</strong> bottom quark.The k<strong>in</strong>ematic fit results are used to estimate <strong>the</strong> residual jet energy correction factorsfor both light as well as b quark jets as will be described <strong>in</strong> detail <strong>in</strong> Section 5.4. Thema<strong>the</strong>matical concept <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>ematic fit technique is reviewed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> next section.5.2.1 General Ma<strong>the</strong>matical ConceptA physics problem consists <strong>of</strong> measured quantities, ⃗y = (y 1 , y 2 , . . .,y n ), and unmeasuredvalues, ⃗a = (a 1 , a 2 , . . .,a p ). Also a certa<strong>in</strong> hypo<strong>the</strong>sis orig<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g from <strong>the</strong> physics pr<strong>in</strong>cipalsuch as conservation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> energy and momentum may be <strong>in</strong>troduced. Therefore<strong>the</strong> observed events, conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g n measured and p unmeasured values, are constra<strong>in</strong>edto fulfill <strong>the</strong> hypo<strong>the</strong>sis. Due to <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong> uncerta<strong>in</strong>ties on <strong>the</strong> measured values,usually <strong>the</strong> hypo<strong>the</strong>sis is not respected <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> physics problem which is under consideration.The hypo<strong>the</strong>sis, which is expressed via constra<strong>in</strong>t equations ⃗ f = (f 1 , f 2 , . . .,f m ),is satisfied for only <strong>the</strong> true parameters, namely ȳ and ā as written below.f 1 (ā 1 , ā 2 , . . .,ā p , ȳ 1 , ȳ 2 , . . ., ȳ n ) = 0,f 2 (ā 1 , ā 2 , . . .,ā p , ȳ 1 , ȳ 2 , . . ., ȳ n ) = 0,.f m (ā 1 , ā 2 , . . .,ā p , ȳ 1 , ȳ 2 , . . .,ȳ n ) = 0.In order to obta<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> correction to <strong>the</strong> measured values, ∆⃗y, which yields <strong>the</strong> constra<strong>in</strong>tsto be fulfilled for <strong>the</strong> corrected measurements, <strong>the</strong> extrema <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> above equationsshould be found. Hence <strong>the</strong> Lagrange Multipliers method is used to determ<strong>in</strong>e<strong>the</strong> true values, ⃗y ′ = ⃗y + ∆⃗y, for which <strong>the</strong> constra<strong>in</strong>ts are fulfilled. At <strong>the</strong> same

Toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> Lagrange term, one could writea comb<strong>in</strong>ed likelihood expression, L(⃗y,⃗a, ⃗ λ), as followsL(⃗y,⃗a, ⃗ λ) = S(⃗y) + 2Σ m k=1 λ kf k (⃗y,⃗a),where ⃗ λ are <strong>the</strong> Lagrange Multipliers and S(⃗y) is <strong>the</strong> χ 2 term and is expressed explicitlyasS(⃗y) = ∆⃗y T V −1 ∆⃗y,where V is <strong>the</strong> covariance matrix <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> measured parameters.In order to f<strong>in</strong>d a local m<strong>in</strong>imum for <strong>the</strong> likelihood equation, one has to m<strong>in</strong>imize S(⃗y)under <strong>the</strong> constra<strong>in</strong>ts f k (⃗y,⃗a) = 0. Due to <strong>the</strong> non-l<strong>in</strong>earity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> physics constra<strong>in</strong>tswhich are used, one has to solve <strong>the</strong> constra<strong>in</strong>ts iteratively.S<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>the</strong> constra<strong>in</strong>ts are fulfilled <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> limit <strong>of</strong> true values, (⃗y ′ ,⃗a ′ ), <strong>the</strong>n f k (⃗y,⃗a) canbe expanded arount a desired value, for example could be <strong>the</strong> value obta<strong>in</strong>ed dur<strong>in</strong>g<strong>the</strong> previous iteration represented by (⃗y ∗ ,⃗a ∗ ), as followsf k (⃗y ′ ,⃗a ′ ) ≈ f k (⃗y ∗ ,⃗a ∗ ) + Σ p ∂f kj=1 .(∆a j − ∆a ∗∂aj) + Σ n ∂f ki=1 .(∆y i − ∆yi ∗ ) ≈ 0,j ∂y iwhere ⃗ X, ⃗ X ∗ and ⃗ X ′ , with X could be ei<strong>the</strong>r y or a, are respectively <strong>the</strong> start value,<strong>the</strong> value after <strong>the</strong> previous iteration and <strong>the</strong> value after <strong>the</strong> current iteration. Also<strong>the</strong> ∆ ⃗ X and ∆ ⃗ X ∗ are def<strong>in</strong>ed as ∆ ⃗ X = ⃗ X ′ − ⃗ X and ∆ ⃗ X ∗ = ⃗ X ∗ − ⃗ X. One can write<strong>the</strong> k<strong>in</strong>ematic constra<strong>in</strong>ts <strong>in</strong> vector notation⃗f ∗ + A(∆⃗a − ∆⃗a ∗ ) + B(∆⃗y − ∆⃗y ∗ ) ≈ 0,or equivalentlywithA∆⃗a + B∆⃗y −⃗c = 0,⎛ ⎞f 1 (⃗a ∗ ,⃗y ∗ )⃗c = A∆⃗a ∗ + B∆⃗y ∗ − f ⃗ ∗ ; f ⃗ ∗ f 2 (⃗a ∗ ,⃗y ∗ )= ⎜ ⎟⎝ . ⎠f m (⃗a ∗ ,⃗y ∗ )In <strong>the</strong> vector notaion, <strong>the</strong> matrices A and B are def<strong>in</strong>ed as A = ∂ f ⃗ and B = ∂ f ⃗∂⃗awhich <strong>the</strong>ir components are expressed explicitly below.⎛⎞∂f 1 ∂f 1 ∂f∂a 1 ∂a 2. . . 1∂a p∂f 2 ∂f 2 ∂fA =∂a 1 ∂a 2. . . 2∂a p⎜⎟⎝ .⎠∂f m ∂f∂a 2. . . m∂a p⎛B = ⎜⎝∂f m∂a 1∂f 1 ∂f 1∂y 1∂f 2 ∂f 2∂y 1.∂f m∂y 1∂y 2. . .∂y 2. . .∂f m∂y 2. . .∂f 1⎞∂y n∂f 2∂y n⎟⎠∂f m∂y n∂⃗y for
