Example analysis used for the Awesome Workshop: Glossary

Example analysis used as common baseline for learning the technologies discussed at the workshop

This analysis studies decays of a Higgs boson into two tau leptons in the final state of a muon lepton and a hadronically decayed tau lepton

Analysis studies Higgs boson decays to two tau leptons with a muon and a hadronic tau in the final state

The analysis estimates all processes but QCD directly from simulation

We reduce the initial datasets by filtering suitable events and the selection of the interesting observables.

This step includes finding the interesting muon-tau pair in each selected event.

We produce histograms of all physics processes and all observables.

All histograms are produced in a signal region with opposite-signed muon-tau pairs and in a control region with same-signed pairs for the data-driven QCD estimate

The plotting combines all histograms to produce estimates of the physical processes and create a figure with a physical meaning.

The plots show the share of the contributing physical processes to the data.

We do not include any systematic uncertainties in this example.

The measurement fits for the signal strength (multiplier of the Standard Model expectation) of the Z to two tau lepton process.

Run the analysis by yourself to understand the different steps.
