Importance of PDFs at LHC At a hadron collider, cross
sections are a convolution of the partonic cross section with the PDFs.
PDFs are important for Standard Model physics, which will also be backgrounds to any new physics discovery: Higgs, Extra Dimensions…pA

Parton Kinematic Regime@LHC The kinematic regime at
the LHC is much broader than currently explored.
At the EW scale (ie W and Z masses) theoretical predictions for the LHC are dominated by low-x gluon uncertainty
At the TeV scale, uncertainties in cross section predictions for new physics are dominated by high-x gluon uncertainty
The x dependence of f(x,Q2) is determined by fits to data, the Q2 dependence is determined by the
DGLAP equations.Fits and evaluation of uncertainties
performed by CTEQ, MRST, ZEUS etc.

rejection, backgrounds etc.) (I.Dawson - Panic05,proc.)

Why measure b-PDF?
• bb->Z @ LHC is ~5% of entire Z production -> Knowing σZ to about 1% requires a b-pdf precision of the order of 20%
Now we have only HERA measurements, far from this precision

Systematic Effects
• Efficiency of b-tagging– To check b-tagging efficiency, we can
use b-enriched samples. Experience at Tevatron & LEP indicates that we can expect:
– Δεb/εb = 5%• Background from mistag
– Check mistagging on a sample where no b-quark jets should be present

• We use W+jet events, where there are not b jet– Jets will cover the
whole Pt range– Statistics 30x Z+j
(after selection of decays to muons)
• The relative error on background from mistagging can be kept at the level of few-% in each bin of the Pt range

Conclusions I• Precision Parton Distribution Functions are crucial for
new physics discoveries at LHC and to tune MonteCarlo studies: – PDF uncertainties can compromise discovery potential (HERA-
II: significant improvement to high-x PDF uncertainties)
• At LHC the major source of errors will not be statistic but systematic uncertainties
• To discriminate between conventional PDF sets we need to reach high experimental accuracy ( ~ few%) and to improve the detector performance and resolution
• Standard Model processes like Direct Photon, Z and W productions are good processes:– to constrain PDF’s at LHC, especially the gluon– to calibrate the detector

Conclusions II• Z+b measurement in ATLAS will be
possible with high statistics and good purity of the selected samples with two independent tagging methods
• We will have data samples to control systematic errors related to b-tagging at the few-% level over the whole jet Pt distribution– b-tagging efficiency– Mistagging: from W+jet
• Jet Calibration in situ: error within 1%

Event Selection Criteria for W+- ->l+- l
(TDR selection cuts)
• Electrons: |η| < 2.4 • Pt > 25 GeV
• Missing Et > 25 GeV
• To reject QCD bkg & high Pt W and Z due to I.S.R. :
– No reconstructed jets in the event with Pt > 30 GeV
– Recoil on transverse plane should satisfy |u|< 20 GeV-
W ->
Z -> e-e+
Z -> QCD 2->2

W Analysis (I) What is effect of including ATLAS W rapidity “pseudo-data” into
global PDF fits.
Created 1M “data” sample, generated using CTEQ6.1 PDF and simulate ATLAS detector response using ATLFAST. Correct back
to generator level using ZEUS-S PDF and use this “pseudo-data” in a global ZEUS-S PDF fit. Central value of ZEUS-S PDF
prediction shifts and uncertainty is reduced:
