Takahiro Mizuno - Study of A_LR using radiative return events at ILC250
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
primary physics goal of ILC250: Higgs couplings, and whether they deviate from SM values
corrections are of order a*mH^2/M^2: a coefficient order 1, M mass of new particle -> need measurements with 1% precision

SMEFT: Lorentz-invariant, SU(2)xU(1) dim-6 operators conserving CP: there are only 10
useful observables: Higgs processes, but also W/Z boson EWPO, e.g., ALR at Z pole

deviation of ALR from SM contains three terms
one can write gL and gR coupling constants (they are different), and that gives rise to ALR
current best measurement has ~1% precision; need full detector simulation to figure out uncertainty at ILC250

generating 900/fb for each of the two polarization combinations, mixing angle set to 0.22225 (correspond to ALR=0.219298)
signal is e+e- -> Z gamma -> 2jets + gamma

signal event: radiative return w/ photon escaping into beam pipe: cosine polar angle of photon is >0.999; m(Z)  between 80 and 120GeV

backgrounds: 4-fermion single-W, 4-fermion single-Z, WW...

suppress backgrounds with cut on number of photons >50GeV (require 0), on visible energy (between 120 and 160GeV), di-jet mass (between 50 and 160GeV)
require also cosine angle between two jets and photon (i.e., all tracks that form the 2 jets?) to be >0.95
photon is very forward, expected to be in opposite region w.r.t. the two jets from Z

S/B~1/0.02 for e- -0.8 and e+ +0.3 polarization
S/B~1/0.006 for e- +0.8 and e+ -0.3 polarization 
efficiency is 75% in both cases, very similar

plots of m(2jet) signal and background: indeed see mostly signal

LR precision: L and R in asymmetry are defined for 100% polarization; rewrite formula when polarizations are not 100%, get additional factor
ALR precision gets contribution from ALR_observed and uncertainty on additional factor

assume uncertainty on polarizations of e+ and e- are independent to calculate uncertainty on additional factor
ALR_observed uncertainty: get formula for uncertainty (note that correlated parts of uncertainties cancel in the ratio)

final conclusion: can get uncertainty of order 10 better than SLC if uncorrelated part of uncertainties (on product of efficiency and luminosity) remains below 0.006%
other uncertainty contributions:
polarization error: assume 0.1%
luminosity, efficiency: assume negligible

Ayres: nice to see progress with full simulation! two questions: is target of 0.006% realistic? stability of luminosity over time will be important? luminosity will need to be 
monitored when one changes polarization; any sense on how well we can monitor that?
TM: mostly expect that to be in correlated part
Junping Tian: number does look challenging; at the end care for ratio; suggest to calculate uncertainty if one achieves 0.1%

Jurgen Reuter: question on event selection; cut broad window on dijet mass; is S/B good enough, or one could optimize? (slide 12, see picking up more background than signal on 
left plot)

Jacob Beyer: I am working on the same samples on something similar, nice to see this; have question on this mass range: to which extent it makes sense to integrate ALR over 
such a big mass region (50-160GeV)? ALR varies a lot around Z pole; is this useful from theoretical point of view?
TM: if we integrate over full range, deviation of ALR is expected to be small
Junping: now mentioned average, but useful part is as close as possible to Z pole; other parts affected by photon, and symmetry disappears there
Ayres: theoretically, in principle well defined, whether one uses effective operators (as here) or effective coupling; question is what is goal and strategy: ALR, when one puts 
in photon, changes sign: if one integrates over wide window, partially washing out asymmetry; binned analysis could be more powerful
Junping: when going too far from pole, also get effect of 4-fermion operators
Ayres: related to my second question: background small, estimated with SM, and subtracted; would be good to have data-driven estimate, if possible; slide 12: shape of signal 
and background very different, one could do differential analysis of mass and do model-independent background subtraction

Jurgen Reuter: note that 4-fermion operators give flat distribution; one could also add events that are not-radiative returns and compare: 4-fermion would contribute in same 
way to both (use to constrain 4-fermion contribution)
Ayres: ZZ background is the only one that gives a real peak too, would need to look at visible part of the other Z
Jurgen: also H
Ayres: indeed, decay to invisible small in SM, but shall be complete

Junping Tian - Status of global SMEFT fits for Snowmass
-------------------------------------------------------
goal of white paper: coherent projections on precision EW/top/Higgs couplings at future colliders

ongoing (and completed) work:
chapter 4 contains individual directions: this is done (Jiayin)
chapter 5: 4-fermion operators: Yong Du will report in next talk
chapter 7: top quark operators: yesterday presentation at EF03

photon and muon colliders not in original plan, but could add if there is interest

important part: need to update the inputs (responsibility of topical groups)

recent progress:
independent fitting codes exist in group, need to agree on conventions and operator basis: go for original Warsaw, w/ same assumptions and inputs (nominal inputs from ESG, 
statistically consistent, not so much the systematic part)
flavor assumptions: complicate discussion, lots to assume; however, seems can relax lepton flavor universality (LFU) and get some promising results
fit is split in different sectors: EWK/Higgs fit updated (w.r.t. ESG), working on low-energy stage of future e+e-
global fit for 4-fermion operators; top inclusion

Fit-1: EWK and Higgs: slide with summary of operator basis, observable (alpha, GF, mZ; e+e- -> WW optimal observable; Higgs cross sections; Drell-Yan), assumptions (no 4-
fermion; flavor diagonal; CP even; w/ and w/o LFU and Higgs exotic decays)
tables with EWPO inputs needed, from ILC and FCC-ee
discussion about uncertainty on Ab: FCC-ee much worse than ILC; GigaZ option could help here? Ae can be determined using tau polarization (hence small uncertainty)
tables with Higgs input

plots with preliminary bounds using ILC250
four flavors of fit
for now assuming U(2) on quark generation 1 and 2, likely to be completely eased 
four operators for each generation, using Gamma(Z->f) and Gamma(W->f)
Ruc: EWK charge of u and d different, can use to calculate asymmetry
ALR
suggestion to use AFB at LHC as additional input

plot with bounds on effective couplings, based on partial widths (Z, W, H)
plot for ILC250, HL-LHC + LEP, and FCC 240GeV (also add HL-LHC to ILC250 and FCC

Jurgen: chapter 9.4, impact of photon collider, what about e-e- option? could that add anything? goal is lepton flavor violation; wondering if it were useful to add
JT: there is some interest, but no follow up? shall investigate

CP-odd: one of them already studied experimentally, but not so much others: would need help to study

Yong Du - Global fit for 4-fermion operators & operators at Z-pole
------------------------------------------------------------------
framework: turns out that in 4-fermion case, Higgs basis is more convenient for calculations than the Warsaw one

currently using only flavor-conserving operators
there are 3 operators for one flavor (x3), and 6 for two flavors (x3)

list of Z-pole observables and W-pole observables: BR, asymmetries, widths, cross sections
in Z case: axial-vector terms; not including in fit some Z BR

more observables:
cross section e+e- -> mu-mu+ / tau+tau-
differential Bhabha cross section (vs cos\theta)
GF from tau decay
Michel parameters from polarized muon decays

updates: Michel parameters from EF04 meeting
differential Bhabha: there was problem, fixed

strategy: keep only linear order in EFT, and do chi2 fit
optimistic scenario: one operator at a time
conservative scenario: use full correlation among observables

general conclusion from fit: if one only considers one operator at a time, get much stronger constraint than when considering all operators
some exception: Z->tautau coupling and Michel parameters from polarized tau decays (very weak correlation with other operators; expect situation to improve when Michel 
parameters from polarized tau will be available)

future colliders as precision machines: projections for inputs on EWPO
used inputs in table, from de Blas, Durieux, Grojean, Gu, Paul, JHEP 2019

summary of results
delta-g: see that FCC will be slightly better than CEPC, but situation will change when some updates will be included
CLIC and ILC very similar; in general circular colliders seem to perform better than linear ones

see in some cases that optimistic and conservative are the same, or only optimistic
due to correlations among operators

slide with table of correlations among correlators

final slide: comment: C1133 and 3311: can break degeneracy using beam polarization (missing projections; good to include them to lift degeneracy)
no constraints on C2222: muon collider or muon-nu_mu scattering?

Junping: fit now includes W and Z poles, there is good assumption that there are no 4-fermion at W and Z pole; suggest to fit data with only 4-fermion and both, to see if Z 
pole part is constrained well enough
YD: plan to do

Ayres: plan to look at boson production at future colliders?
YD: yes

Ayres: Junping's comment: no need to float all operators, can make life easier; one can also break some degeneracies of 4-fermion can be broken by looking at Z pole vs 
somewhere else

Jakob Beyer: confused by one thing: circular colliders achieve same precision in optimistic case, then they perform better than linear colliders when one includes correlations; 
is not usually the other way around? circular more lumi -> higher precision; linear beam polarization -> reduce correlations

updates to table with observables: difficult (quite late)
now know luminosity and energies: could ask for at least update of statistical uncertainty
Junping: some of the numbers could be updated
really want to expand to 4-fermion operators, so this is very important input
Jurgen Reuter: there also some new studies, definitely not included in this document
Junping: those are probably included in EF03, we need here all flavors

some new updates in projections for C2222, and top?
There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
