VBF Analysis Group Meeting

Longshen 

• Limits
  - What integrated luminosity did you assume?
  - Run without any systematic uncertainty and verify that the limit indeed changes by sqrt(10) when scaling the integrated lumi x10 or /10. 
  - Perform the same check (integrated lumi x10 or /10) with JECs uncty applied). How is the limit affected?
• VBF
  - clarify what the VBF selection is. 

Andrea

- Update the plots after removing duplicate events from the JetHT dataset. 
- Make a table of all systematics that are already Run 3 and the ones that are missing. 
- Add table of yields in signal region. (similar to https://cms-results.web.cern.ch/cms-results/public-results/publications/HIG-20-003/CMS-HIG-20-003_Table_0A8.pdf ) 

 Laurent:

• contact IC to understand their plans before the talk at Higgs rare

Chaochen

• Make the training using signal: ggH+VBF H, and background: EWK+strong Z and W (=4 backgrounds). should consider in the future to have 4 outputs instead of 2: EWK V, strong V, ggH, VBF H.

Aamir

• EGM SF: maybe try to fit a smaller (100/1000 x smaller) dataset? Maybe try to adapt the number of bins in the M(ee) distribution: instead of 1 bin/GeV, use 5 bins/GeV?
