Consistency checks
-
B0 lifetime, dm and chi_d - Measure tau and dm both floating and
with one fixed to PDG(BaBar?) value.
-
Split MC sample into data size samples - Can't do this too much
with generics, signal MC is quite large.
-
MC truth fits - test event selection bias.
-
Counting experiment - ensure the values of tau, dm and chi_d are
consistent.
-
MC counting to determine mistag, delta_mistag - compare counting/fit
to MCtruth/full fit
-
Fit for dm based just on Dt shape - remove requirement that
tau and dm be consistent. You can fit for dm using: just mixed event,
just unmixed events, bRec, bbarRec,bTag,bbarTag.
-
Do fit broken down by tagging category - actually we will always
do this, just make sure the results are consistent.
-
B0 vs B0bar - ensure dm and tau are consistent.
-
Resolution model - check the sensitivity of dm, tau to resolution
model. Do the fit with GExp, 3G and maybe 2G also.
-
Mistag vs per-event-error - I assume we will use a functional form
to describe the kaon mistag rate as a function of per-event-error.
Check extreme values of the slope parameter in the mistag relation for
its effect on dm, tau.
Systematic studies
-
Dt range - see how sensitive dm and tau are to cutting on Dt range.
-
Per-event-error range - how sensitive to the per-event-error cut
at 1.8 ps.
-
Resolution function - how much does our choice of resolution function
affect the result. If we fix some parameters - how much does that
affect the result.
-
B+/B0 lifetime fraction - how does fixing this fraction affect results.
-
B+/B0 mistag rate fraction - how does this affect results.
-
z scale - standard number common to many analysis.
-
z boost - determine the bias due to our boost approximation and
associated systematic.
-
beamspot position
-
background Dt distribution - done for each background
-
choice of background pdf
-
resolution parameters
-
background fraction determination
-
assumption that peaking background have same shape as signal
