Before cut

After cut

Threshold region becomes comparatively more important by the cuts.

𝑀 𝑡𝑡

Below threshold

We find

Cut efficiency below thresholdAverage cut eff. above threshold ~ factor 7

Main enhancements in• Jet veto constitute single jet• cut low mass• Lepton cuts spin 0 resonance

¿

Cross section below threshold ~ 1% Total cross section

Hence, (cross section) (cut efficiency) below threshold is estimated to be about 7% of that of above threshold region.

¿

Prediction of MC@NLO above threshold: Any Problem?• Slightly underestimates cross section.• Does not produce color-singlet .

At most 7% underestimate.

¿

Combining, at most +14% correction to the prediction by MC@NLO.

: (2-jets + mode)

Number of events after cuts is about 4-5 timeslarger by MC@NLO than by LO (MadEvent+PYTHIA).

¿

Main reasons for enhancements:• Production cross section of is larger at NLO than LO, especially close to threshold.• 2-jets (FB) tagging efficiency increases by hard ISR.• Efficiency of jet inv. mass cut () increases by hard ISR.

jet2

Similarly to fusion case, we estimate bound-state effects, using Toponium@LHC.

Correction to the prediction by MC@NLO is estimated to be at most +5%.

In our estimate, Asai et al. prediction of bkg is close to LO prediction.

Asai etal. • Produces upto 2-jets by matching: Cross section compared to LO.• Unpolarized decay: Lepton cuts efficiency compared to LO.• No Coulomb enhancement: Cross section compared to MC@NLO. • Use of PYTHIA: Jet cuts efficiencies compared to MC@NLO.

¿

¿

Below thresholdMC@NLO prediction is a good approx.

We conjecture that bkg increases significantly from Asai etal’s estimate.As a result, Higgs discovery potential via VBF may be degraded considerably.
