Measurement of the Higgs boson inclusive and differential fiducial production cross sections in the diphoton decay channel with pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
Distribution of the output of the photon identification MVA for the probe candidate in a Z → ee tag-and-probe sample for data and the MadGraph 5_aMC@NLO simulation. The electrons have been reconstructed as photons and a selection to reduce the number of misidentified photons in data is applied. The simulated events have been reweighted with respect to pT, η, ϕ, and ρ to match data in order to remove effects from mismodelled kinematic variables. Electrons that are detected in the barrel (|η|< 1.4442) or endcap (|η|> 1.566) part of the ECAL and the corresponding distributions are shown on the left or right, respectively. The blue band shows the systematic uncertainty assigned to the data simulation mismatch of the output of the photon identification MVA. The orange histogram and points in the upper and lower plots, respectively, show the photon identification MVA distribution and its ratio to data evaluated using the uncorrected version of its input variables in simulation.
