    3525Three "black boxes" are given, in the form of event files in the LHC Olympics format and a series of selected plots:

    4131Black boxes contain only signal events. The students are asked to pair up the boxes above with the following models and also answer to the questions:
    4232
    43     Model 1 : Extra Z (zp) : What its mass? Does it have Standard Model couplings to fermions?
    44     Model 2 : Heavy Scalar (h): What its mass? Is it a SM Higgs?
    45     Model 3 : Extra W (wp+ or wp-) : What its mass? Does it have Standard Model couplings to fermions?
     33    * Model 1 : Extra Z (zp) : What its mass? Does it have Standard Model couplings to fermions?
     34    * Model 2 : Heavy Scalar (h): What its mass? Is it a SM Higgs?
     35    * Model 3 : Extra W (wp+ or wp-) : What its mass? Does it have Standard Model couplings to fermions?

    4737Useful extra information:
    4838
    49     In the plots $H_T=\sum ||p_T^{vis}|| + E_T^{miss}$.
    50     A SM-like Z' would decay (more or less democratically) into: jet jet (uu~,cc~,dd~,ss~,bb~), t tbar (tt~), lept+lept- (e+e-,mu+mu-,ta+ta-), neutrino anti-neutrino (ve ve~,vm vm~,vt vt~). It could also have couplings to SM W and Z, and in that case would decay in to ZZ and W+W-.
    51     An Higgs couple to particles with a strength which is proportional to the particle masses. A SM-like heavy H would decay in to t tbar (tt~), W+W-, ZZ.
    52     A SM-like W'+ would decay into: jet jet (ud~,cs~), t b (tb~), lept neutrino (e+ ve , mu+ vm, ta+ vt). It could also have couplings to SM W and Z, and in that case would decay in to ZW.
