WM (Nov 10): Mehdi update performance on vector portal model; Hyunyong update PU effect

WM (Nov 3): Discuss comments on AN from both conveners

WM (Oct 27): Discuss comments on AN from Stephane

WM (Oct 20): Hyunyong update PU distribution simulation uncertainty; Mehdi update mass scan for vector portal model

WM (Oct 13): Mehdi update

WM (Oct 6): update AN

WM (Sep 29): introduce a new cut on SA muon segments to reject SA induced background, improved data-to-mc agreement at CR

WM (Sep 22): removed a cut (leading alternative pair mass) on DY+QED because it cuts ALP signal

WM (Sep 15): Discuss comments from HToAA talk

HToAA WGM (Sep 11): Full update on 2018 analysis with MSSMD signals

Working Meeting (Aug 28): Showed results on mass windows based on 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% signal eff. and decide to use 90% consider all signals

Working Meeting (Aug 21): decided we cannot use window based on sigma; Result on mass windows based on desired signal effieicney (show one example: 90%)

Working Meeting (Aug 14): Results with CB sigma determined mass window, significance showed on signal;

Working Meeting (Aug 7): Mass window revisit (CB fit)

Working Meeting (Jul 31): Expected limits for 2018 and 2016+2018 combined.

Working Meeting (Jul 24): 2018 data model independent analysis with cut on Lxy (>0.1cm) to reject SA induced bkg; added cut to reject DY + QED BKG (leading alternative mass < 76GeV); can't cut b jets, model dependent

Working Meeting (Jul 10): Showed HLT remedy (DoubleL2Mu23 +3 other paths) for 2018, agreed to push for 2018 data model independent analysis, not push 2017 due to trigger issue

Working Meeting (Jun 26): 2017 BKG at control region: agreement b/t MC and data as number of standalone-only muon changes (2->1->0); demonstrated extra BKG in data comes from the SA-only mu.

HToAA WGM (Jun 22): Status report

Working Meeting (Jun 19): First time show 2017 BKG at control region at high mass and low mass with tuned vtx prob. cut

Working Meeting (Jun 12): First time show 2017 BKG at control region at high mass and low mass without any vtx prob. cut

Working Meeting (May 29): Study the efficiecny gain in signals if allow 1/2 SA-only muon in the 2 dimuons

Working Meeting (May 22): Allow 1/2 SA-only muon and vtx prob. distribution study

LLP Meeting (May 22): Muon POG update on displaced muon reconstruction

Working Meeting (May 15): Propose to include 1 SA-only in 2 dimu and preliminary studies on 1 displaced signal sample

Reconstruction issue of displaced muons in 2017/2018 centrally produced signal samples: Muon POG (May 11), HToAA WGM (May 8)

Working Meeting (May 1 ): Selection efficiencies on displaced signals of 2017/2018 (GEN matched); single muon isolation dependent on signal lifetime

Working Meeting (Apr 24 ): Checks of pT/eta/phi, dz, isolation, HLT efficiency relevant to some selections, need to use dimu iso

Working Meeting (Apr 17 ): First look at selection efficiencies on displaced signals of 2017/2018 (GEN NOT matched)

Working Meeting (Apr 10): Mehdi APS talk

Working Meeting (Apr 3): Mehdi update on new kinetic mixing model

Working Meeting (Feb 21): HToAA WGM comments, update data-driven validation results with toys experiment; NMSSM limit update

HToAA WGM (Feb 14): First full update at the WGM

Working Meeting (Feb 7): model independent limit update, shows brazilian plot (not necessary for our analysis ~0 bkg)

Working Meeting (Jan 31): 2018 bkg results and limits concepts

HToAA WGM (Jan 31): kickoff meeting, logistics update

Working Meeting (Jan 24): limit update
