pyhs3.distributions.QQZZBackgroundDist

class pyhs3.distributions.QQZZBackgroundDist(**data)

CMS qqZZ background distribution.

Implements CMS’s qqZZ background model used in Higgs to ZZ analyses. This distribution models the continuum background from quark-antiquark to ZZ production.

\[f(m_{4\ell}; a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4) = a_1 \cdot (m_{4\ell} + a_2)^{a_3} \cdot \exp(-a_4 \cdot m_{4\ell})\]

Parameters:

• m4l (str) – Four-lepton invariant mass variable.

• a1 (str) – Normalization parameter.

• a2 (str) – Mass shift parameter.

• a3 (str) – Power law exponent.

• a4 (str) – Exponential decay parameter.

Note

This is specific to CMS’s qqZZ background modeling in H->ZZ->4l analyses.

Parameters:

data (Any)

__init__(**data)

Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.

Raises [ValidationError][pydantic_core.ValidationError] if the input data cannot be validated to form a valid model.

self is explicitly positional-only to allow self as a field name.

Parameters:

data (Any)

Methods

__init__(**data)	Create a new model by parsing and validating input data from keyword arguments.
construct([_fields_set])
copy(*[, include, exclude, update, deep])	Returns a copy of the model.
dict(*[, include, exclude, by_alias, ...])
expression(context)	Builds a symbolic expression for the qqZZ background PDF.
from_orm(obj)
get_parameter_list(context, param_key)	Reconstruct a parameter list from flattened indexed keys.
json(*[, include, exclude, by_alias, ...])
model_construct([_fields_set])	Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.
model_copy(*[, update, deep])	!!! abstract "Usage Documentation"
model_dump(*[, mode, include, exclude, ...])	!!! abstract "Usage Documentation"
model_dump_json(*[, indent, include, ...])	!!! abstract "Usage Documentation"
model_json_schema([by_alias, ref_template, ...])	Generates a JSON schema for a model class.
model_parametrized_name(params)	Compute the class name for parametrizations of generic classes.
model_post_init(context, /)	This function is meant to behave like a BaseModel method to initialise private attributes.

process_parameter(param_key)	Process a single parameter that can be either a string reference or numeric value.
process_parameter_list(param_key)	Process a list parameter containing mixed string references and numeric values.
schema([by_alias, ref_template])
schema_json(*[, by_alias, ref_template])
update_forward_refs(**localns)
validate(value)
