چکیده
A simpler neural-network approach is presented for the analysis of the top quark non-leptonic decay channel in events of the D0 Collaboration. Results for the top quark signal are comparable to those found by the D0 Collaboration by a more elaborate handling of the event information used as input to the neural network. R.

متن کاملSearch for Single Top Quark Production at the D0 Experiment using Bayesian Neural Networks
We present the methodology used to measure the single top quark production cross section in the D0 experiment, and show as an example the results that led to the first evidence of single top quark production in D0 at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The selected events are mostly backgrounds, which we separate from the expected signals using three multivariate analysis techniqu...
متن کاملMeasurements of Top Quark Properties at the Tevatron
The top quark was discovered in 1995 1,2 by the CDF and D0 / collaborations. Its large mass suggest it is strongly associated with the mechanism of electro-weak symmetry breaking, and makes it the fermion with the largest coupling to the standard model (SM)-expected, but not yet found, Higgs boson. These reasons make the top quark potentially sensitive to new physics, which can be revealed thro...
متن کاملHeavy Top Quark Searches in the Di-lepton Mode at the Tevatron
We present the results of a detailed study of the effects of b-tagging on the heavy top-quark signal and backgrounds for the modes of the di-lepton plus two high transverse energy jets at the Fermilab Tevatron. The general characteristics of the heavy top-quark signal events are also discussed so that a comparison can be made between b-tagging and imposing stringent kinematical cuts to eliminat...
متن کاملNew Hints for Testing Anomalous Top-Quark Interactions at Future Linear Colliders
Angular and energy distributions for leptons and bottom quarks in the process ee → tt̄ → l/ (−) b · · · have been calculated assuming the most general top-quark couplings. The double distributions depend both on modification of the tt̄ production and (−) t → (−) b W decay vertices. However, the leptonic angular distribution turned out to be totally insensitive to non-standard parts of Wtb vertex....
