Gluon Radiation in tt̄ Production and Decay at the LHC

چکیده
Understanding the pattern of gluon radiation in tt̄ production and decay processes is important for making an accurate determination of the top mass from the momenta of its decay products. The larger energy of the LHC pp collider boosts the top cross section by a factor of 100 compared to that at the Tevatron, but it also increases the amount of additional gluon radiation. We calculate the cross section for gluon radiation in top production and decay at the LHC. The distributions of this radiation are presented and the exact matrix-element results are compared with results from the HERWIG parton-

On Gluon Radiation in tt̄ Production and Decay
Understanding the pattern of gluon radiation in tt̄ production processes is important for making an accurate determination of the top mass from the measurement of its decay products. In a recent paper we showed that the exact matrix element and parton shower (HERWIG) calculations gave very different results for the distribution of gluon jets in tt̄ production at the Tevatron pp̄ collider. By repea...
متن کاملWeak interaction corrections to hadronic top quark pair production
In this paper we determine the weak-interaction corrections of order αs α to hadronic top-quark pair production. First we compute the one-loop weak corrections to tt̄ production due to gluon fusion and the order αs α corrections to tt̄ production due to (anti)quark gluon scattering in the Standard Model. With our previous result [20] this yields the complete corrections of order αs α to gg, qq̄, q...
متن کاملDetecting heavy charged Higgs bosons at the LHC with triple b-tagging
We investigate the charged Higgs boson signal at the LHC using its dominant production and decay modes with triple b-tagging, i.e. tH → tt̄b → bb̄bWW, followed by leptonic decay of oneW and hadronic decay of the other. We consider the continuum background from the associated production of tt̄ with a bor a light quark or gluon jet, which can be mis-tagged as b-jet. We reconstruct the top quark mass...
متن کاملSearching for tt̄ Resonances at the Large Hadron Collider
Many new physics models predict resonances with masses in the TeV range which decay into a pair of top quarks. With its large cross section, tt̄ production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) offers an excellent opportunity to search for such particles. We present a detailed study of the discovery potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider for Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations of the gluon in bulk R...
متن کاملGluon Radiation and Top Width Effects
The large width of the top quark influences the way gluons are radiated in top events, giving rise to interesting interference effects in top production and decay. We discuss top width effects in soft guon radiation in e+e− → tt̄ at high energies and near tt̄ threshold.
