Single Top Production and Top Properties at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
We summarize recent measurements made at the Tevatron Collider using top event candidates. Cross section and mass measurements are discussed in a separate contribution to these Proceedings. Here we report on studies of the top PT distribution in tt production and studies of single top production. Properties of top decays examined are: BF(t → Wb)/BF(t → Wq), helicity amplitudes of W’s from top decays and correlations of tt decay products. Searches for new physics in rare top decays and a search for a state X → tt are also reported.

Mc Simulations for Top Pair and Single Top Production at the Tevatron
— Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are indispensable tools for top quark physics, both at the current Tevatron collider and the upcoming Large Hadron Collider. In this paper we review how the Tevatron experiments CDF and DØ utilize MC simulations for top quark analyses. We describe the standard MC generators used to simulate top quark pair and single top quark production, followed by a discussion o...
متن کاملTop Production Properties at the Tevatron
Following the confirmation of the top quark discovery at the Tevatron, the next step is to begin studying its properties. Because the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is of the same order as the measured top mass, the top quark may be very sensitive to new physics. We describe measurements of the total tt̄ cross section, the tt̄ invariant mass, the top transverse momentum distribution, and ...

متن کاملTop Quark Production and Properties at the Tevatron
The precise measurement of top quark production and properties is one of the primary goals of the Tevatron during Run II. The total tt̄ production crosssection has been measured in a large variety of decay channels and using different selection criteria. Results from differential cross-section measurements and searches for new physics in tt̄ production and top quark decays are available. Electrow...
