W vs. QCD Jet Tagging at the Large Hadron Collider
High energy collisions of protons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce massive particles such as W, Z, Higgs bosons, and top quarks. A key task in the search for physics beyond the standard model is to study the kinematic configurations of these heavy particles. The massive particles are observed indirectly by the energy signature they generate. The heavy particles decay into quarks and g...
متن کاملImproving the measurement of the top quark mass.
Two possible ways to improve the mass resolution for observing hadronic top quark decay t → bW → 3 jets are studied: (1) using fixed cones in the rest frames of the t and W to define the decay jets, instead of the traditional cones in the rest frame of the detector; and (2) using the jet angles in the top rest frame to measure mt/mW . By Monte Carlo simulation, the second method is found to giv...
متن کاملPrecision Measurements of Particle Masses using Jets at LEP 2
How massive elementary particles get their mass is one of the greatest open questions in physics. Two of the major goals of the current LEP2 physics program that help to address this question are (a) to measure as precisely as possible the W Boson mass m W and (b) to exclude or discover the Higgs Boson within the available kinematic region. The reconstruction of invariant masses with jets from ...
متن کاملTop Mass Measurements from Jets and the Tevatron Top-Quark Mass
Theoretical issues are discussed for the measurement of the top-mass using jets, including perturbative and non-perturbative effects that relate experimental observables to the Lagrangian mass, and appropriate choices for mass schemes. Full account for these issues is given for ee → tt̄ using a factorization theorem for event shapes for massive quarks. Implications for the Tevatron top-mass meas...
متن کاملافت و خیزهای برداری حول جواب وسون
In Wesson's canonical model, the universe is assumed to be five dimensional (5D) empty space time. This model corresponds to a solution of the Einstein field equation in five dimensions which, from a four dimensional point of view, is equivalent to a universe with a positive cosmological constant. In this model, the fifth direction is perpendicular to the four dimensional space time and is not...
