Electroweak and Top Physics at the Tevatron and Indirect Higgs Limits
نویسنده
چکیده
We report a selection of the most recent CDF and D0 results on top quark and W and Z boson properties, based on Tevatron Run 2 data. The large datasets of W and Z bosons allow a very precise measurement of the W mass and detailed studies of vector boson production and asymmetries. Associated production of vector boson pairs has been observed and cross sections have been measured. The top quark is being studied in great detail, and a precision of 1.1% in the measurement of its mass has been achieved. The precise knowledge of top and W masses are constraining the allowed mass range of a standard model Higgs in an unprecedented way.

Top Quark Mass and Cross Section Results from the Tevatron
This note details recent measurements of the top mass and cross section that have been performed at the Tevatron. Most of these measurements have been performed with between 1.0 and 2.0 fb of data. Basic top physics concepts are discussed, cross section and mass analysis methods and results are presented, and future analysis prospects are discussed with a special attention given to Electroweak ...
متن کاملSUMMARY OF EXPERIMENTAL ELECTROWEAK PHYSICS a
Progress continues on many fronts of experimental testing of electroweak symmetry breaking. Updates were presented on LEP, SLC, Brookhaven g-2 ring, Tevatron Collider, HERA, CESR and Tevatron neutrino experiments. Perhaps most exciting is the Higgs search at LEP2, complementing the indirect constraints. However, the standard model with one Higgs doublet remains viable.
متن کاملPrecision Electroweak Tests of the Standard Model
The present status of precision electroweak data is reviewed. These data include measurements of ee → ff , taken at the Z resonance at LEP, which are used to determine the mass and width of the Z boson. In addition, measurements have also been made of the forward-backward asymmetries for leptons and heavy quarks, and also the final state polarisation of the τ -lepton. At SLAC, where the electro...
متن کاملMeasurement of the top quark mass at CMS
The top quark mass is an important parameter of the standard model (SM) and it affects predictions of SM observables via radiative corrections. A precise measurement of the top quark mass is crucial since it constitutes one of the most important inputs to the global electroweak fits [1], which provide constraints on the model itself, including indirect limits on the mass of the Higgs boson. The...
متن کاملThe effective Standard Model after LHC Run I
We treat the Standard Model as the low-energy limit of an effective field theory that incorporates higher-dimensional operators to capture the effects of decoupled new physics. We consider the constraints imposed on the coefficients of dimension-6 operators by electroweak precision tests (EWPTs), applying a framework for the effects of dimension6 operators on electroweak precision tests that is...
