Measurement of the W-boson Helicity Fractions in Top-quark Decays at Cdf
We present a measurement of the fractions F0 and F+ of longitudinally polarized and righthandedW bosons in top-quark decays using data collected with the CDF II detector. The data set used in the analysis corresponds to an integrated luminosity of approximately 955 pb. We select tt̄ candidate events with one lepton, at least four jets, and missing transverse energy. Our helicity measurement uses...
متن کاملTop Cross Section and Standard Model Properties at CDF
We present recent results on top quark pair production cross section in several final states as well as a spin correlations measurement and two W-helicity measurements from the CDF detector at the Tevatron pp̄ collider operating at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The most precise single tt̄ cross section measurement, in the lepton+jets final state, using a Neural Network kinematic fit, yields a value of 6.8 ± 0....
متن کاملPossibilities of tt̄H Event Reconstruction
A light Standard Model Higgs boson can be produced in association with tt̄ in the process pp → tt̄H and detected in the final state bb̄bb̄qq̄lν. The cross section of this channel is not large, but there are only few sources of Standard Model background with similar event structures. Here we investigate how the correct b jets can be selected in view of H mass reconstruction. We discuss three methods ...
متن کاملTop Polarization at a μ + μ − Collider 1
The top quark pairs produced at a polarized muon collider are in a (nearly) pure spin configuration. This result holds for all center-of-mass energies, and is insensitive to the next-to-leading order QCD radiative corrections. The decay products of a polarized top quark show strong angular correlations. We describe an interesting interference effect between the left-handed and longitudinally po...
متن کاملLooking for Signals of New Physics in the Top quark samples with the CDF detector
Twelve years after the discovery of the Top quark, the CDF detector has collected large samples of tt̄ events with integrated luminosities up to 1-1.7 fb, where we are able to probe our knowledge of the Standard Model Top quark. This article will foccuss on those analysis results dedicated to find new physics in the Top quark production: measurement of relative fractions of Top pair production m...
