Polarized Tops from Stop Decays at the LHC
In supersymmetric models, scalar top quarks, or stops, generically have parity-violating couplings to top quarks. As a result, tops produced in stop decays should be polarized. In this paper, we will argue that this effect may be observable at the LHC with realistic integrated luminosities, provided that one of the stops is copiously produced and can decay to a top and a neutralino. We define t...
متن کاملStrategies to Identify Boosted Tops
We study techniques for identifying highly boosted top jets, where the subsequent top decay products are not isolated. For hadronic boosted tops, we consider variables which probe the jet substructure in order to reduce the background from QCD jets with large invariant mass. Substructure variables related to two-body kinematics are least sensitive to the modeling of parton shower, while those w...
متن کاملStop Reconstruction with Tagged Tops
At the LHC combinatorics make it unlikely that we will be able to observe stop pair production with a decay to a semi-leptonic top pair and missing energy for generic supersymmetric mass spectra. Using a Standard-Model top tagger on fully hadronic top decays we can not only extract the stop signal but also measure the top momentum. To illustrate the promise of tagging tops with moderate boost w...
متن کاملMeasuring the Polarization of Boosted Hadronic Tops
We propose a new technique for measuring the polarization of hadronically decaying boosted top quarks. In particular, we apply a subjet-based technique to events where the decay products of the top are clustered within a single jet. The technique requires neither b-tagging nor W -reconstruction, and does not rely on assumptions about either the top production mechanism or the sources of missing...
متن کاملSemileptonic Decays at Sld
The lifetimes of B + and B 0 mesons have been measured using a sample of 150,000 hadronic Z 0 decays collected by the SLD experiment at the SLC between 1993 and 1995. The analysis identiies the semileptonic decays of B mesons with high p; p t leptons and reconstructs the B meson decay length and charge by v ertexing the lepton with a partially reconstructed D meson. This method results in a sam...
