Convolution Formula and Finite W Boson Width Effects in Top Quark Width Received Day Month Year Revised Day Month Year
In the standard model, the top quark decay width Γt is computed from the exclusive t → bW decay. We argue in favor of using the three body decays t → bf i ¯ f j to compute Γt as a sum over these exclusive modes. As dictated by the S-matrix theory, these three body decays of the top quark involve only asymptotic states and incorporate the width of the W boson resonance in a natural way. The conv...
متن کاملFinite-Width Effects in Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders
Production cross sections for tt̄ and tt̄j events at hadron colliders are calculated, including finite width effects and off resonance contributions for the entire decay chain, t → bW → blν, for both top quarks. Resulting background rates to Higgs search at the CERN LHC are updated for inclusive H → WW studies and for H → ττ and H → WW decays in weak boson fusion events. Finite width effects are ...
متن کاملDirect measurement of the W boson width.
We present a direct measurement of the width of the W boson using the shape of the transverse mass distribution of W --> enu candidate events. Data from approximately 1 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity recorded at square root of s = 1.96 TeV by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp collider are analyzed. We use the same methods and data sample that were used for our recently published W bo...
متن کاملTop Quark, W-boson and Light Higgs
The top quark, the W-boson and the Higg boson form an interesting triptych of elementary particles. In the Standard Model knowing the mass of two of these particles, usually the top quark and W-boson, we can predict the mass of the third, the Higgs boson. Therefore in this proceedings I will primarily cover the following topics, top quark physics, W-boson mass and the light Higgs boson at the p...
متن کاملDirect top-quark width measurement at CDF.
We present a measurement of the top-quark width in the lepton+jets decay channel of tt events produced in p p collisions at Fermilab's Tevatron collider and collected by the CDF II detector. From a data sample corresponding to 4.3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity, we identify 756 candidate events. The top-quark mass and the mass of the hadronically decaying W boson that comes from the top-quark ...
