چکیده

We present the final combination of CDF and D0 measurements of cross sections for single-top-quark production in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data correspond to total integrated luminosities of up to 9.7 fb^{-1} per experiment. The t-channel cross section is measured to be σ_{t}=2.25_{-0.31}^{+0.29} pb. We also present the combinations of the two-dimensional measurements of the s- vs t-channel cross section. In addition, we give the combination of the s+t channel cross section measurement resulting in σ_{s+t}=3.30_{-0.40}^{+0.52} pb, without assuming the standard model value for the ratio σ_{s}/σ_{t}. The resulting value of the magnitude of the top-to-bottom quark coupling is |V_{tb}|=1.02_{-0.05}^{+0.06}, corresponding to |V_{tb}|>0.92 at the 95% C.L.

Observation of single top quark production and measurement of vertical bar V-tb vertical bar with CDF

We report the observation of electroweak single top quark production in 3:2 fb À1 of p " p collision data collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab at ffiffi ffi s p ¼ 1:96 TeV. Candidate events in the W þ jets topology with a leptonically decaying W boson are classified as signal-like by four parallel analyses based on likelihood functions, matrix elements, neural networks, and boosted de...

Theoretical Progress in K and B Decays

We review several aspects of the recent theoretical progress in K and B decays including the impact of the top quark discovery on rare and CP violating decays. In particular we summarize the present status of next-to-leading QCD calculations in this field stressing their importance in the determination of the parameters in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix.

CKM quark - mixing matrix 1 11 . THE CABIBBO - KOBAYASHI - MASKAWA QUARK - MIXING MATRIX

Revised 1999 by F.J. Gilman (Carnegie-Mellon University), K. Kleinknecht and B. Renk (Johannes-Gutenberg Universität Mainz). In the Standard Model with SU(2) × U(1) as the gauge group of electroweak interactions, both the quarks and leptons are assigned to be left-handed doublets and right-handed singlets. The quark mass eigenstates are not the same as the weak eigenstates, and the matrix relat...

Search for flavor changing neutral currents in decays of top quarks

We present a search for flavor changing neutral currents in decays of top quarks. The analysis is based on a search for t ¯ t → ℓ ′ νℓ ¯ ℓ+jets (ℓ, ℓ ′ = e, µ) final states using 4.1 fb −1 of integrated luminosity of p¯ p collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV. We extract limits on the branching ratio B(t → Zq) (q = u, c quarks), assuming anomalous tuZ or tcZ couplings. We do not observe any sign of such...

Single Top Quark Production at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider

First evidence for single top quark production has recently been found by both the D0 and CDF experiments. By combining three analyses, D0 measured a cross section of σ (pp̄ → tb+X, tqb+X) = 4.7± 1.3 pb, with a significance of 3.6 standard deviations, and CDF’s matrix elements analysis measured a cross section of σ (pp̄ → tb+X, tqb+X) = 3.0 −1.1 pb, with a significance of 3.1 standard deviations....
