چکیده

Preliminary results on the measurement of the top quark mass at the Tevatron Col-lider are presented. In the dilepton decay channel, the CDF Collaboration measures mt=175.0 +17.4 −16.9 (stat.)±8.4(syst.) GeV/c 2 , using a sample of ∼126 pb −1 of proton-antiproton collision data at √ s = 1.96 TeV (Run II). In the lepton plus jets channel, the CDF Collaboration measures 177.5 +12.7 −9.4 (stat.)±7.1(syst.) GeV/c 2 , using a sample of ∼102 pb −1 at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The DØ Collaboration has newly applied a likelihood technique to improve the analysis of ∼125 pb −1 of proton-antiproton collisions at √ s = 1.8 TeV (Run I), with the result: mt=180.1±3.6(stat.)±3.9(syst.) GeV/c 2. The latter is combined with all the measurements based on the data collected in Run I to yield the most recent and comprehensive experimental determination of the top quark mass: mt = 178.0±2.7(stat.)±3.3(syst.) GeV/c 2 .

Ju n 19 97 Top quark mass measurements from the Tevatron

We review the measurements of the top quark mass by the CDF and DØ collaborations using Run I data in excess of 100 pb−1. The DØ collaboration [1] has recently updated its measurement of the top quark mass in the lepton + jets channel. The world average of the top quark mass from the CDF [2] and DØ measurements in the lepton + jets channel now stands at 175.6 ± 5.5 GeV/c2.

Combination of CDF and DØ Results on the Mass of the Top Quark The Tevatron Electroweak Working Group 1 for the CDF and DØ Collaborations

We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and DØ experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run-I (1992-1996) measurements with the most recent preliminary Run-II (2001-present) measurements using up to 750 pb −1 of data. Taking correlated uncertainties properly into account the resulting preliminary world average mass of the top quark is M t = 172.5 ± 1.3(stat) ± 1.9(syst) G...

Combination of CDF and D 0 Measurements of the Single Top Production Cross Section The Tevatron Electroweak Working Group 1 for the CDF and DØ Collaborations

We report a combination of the CDF and D0 measurements of the inclusive single top quark production cross section in the sand t-channels, σ s+t , in p¯ p collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The total integrated luminosity included in CDF's analysis is 3.2 fb −1 and D0's analysis has 2.3 fb −1. A Bayesian analysis is used to extract the cross section from the distributions of mult...

Top Quark Mass Measurements at the Tevatron

The general strategy, as well as channel-specific details, applied to the measurement of the top quark mass at the Tevatron in Run I are reviewed, and the combination of the results obtained by the CDF and DØ collaborations presented. The accelerator and detector upgrades for Run II are described, and expected improvements in the systematic uncertainties on the measurement evaluated.

Top Pair Production Iii: Testing the Standard Model in Top Quark Decays

The set of quarks expected in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics was fully observed in 1995 with the discovery of the top quark by the CDF and DØ collaborations. All quantum numbers of the top quark except the mass are expected to be identical to those of the other two up-type quarks. Within the Standard Model these quantities fully define the production and decay properties of the top...
