Early Top Physics with ATLAS
نویسنده
چکیده
The ATLAS detector is one of the two multi-purpose experiments located at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and is expected to collect first collision data in summer 2009. Due to the large top-quark production cross-section the LHC will function as a top-quark factory allowing to measure top-quark properties even at initial luminosities. We present some recently-performed studies, focussing on measurements of the top pair and single top production cross-sections with the first fb of data. The potential for the measurement of other top-quark properties like the mass will be also briefly discussed.

QCD and Top Quark Physics at the LHC
The expected performance of the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in QCD and top quark measurements is discussed, with a focus on the early data taking phase. Such processes are amongst the primary backgrounds in the searches for new physics, and thus must be understood very well before discoveries can be made. In addition, they serve as useful detector calibration cand...
متن کاملTop Physics at ATLAS and CMS
The potential for top quark physics of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider is surveyed ranging from top quark " re-discovery " and its use as a calibration tool to initial and later stage measurements.
متن کاملStandard Model Physics with ATLAS and CMS
The study of Standard Model (SM) physics is crucial at the LHC for several reasons. Before any discovery can be claimed a detailed understanding of the detectors should be reached and benchmark SM processes should be measured. A precise measurement of the various parameters is needed as a consistency check of the SM. Moreover, SM processes can be directly sensitive to new physics, they will all...
متن کاملSingle Top production at LHC
on behalf of CMS and ATLAS collaborations Institute for studies in theoretical physics and mathematics (IPM), Production of single top quarks at LHC provides a perfect possibility to investigate the properties of electroweak interaction, in particular tWb coupling. Moreover, single top is a powerful mean to identify physics beyond the standard model. All three different production mechanisms of...
متن کاملTop Quark Physics At Hadron Colliders
I summarize here the latest top quark physics results from the ATLAS, CDF, CMS and D0 collaborations , first discussing the top quark production and then some of the latest top quark property measurements. These results are based on up to 5.4 fb −1 at the Tevatron and up to 1.10 fb −1 at the LHC.
