Measurements of top quark decay properties
نویسنده
چکیده
I report on measurements of the properties of the top quark using data collected by the CDF and DØ detectors during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron. The helicity of the W boson arising from top quark decay, the top quark decay branching ratios, and the top quark charge have all been measured, and the results in all cases are consistent with standard model expectations.

Measurements of Top Quark Properties at Cdf
The top quark with its mass of about 172 GeV/c is the most massive fundamental particle observed by experiment. In this talk we highlight the most recent measurements of several top quark properties performed with the CDF detector based on data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities up to 1 fb. These results include a search for top quark pair production via new massive resonances, me...

متن کاملMeasurements of Top Quark Properties at the Tevatron
The top quark was discovered in 1995 1,2 by the CDF and D0 / collaborations. Its large mass suggest it is strongly associated with the mechanism of electro-weak symmetry breaking, and makes it the fermion with the largest coupling to the standard model (SM)-expected, but not yet found, Higgs boson. These reasons make the top quark potentially sensitive to new physics, which can be revealed thro...
متن کاملTop quark physics at hadron colliders
The top quark, discovered at the FERMILAB TEVATRON collider in 1995, is the heaviest known elementary particle. Today, ten years later, still relatively little is known about its properties. The strong and weak interactions of the top quark are not nearly as well studied as those of the other quarks and leptons. The strong interaction is most directly measured in top quark pair production. The ...
