Top Quark Production and Decay at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurements of the top quark production cross section and decay properties by the CDF and D0 experiments are described. The cross section has been measured in dilepton, lepton plus jets, and all-hadronic final states, and a measurement of BR(t → Wb)/BR(t → Wq), where q is any quark, has been performed. The results, though statistics-limited, are consistent with each other and with theoretical predictions. To appear in the proceedings of the XXXIInd Rencontres de Moriond, Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories, Les Arcs, Savoie, France, March 15-22, 1997.

متن کاملCP Violation , Top Quarks and the Tevatron Upgrade
In order to observe a signal of possible CP violation in top-quark couplings, we study top-quark production and decay under the conditions of the Tevatron upgrade. Transverse energy asymmetries sensitive to CP violation are defined. Applying the recently proposed optimal method, we calculate the statistical significance for the direct observation of CP violation in the production and subsequent...
متن کاملSignatures for the Charged Higgs Decay of the Top Quark at the Tevatron
We investigate the effect that a charged Higgs decay channel for the top quark has on the signature for top quark pair production at the Tevatron. The branching ratios for the various multijet and multilepton final states arising from tt production are obtained for a wide range of values for tanβ and the charged Higgs boson mass. In addition, the effect of the charged Higgs decay of the top qua...
متن کاملGluon Radiation and Top Quark Physics
Radiation of gluons gives rise to extra jets in top quark events that can lead to complications in event reconstruction and mass measurement. I review recent results for gluon radiation in top quark production and decay, and discuss their implications for top quark physics. 1 Tevatron The presence of extra jets in t ¯ t events can complicate attempts to reconstruct the mass of the top quark fro...

متن کاملForward-backward asymmetries in top-antitop quark production at the Tevatron
We present the combined results on inclusive forward-backward asymmetries in the production of top-antitop quark pairs and their decay leptons. The analysis is based on measurements by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab pp Tevatron collider using all the data collected at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The measured asymmetries are in agreement with standard model predictions.
