Top Quark Pair Production and Properties Measurements at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
The Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab with its centre of mass energy of 1.96 TeV is currently the only source for the production of top quarks. This report reflects the current status of measurements of the top quark pair production cross section and properties performed by the CDF and DØ Collaborations. Utilising datasets of up to two fb, these measurements allow unprecedented precision in probing the validity of the Standard Model.

Mc Simulations for Top Pair and Single Top Production at the Tevatron
— Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are indispensable tools for top quark physics, both at the current Tevatron collider and the upcoming Large Hadron Collider. In this paper we review how the Tevatron experiments CDF and DØ utilize MC simulations for top quark analyses. We describe the standard MC generators used to simulate top quark pair and single top quark production, followed by a discussion o...

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 ...
متن کاملTop 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...
متن کاملTop Quark Production Cross Section at the Tevatron
An overview of the preliminary results of the top quark pair production cross section measurements at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV carried out by the CDF and DØ collaborations is presented. The data samples used for the analyses are collected in the current Tevatron run and correspond to an integrated luminosity from 360 pb −1 up to 760 pb −1 .
