Top-mass Measurements from D0
نویسنده
چکیده
We present three recent analyses (Abstracts 169, 170 and 174) of the mass of the top quark (Mt) using top-antitop candidate events collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider: (i) a 3.6 events/fb sample of data in the lepton+jets channel analyzed to extract a precision value of Mt using the "Matrix-Element" (ME) method, wherein each event probability is calculated from the differential production cross section as a function of Mt and the overall jet energy scale, with the latter constrained by the two jets from W decay into q′q̄, (ii) a first measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks as a check of CPT invariance in the quark sector, also based on the ME method in lepton+jets channels, and corresponding to a 1 event/fb data sample, and (iii) measurements of Mt in dilepton final states (updated to 3.6 events/fb), based on "matrix" weighting, "neutrino" weighting and the ME method, which rely, respectively, on the likelihood of observing the events in data for a range of assumed Mt values, distributions generated from event weights that compare calculated and reconstructed missing transverse energies, and event probabilities based on the leading-order differential cross section as a function of assumed Mt . In addition, we provide a combination of recent top-mass measurements from D0.

Top quark mass measurements at D0
We present the most recent measurements of the mass of the top quark at D0 using proton-antiproton collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The world average for the mass of the top quark is 170.9 ± 1.8 GeV/c.
متن کاملTop Quark Physics at the Tevatron
An overview of recent top quark measurements using the full Run II data set of CDF or D0 at the Tevatron is presented. Results are complementary to the ones at the LHC. Recent measurements of the production cross section of top quarks in strong and electroweak production and of top quark production asymmetries are presented. The latter includes the measurement of the tt̄ production asymmetry by ...
متن کاملPrecise measurements of the top mass and direct measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks at DØ
We report on measurements of the mass using dilepton and lepton+jet data collected with the D0 detector. These results are compared to the top mass extracted from the t ¯ t cross section using higher-order quantum chromodynamics calculations. We also present a direct measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks (∆m) in lepton+jets t ¯ t final states using the " matrix eleme...
متن کاملCombination 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...
متن کاملTop Production Properties at the Tevatron
Following the confirmation of the top quark discovery at the Tevatron, the next step is to begin studying its properties. Because the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is of the same order as the measured top mass, the top quark may be very sensitive to new physics. We describe measurements of the total tt̄ cross section, the tt̄ invariant mass, the top transverse momentum distribution, and ...
