Monte Carlo for top background at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the use of Monte Carlo (MC) simulation to model backgrounds to top signal at the Tevatron experiments, CDF and D0, as well as the relevant measurements done by the experiments. We’ll concentrate on the modeling of W and Z boson production in association with jets, in particular heavy flavor jets (HF), and also comment on the Tevatron experience using matched MC.

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 کاملThe pp̄ → tbH Process at the Tevatron in HERWIG and PYTHIA Simulations
Charged Higgs boson production in association with a top quark could be the first indication of the existence of Higgs particles. The Tevatron Run-II started data-taking in April 2001 at √ s = 1960 GeV and could probe the existence of a charged Higgs boson beyond the current mass limit. We study the pp̄ → tbH± production process with Monte Carlo simulations in HERWIG and PYTHIA, comparing expect...
متن کاملGluon Radiation in tt̄ Production at the Tevatron pp̄ Collider
We present a complete calculation of the matrix elements for the processes qq̄, gg → bW+b̄W−g and qg → bW+b̄W−q which are relevant for the study of events with an additional jet in tt̄ production at the Tevatron pp̄ collider. Our calculation includes (i) the contributions from gluons emitted during the top production and decay stages and the interference between these, and (ii) the complete set of F...
متن کاملSearching for a stop-pair sample from top counting experiments at hadron colliders
The light stop if produced in hadron colliders in the form of t̃1 ̃̄ t1 pair and decaying through the likely decay chain t̃1 → χ̃b followed by χ̃ → χ̃f f̄ , can mimic closely a top quark event when the mass of the stop is close to that of the top quark. Because of the much lower production rate, the stop event can be buried under the top quark event sample. In order to uncover the stop event, specific...
متن کاملStop and Sbottom Searches in Run Ii of the Fermilab Tevatron
We estimate the Tevatron Run II potential for top and bottom squark searches. We find an impressive reach in several of the possible discovery channels. We also study some new channels which may arise in non-conventional supersymmetry models. In each case we rely on a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of the collider events and the CDF detector performance in Run I.
