Measurements of Top Quark Properties at Cdf
نویسنده
چکیده
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, measurements of the helicity of the W boson from top-quark decay, and a direct limit on the lifetime of the top quark.

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 کاملMeasurements of top quark decay properties
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.
متن کامل3 v 1 1 8 Se p 19 96 Top Quark Physics Results from CDF and D 0
I summarize recent top quark physics results from the Fermilab Tevatron experiments. Since the observation of the top quark by CDF and D0 in 1995, the experimental focus has shifted to a detailed study of the top quark’s properties. This article describes recent measurements of the top quark production cross section, mass, kinematic properties, branching ratios, Vtb, and the W polarization in t...
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...
