Soft Gluon Radiation in Top Events: Effect of Hadronic W Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
In reconstructing the top quark momentum from its decay products, one must account for extra jets that can result from radiation of gluons. In this paper we study soft gluon radiation in top production and decay at the Fermilab Tevatron. We consider the cases where one or both W bosons decays hadronically, i.e., where at least one of the top quarks can be fully reconstructed. We show results for gluon distributions at the Tevatron and find that radiation from the W decay products contributes substantially in the central region.

Gluon Radiation in Top Mass Reconstruction: Effect of Hadronic W Decays
Top quark events in hadron collisions often contain additional hadronic jets from gluon bremsstrahlung off the quarks and gluons in the hard subprocesses. Such extra jets must be taken into account in attempts to reconstruct the momentum of the top quark from those of its decay products. We have performed a complete calculation of gluon radiation in top production and decay at the Fermilab Teva...
متن کاملTop pair production with an extra gluon at the Tevatron
We calculate top pair production and decay at the Tevatron p¯ p collider, with the emission of an extra gluon, and study the corresponding W + 5 jet top signals including full spin correlations in the W → ℓν leptonic and W → jj hadronic decays. We study the feasibility of reconstructing W + 5 jet top events with a single b-tag, including realistic energy resolution. Our suggested basic procedur...

We report on an experimental comparison of the characteristics of quark-induced jets based on an analysis of jet events selected from hadronic events at c.m. energy of 60 GeV in e+e- annihilations. The triangle plot shows that the majority are two-jet events. The three-jet events are also present but not as many as two-jet events. The mean transverse momentum is larger for three-jet events th...
متن کاملNNNLO Soft-gluon Corrections for the Top-quark pT and Rapidity Distributions
I present a calculation of next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNNLO) soft-gluon corrections for differential distributions in top-antitop pair production in hadronic collisions. Approximate NNNLO (aNNNLO) results are obtained from soft-gluon resummation. Theoretical predictions are shown for the top-quark aNNNLO transverse momentum (pT ) and rapidity distributions at LHC and Tevatron energi...

Analysis of electron – positron annihilation into hadrons in the range of energies above 60 GeV shows that apart from two jet events, there are evidence for three jet events that according to the QCD theory interpreted as a gluon radiation by a quark. However, the higher order diagrams lead to four jet events. In this paper, we study the fragmentation of quarks and gluons into hadronic jets . ...
