Jet Activity in tt̄ Events and Top Mass Reconstruction at Hadron Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyse the impact of matrix-element corrections to top decays in HERWIG on several observables related to the jet activity in tt̄ events at the Tevatron and at the LHC. In particular, we study the effects induced by the higher-order corrections to top decays on the top mass reconstruction using the recently proposed J/ψ + l final states.

A Phenomenological Study of Bottom Quark Fragmentation in Top Quark Decay at Hadron Colliders
Top-quark physics is one of the main fields of investigation at the Tevatron accelerator and, ultimately, at the LHC. We perform a phenomenological analysis of tt̄ events at hadron colliders, with a focus on observables relying on bottom-quark fragmentation in top-quark decay. In particular, we investigate the B-lepton invariant-mass distribution in the dilepton channel and give an estimate of t...
متن کاملElectroweak corrections to tt̄ production at hadron colliders
We report on our recent work on electroweak corrections to tt̄ production at hadron colliders. Specifically, we discuss the weak-interaction contributions to the top quark transverse momentum and tt̄ invariant mass distributions and an induced parity-violating top-spin asymmetry.

متن کاملFinite-Width Effects in Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders
Production cross sections for tt̄ and tt̄j events at hadron colliders are calculated, including finite width effects and off resonance contributions for the entire decay chain, t → bW → blν, for both top quarks. Resulting background rates to Higgs search at the CERN LHC are updated for inclusive H → WW studies and for H → ττ and H → WW decays in weak boson fusion events. Finite width effects are ...
متن کاملLeading Electroweak Corrections to the Production of Heavy Top Quarks at Hadron Colliders
We calculate the electroweak corrections of the order O( 2 t v2 ) to the QCD production of tt̄ pairs via qq̄ → tt̄ at hadron colliders and show that these corrections to the total production rate are small. This correction can be characterized as increasing the cross section most near the threshold region, where top quark signals are important, while the corrections become negative at higher tt̄ en...
متن کاملHiggs Decay to Top Quarks at Hadron Colliders
Higgs bosons which decay principally to top quarks, such as in the minimal supersymmetric model, produce a peak-dip structure in the gg → tt̄ invariant-mass spectrum. This structure is potentially observable at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
