Top Quark Mass and Cross Section Results from the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
This note details recent measurements of the top mass and cross section that have been performed at the Tevatron. Most of these measurements have been performed with between 1.0 and 2.0 fb of data. Basic top physics concepts are discussed, cross section and mass analysis methods and results are presented, and future analysis prospects are discussed with a special attention given to Electroweak determination of the limits on the Standard Model Higgs mass.

Top Quark Production Cross Section at the Tevatron
An overview of the preliminary results of the top quark pair production cross section measurements at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV carried out by the CDF and DØ collaborations is presented. The data samples used for the analyses are collected in the current Tevatron run and correspond to an integrated luminosity from 360 pb −1 up to 760 pb −1 .
متن کاملTop quark and charged Higgs production at hadron colliders
I present a brief theoretical update on top quark pair production at the Tevatron and give values of the NNLO-NNNLL cross section for both mt = 175 and 178 GeV. I then present a calculation of the cross section for charged Higgs production in association with a top quark at the LHC, including NNLO soft-gluon corrections. 1 Top quark production at the Tevatron The properties of the top quark, in...
متن کاملMeasuring the running top - quark mass
We present the first direct determination of the running top-quark mass based on the total cross section of top-quark pair-production as measured at the Tevatron. Our theory prediction for the cross section includes various next-to-next-to-leading order QCD contributions, in particular all logarithmically enhanced terms near threshold, the Coulomb corrections at two loops and all explicitly sca...
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 ...
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...
