Gluon Radiation in Top Mass Reconstruction: Effect of Hadronic W Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
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 Tevatron including hadronically decaying W bosons. In this talk we discuss the effect of gluon radiation on the reconstructed mass of the top quark, using various top mass reconstruction scenarios. Implications for the LHC are briefly discussed.

Soft Gluon Radiation in Top Events: Effect of Hadronic W Decays
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 fo...
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...

The existence of a new massive charged gauge boson, known as W’, is proposed by many new physics scenarios. When W’ decays to tb, the final state is very similar to the final state of the s-channel single top production, where W boson is the off-shell mediator to produce the top and bottom quarks. If W’ exists, it can affect the cross section of the SM s-channel single top production, so measur...
متن کاملEffects of Perturbative Colour Interference on WW → 6-Jet Distributions
At LEP II it is hoped to measure the W mass to an accuracy of around 40 MeV. This will require direct reconstruction of the mass of the W from its decay products in both the semi-leptonic and hadronic decay channels. Final state perturbative reconnection effects in hadronic decays are considered and their effect on 6-jet distributions and the reconstructed mass. The perturbative mass shift is f...
متن کاملTop Physics at ATLAS
The Large Hadron Collider LHC is a top quark factory: due to its high design luminosity, LHC will produce about 200 millions of top quarks per year of operation. The large amount of data will allow to study with great precision the properties of the top quark, most notably cross-section, mass and spin. The Top Physics Working Group has been set up at the ATLAS experiment, to evaluate the precis...
