Search for top in lepton + jets in DØ using a topological tag
نویسنده
چکیده
We have searched for production of tt̄ pairs in pp̄ interactions at 1.8 TeV center-of-mass energy at the FNAL Tevatron collider. The search assumes standard model decay for top quark into W + b quark. We observe in e+ jets and μ+ jets final states a small, not statistically significant, excess above the background estimated by two different methods. The results presented are preliminary.

Ju n 19 97 Top quark mass measurements from the Tevatron
We review the measurements of the top quark mass by the CDF and DØ collaborations using Run I data in excess of 100 pb−1. The DØ collaboration [1] has recently updated its measurement of the top quark mass in the lepton + jets channel. The world average of the top quark mass from the CDF [2] and DØ measurements in the lepton + jets channel now stands at 175.6 ± 5.5 GeV/c2.
متن کاملSearch for a new Resonance decaying into Top-Antitop at Tevatron
In this report a new search for a narrow-width heavy resonance decaying into top quark pairs (X → tt) in pp collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV has been performed using data collected by the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The analysis considers tt candidate events in the lepton+jets channel using a lifetime tag to identify b-jets and the tt invariant mass distribution to search for evid...
متن کاملMeasurement of B ( t → Wb ) / B ( t → Wq ) at √ s = 1 . 96 TeV DØ
We present the measurement of R = B(t →Wb)/B(t →Wq) in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV, using 230 pb−1 of data collected by the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We fit simultaneously R and the number (Ntt̄ ) of selected top quark pairs (t t̄ ), to the number of identified b-quark jets in events with one electron or one muon, three or more jets, and high transverse energy imbalance....
متن کاملPrecise measurements of the top mass and direct measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks at DØ
We report on measurements of the mass using dilepton and lepton+jet data collected with the D0 detector. These results are compared to the top mass extracted from the t ¯ t cross section using higher-order quantum chromodynamics calculations. We also present a direct measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks (∆m) in lepton+jets t ¯ t final states using the " matrix eleme...
متن کاملTop Quark Pair Production Cross Section and Forward-Backward Asymmetry at the Tevatron
The study of top quark pair production at the Tevatron is now entering the realm of precision physics. With 2.8 fb−1 of CDF data there are over 1200 reconstructed tt̄ events in the lepton + jets channel. As the integrated luminosity increases, it is possible to improve not only measurements of the properties of the top quark but also maybe to search for new physics by comparing the tt̄ cross sect...
