Tevatron顶夸克对产生截面与前后不对称性

Top Quark Pair Production Cross Section and Forward-Backward Asymmetry at the Tevatron

Alison Lister

摘要:

本文介绍了Tevatron上顶夸克对产生截面和前后不对称性的最新结果。三个新的截面测量CDF和一个新的测量DO利用完整的数据集。新的DO顶部截面组合给出了σ_ttbar = 7.83 + 0.46-0.45(stat)+ 0.64-0.53(syste)+-0.48(lumi)的ttbar生产截面。新的CDF截面组合为7.0 +- 0.3(stat)+- 0.4(syst)+-0.4(lumi)pb,总不确定度为9%,非常接近目前最好的理论预测。测量尽可能多的不同通道的顶部截面并研究它们的兼容性是很重要的。这是有用的,因为新的物理可能会在不同的频道中以不同的方式显示。因此,任何显著的差异都可能是新物理学的标志。三个新的测量的前向后不对称性。这两个CDF测量展开所观察到的不对称性回到部分子水平,以直接比较所获得的值与理论预测。DO测量不是展开的,因此不依赖于用于展开的具体方法。

英文摘要:

We present recent results on top quark pair production cross section and forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron. Three new cross section measurements from CDF and one new measurement from DO are presented that utilize the full dataset available. A new DO top cross section combination gives a ttbar production cross section of sigma_ttbar = 7.83 + 0.46-0.45 (stat) + 0.64-0.53 (syst) +-0.48 (lumi). The new CDF cross section combination for ttbar production is found to be 7.0 +- 0.3 (stat) +- 0.4 (syst) +- 0.4 (lumi) pb giving a total uncertainty of 9%, very close to the that of the current best theoretical predictions. It is important to measure the top cross section in as many different channels as possible and investigate their compatibility. This is useful as new physics might show up differently in the different channels. Thus any significant discrepancy could be a sign of new physics. Three new measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry are also presented. The two CDF measurements unfold the observed asymmetry back to parton level in order to directly compare the values obtained with theoretical predictions. The DO measurement is not unfolded and therefore does not depend on the specific method used for unfolding.
