在LHC生产多个部件相互作用、顶-反顶和W+4j

Multiple Parton Interactions, top--antitop and W+4j production at the LHC

Ezio Maina

摘要:

在LHC中,多重部分子相互作用(MPI)的预期速率很大。这需要估计它们对LHC所有测量的影响,同时为详细研究这些现象提供前所未有的机会。在本文中,我们研究的MPI背景顶-反顶生产,在半轻子通道,在早期阶段的数据时,$b$的全部权力-标记将不可用。MPI的背景原来是小的,但不可忽略的,通过一个单一的部分子相互作用的W+4j生产提供的背景的20%的顺序。然后,我们分析了在W+4j通道中研究多部分子相互作用的可能性,这是一个比在较低能量下研究的反应复杂得多的设置。MPI的贡献原来是占主导地位的两个高能射流的横向动量平衡的最终状态,它似乎是可能的,由于良好的角分辨率的ATLAS和CMS,从单部分子相互作用过程中分离的多部分子相互作用的贡献。两个射流产生的大截面表明,三重部分相互作用(TPI)也可以提供不可忽略的贡献。我们的初步分析表明,在LHC上研究TPI确实是可能的。

英文摘要:

The expected rate for Multiple Parton Interactions (MPI) at the LHC is large. This requires an estimate of their impact on all measurement foreseen at the LHC while opening unprecendented opportunities for a detailed study of these phenomena. In this paper we examine the MPI background to top-antitop production, in the semileptonic channel, in the early phase of data taking when the full power of $b$--tagging will not be available. The MPI background turns out to be small but non negligible, of the order of 20% of the background provided by W+4j production through a Single Parton Interaction. We then analyze the possibility of studying Multiple Parton Interactions in the W+4j channel, a far more complicated setting than the reactions examined at lower energies. The MPI contribution turns out to be dominated by final states with two energetic jets which balance in transverse momentum, and it appears possible, thanks to the good angular resolution of ATLAS and CMS, to separate the Multiple Parton Interactions contribution from Single Parton Interaction processes. The large cross section for two jet production suggests that also Triple Parton Interactions (TPI) could provide a non negligible contribution. Our preliminary analysis suggests that it might be indeed possible to investigate TPI at the LHC.
