摘要:

我们已经在ALPGEN中实现了一个Z' + n喷注产生的程序,Z'衰变到几个终态,包括l+ l-和t tbar。MLM处方用于匹配矩阵元素与部分子簇射,以这种方式包括领先的软共线校正。为了证明它的能力,我们对重疏轻子规范玻色子的Z' -> ttbar和Z' -> tbar j产生进行了综合分析。研究发现,附加射流的影响不能仅用K因子乘以首阶截面来解释。事实上,与对t tbar + t tbar j事件的相同样本进行的包含性分析的结果相比,所提出的对Z' -> t tbar和Z' -> t tbar j的组合分析将信号的统计显著性提高了25%(对于1 TeV的Z'质量为8.55 σ对6.77 σ)。

英文摘要:

We have implemented a code for Z' + n jets production in ALPGEN, with Z' decays into several final states, including l+ l- and t tbar. The MLM prescription is used for matching the matrix element with the parton shower, including in this way the leading soft and collinear corrections. In order to demonstrate its capabilities, we perform a combined analysis of Z' -> t tbar and Z' -> t tbar j production for a heavy leptophobic gauge boson. It is found that the effect of the extra jet cannot only be accounted for by a K factor multiplying the leading-order cross section. In fact, the combined analysis for Z' -> t tbar and Z' -> t tbar j presented improves the statistical significance of the signal by 25% (8.55 sigma versus 6.77 sigma for a Z' mass of 1 TeV), compared with the results of an inclusive analysis carried out on the same sample of t tbar + t tbar j events.
