sigma_(t-tbar)/ sigma_(Z/γ*->ll)比值的首次测量及t-tbar截面的精确提取

First Measurement of the Ratio sigma_(t-tbar) / sigma_(Z/γ*->ll) and Precise Extraction of the t-tbar Cross Section

CDF Collaboration, T. Aaltonen

摘要:

我们报告的比例的顶-反顶Z/γ * 生产截面的测量sqrt(s)= 1.96 TeV的质子-反质子碰撞使用相应的数据高达4.6 fb-1的积分亮度,收集的CDF II探测器。顶-反顶截面比的测量使用两种互补的方法,一个b-jet标记测量和拓扑方法。通过将比值乘以公知的理论Z/gamma*->ll截面,提取的顶-反顶截面实际上对光度的不确定性不敏感。采用最佳线性无偏估计将这两种测量结果结合起来,得到顶夸克质量为172.5 GeV/c^2时,σ_(顶-反顶)= 7.70 +/- 0.52 pb。

英文摘要:

We report a measurement of the ratio of the top-antitop to Z/gamma* production cross sections in sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 4.6 fb-1, collected by the CDF II detector. The top-antitop cross section ratio is measured using two complementary methods, a b-jet tagging measurement and a topological approach. By multiplying the ratios by the well-known theoretical Z/gamma*->ll cross section, the extracted top-antitop cross sections are effectively insensitive to the uncertainty on luminosity. A best linear unbiased estimate is used to combine both measurements with the result sigma_(top-antitop) = 7.70 +/- 0.52 pb, for a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV/c^2.
