Tevatron顶夸克前后不对称性--同号顶夸克对产生的意义

Tevatron Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry -- Implications for Same-sign Top Quark Pair Production

Edmond L. Berger

摘要:

在Tevatron质子-反质子碰撞中测量的顶夸克的前后不对称性显示出与标准模型预期的有趣偏差。在可能的解释中,非普适的、变味的$Z^\prime$的交换很有意思,因为它自然地预言了快度前区的顶夸克。为了重现Tevatron不对称性的大小,$Z^\prime$与标准模型夸克的耦合必须很大,这不可避免地导致在Tevatron和大型强子对撞机(LHC)中产生相同符号的顶夸克对。我们从(a)Tevatron $t \bar{t}$截面,(b)Tevatron $t \bar{t}$不变质量分布,以及Tevatron在同号顶夸克对截面上的极限等方面讨论了对该模型的限制。我们探讨了早期LHC实验中7 TeV的$tt$和$ttj$生产的发现潜力,并得出结论,如果$tt$信号没有观察到1 fb的$^{-1}$的积分亮度,那么一个非通用的$Z^\prime$单独不能解释Tevatron的前后不对称性。CMS合作对LHC同号截面的限制已经不利于对所报道的不对称性的这种解释。

英文摘要:

The forward-backward asymmetry for top quarks measured in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron shows an interesting deviation from standard model expectations. Among possible interpretations, the exchange of a non-universal, flavor-changing $Z^\prime$ is of some interest as it naturally predicts a top quark in the forward region of rapidity. To reproduce the size of the Tevatron asymmetry, the couplings of the $Z^\prime$ to standard model quarks must be large, inevitably leading to production of same-sign top quark pairs at the Tevatron and at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We discuss the constraints on this model from (a) the Tevatron $t \bar{t}$ cross section, (b) the Tevatron $t \bar{t}$ invariant mass distribution, and the limits at the Tevatron on the same sign top quark pair cross section. We explore the discovery potential for $tt$ and $ttj$ production in early LHC experiments at 7 TeV and conclude that if a $tt$ signal is not observed with 1 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, then a non-universal $Z^\prime$ alone cannot explain the Tevatron forward-backward asymmetry. Limits on the same sign cross section at the LHC from the CMS collaboration already disfavor this interpretation of the reported asymmetry.
