用ATLAS探测器测量全强子TTBA截面

Fully hadronic ttbar cross section measurement with ATLAS detector

Claudia Bertella

摘要:

在完全强子末态的顶夸克对产生截面的特点是由六喷流拓扑结构,其中两个可以被确定为起源于一个b夸克使用ATLAS b标记算法。与其他衰变通道相比,这种最终状态呈现出有利的较大分支比;另一方面,它受到非常大的QCD多喷流背景的影响,通常难以从蒙特卡罗模拟中估计,因此使用数据驱动技术进行评估。分析是使用36 pb-1的pp碰撞产生的LHC与质心能量为7 TeV。观察到的上限设定为261 pb,置信水平为95%,其中ttbar过程的预期标准模型横截面为165+11-16 pb。在未来,当大型强子对撞机的亮度增加,这是必不可少的,有效地触发这些完全强子ttbar事件,使用专用的触发。本文综述了全强子末态ttbar产生截面测量的分析和b-jet触发器性能估计的最新进展。

英文摘要:

The top quark pair production cross section in the fully hadronic final state is characterized by a six jet topology, two of which could be identified as originating from a b-quark using ATLAS b-tagging algorithms. Compared to other decay channels, this final state presents an advantageous larger branching ratio; on the other hand it suffers from a very large QCD multi-jet background, generally difficult to estimate from Monte Carlo simulation and therefore evaluated using data-driven techniques. The analysis is performed using 36pb-1 of pp collisions produced at the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The observed upper limit is set at 261 pb at 95% confidence level, where the expected Standard Model cross-section for the ttbar process is 165+11-16 pb. In the future, when the LHC luminosity increases, it is essential, to efficiently trigger on these fully hadronic ttbar events, to use dedicated triggers. An overview of the analysis for ttbar production cross section measurement in the fully hadronic final state and the state-of-the-art of the b-jet trigger performance estimation are presented in this contribution.
