利用初态辐射对tW和tt产物的运动学判别

Kinematic Discrimination of tW and tt Productions Using Initial State Radiation

Doojin Kim, Kyoungchul Kong

摘要:

单个顶夸克的产生为理解顶夸克物理和标准模型中夸克扇区的Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa结构提供了极好的机会。虽然在2009年已经在Tevatron上观察到了与b夸克相关的产生,但直到2014年才在LHC上观察到与W规范玻色子相关的单个顶产生,其中顶夸克的对产生作为主要背景。由于tW和主要背景之间的运动学相似性,找到提供良好的信号-背景分离的合适的运动学变量是具有挑战性的,这自然导致使用多变量方法。本文利用M_T2和不变质量变量研究了tW+j通道的运动学结构,发现利用这些运动学相关性可以很好地分离出纯度很高的tW +j产生和tt产生。

英文摘要:

Production of a single top quark provides excellent opportunity for understanding top quark physics and Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa structure of the quark sector in the Standard Model. Although an associated production with a b-quark has already been observed at the Tevatron in 2009, a single top production in association with a W gauge boson has not been observed till 2014 at the LHC, where pair production of the top quark serves as the dominant background. Due to the kinematic similarity between tW and the dominant background, it is challenging to find suitable kinematic variables that offer good signal-background separation, which naturally leads to the use of multivariate methods. In this paper, we investigate kinematic structure of tW+j channel using M_T2 and invariant mass variables, and find that tW +j production could well be separated from tt production with high purity at a low cost of statistics when utilizing these kinematic correlations.
