T通道单顶夸克产生中顶夸克极化的测量

Measurement of top quark polarisation in t-channel single top quark production

Andres Tiko

摘要:

首次测量了$t$通道单顶夸克产生中对顶夸克极化敏感的顶夸克自旋不对称性。它是基于一个样本的pp碰撞在一个中心的质量能量为8 TeV,对应的积分亮度为19.7 $\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$。选择了一个高纯度的$t$通道单顶夸克事例和一个孤立的μ子。使用数据拟合来估计信号和背景分量。微分截面测量,校正探测器的影响,角可观察到的顶夸克极化敏感。微分分布用于提取顶夸克自旋不对称性$0.26 \pm 0.03 \textrm{(stat)} \pm 0.10 \textrm{(syst)}$,这与标准模型预测的p值为0.44的$4.6\%$相容。

英文摘要:

A first measurement of the top quark spin asymmetry, sensitive to the top quark polarisation, in $t$-channel single top quark production is presented. It is based on a sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 $\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$. A high-purity sample of $t$-channel single top quark events with an isolated muon is selected. Signal and background components are estimated using a fit to data. A differential cross section measurement, corrected for detector effects, of an angular observable sensitive to the top quark polarisation is performed. The differential distribution is used to extract a top quark spin asymmetry of $0.26 \pm 0.03 \textrm{(stat)} \pm 0.10 \textrm{(syst)}$, which is compatible with a p-value of $4.6\%$ with the standard model prediction of 0.44.
