用ATLAS探测器收集的数据在8 TeV的$pp$碰撞中$t$通道单顶夸克产生的基准、全截面和微分截面测量

Fiducial, total and differential cross-section measurements of $t$-channel single top-quark production in $pp$ collisions at 8 TeV using data collected by the ATLAS detector

ATLAS Collaboration

摘要:

详细测量了$t$通道单顶夸克产生。他们使用20.2 fb $^{-1}$的数据收集的ATLAS实验中的质子-质子碰撞在质心能量为8 TeV的大型强子对撞机。测量了顶夸克和顶反夸克产生的总截面、基准截面和微分截面。基准截面的测量精度分别为5.8%(顶夸克)和7.8%(顶反夸克)。测量的总截面为顶夸克产生的$σ_{\mathrm{tot}}(tq) = 56.7^{+4.3}_{-3.8}\;$ pb和顶反夸克产生的$σ_{\mathrm{tot}}(\bar{t}q) = 32.9^{+3.0}_{-2.7}\;$ pb,与标准模型的预测一致。此外,顶夸克与顶反夸克产生截面的比值被确定为$R_t=1.72 \pm 0.09$,由于几个系统的不确定性在该比值中抵消,相对精度提高了4.9%。在部分子和粒子水平上测量了微分截面随顶夸克和顶反夸克的横动量和快度的变化。在粒子水平上测量了$t$通道散射产生的伴随喷流的横向动量和快度微分截面。所有的测量进行比较,各种Monte Carlo预测,以及固定阶QCD计算可用。

英文摘要:

Detailed measurements of $t$-channel single top-quark production are presented. They use 20.2 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the ATLAS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV at the LHC. Total, fiducial and differential cross-sections are measured for both top-quark and top-antiquark production. The fiducial cross-section is measured with a precision of 5.8 % (top quark) and 7.8 % (top antiquark), respectively. The total cross-sections are measured to be $σ_{\mathrm{tot}}(tq) = 56.7^{+4.3}_{-3.8}\;$pb for top-quark production and $σ_{\mathrm{tot}}(\bar{t}q) = 32.9^{+3.0}_{-2.7}\;$pb for top-antiquark production, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. In addition, the ratio of top-quark to top-antiquark production cross-sections is determined to be $R_t=1.72 \pm 0.09$, with an improved relative precision of 4.9 % since several systematic uncertainties cancel in the ratio. The differential cross-sections as a function of the transverse momentum and rapidity of both the top quark and the top antiquark are measured at both the parton and particle levels. The transverse momentum and rapidity differential cross-sections of the accompanying jet from the $t$-channel scattering are measured at particle level. All measurements are compared to various Monte Carlo predictions as well as to fixed-order QCD calculations where available.
