D0上ttbar轻子+喷注末态顶夸克极化的测量

Measurement of top quark polarization in ttbar lepton+jets final states at D0

Kamil Augsten

摘要:

本文利用费米实验室Tevatron对撞机D0探测器记录的积分亮度为9.7 fb的$^{-1}$的数据,测量了在$\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV的$p\bar{p}$碰撞中产生的$t\bar{t}$对的顶夸克极化.我们考虑包含一个轻子和至少三个喷流的末态。通过轻子角沿三个轴的分布来测量偏振:束轴、螺旋度轴和垂直于$t\bar{t}$产生面的横轴。这是在Tevatron上首次使用轻子+喷流末态测量顶夸克极化,也是在$t\bar{t}$生产中首次测量横向极化。观察到的分布与标准模型预测的几乎没有极化是一致的。

英文摘要:

We present a measurement of top quark polarization in $t\bar{t}$ pair production in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV using data corresponding to 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We consider final states containing a lepton and at least three jets. The polarization is measured through the distribution of lepton angles along three axes: the beam axis, the helicity axis, and the transverse axis normal to the $t\bar{t}$ production plane. This is the first measurement of top quark polarization at Tevatron using lepton+jet final states and the first measurement of the transverse polarization in $t\bar{t}$ production. The observed distributions are consistent with standard model predictions of nearly no polarization.
