在sqrt(s)= 8 TeV的pp碰撞中用质量可观测量M[b1],M[ T2 ]和M[blnu]测量双轻子t t棒衰变通道中的顶夸克质量

Measurement of the top quark mass in the dileptonic t t-bar decay channel using the mass observables M[bl], M[T2], and M[blnu] in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

利用质心能量为8 TeV的质子-质子碰撞数据测量了双轻子t-t-棒衰变通道中的顶夸克质量(M[t])。这些数据是由CMS实验在LHC上记录的,对应的积分亮度为19.7 +/- 0.5毫微微电子能。选择具有两个带相反电荷的轻子(l = e,μ)和两个被确定为源自b夸克的喷流的事件。该分析是基于三个运动学观测值,其分布是敏感的M[t]的值。一个不变的质量可观察到的,M[b1],和一个'横向质量'可观察到的,M[T2],采用同时拟合,以确定M[t]的值和整体射流能量比例因子(JSF)。互补方法用于构造不变质量可观测量M[blnu],其与M[T2]组合以测量M[t]。观测量的形状,以及它们在M[t]和JSF中的演变,通过非参数高斯过程回归技术建模。用Fisher信息密度法研究了观测量对M[t]值的敏感性。顶夸克的质量被测量为172.22 +/- 0.18(stat)+0.89/-0.93(syst)GeV。

英文摘要:

A measurement of the top quark mass (M[t]) in the dileptonic t t-bar decay channel is performed using data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The data was recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 +/- 0.5 inverse femtobarns. Events are selected with two oppositely charged leptons (l = e, mu) and two jets identified as originating from b quarks. The analysis is based on three kinematic observables whose distributions are sensitive to the value of M[t]. An invariant mass observable, M[bl], and a `stransverse mass' observable, M[T2], are employed in a simultaneous fit to determine the value of M[t] and an overall jet energy scale factor (JSF). A complementary approach is used to construct an invariant mass observable, M[blnu], that is combined with M[T2] to measure M[t]. The shapes of the observables, along with their evolutions in M[t] and JSF, are modeled by a nonparametric Gaussian process regression technique. The sensitivity of the observables to the value of M[t] is investigated using a Fisher information density method. The top quark mass is measured to be 172.22 +/- 0.18 (stat) +0.89/-0.93 (syst) GeV.
