摘要:

由正在进行的暗物质搜索在大型强子对撞机的顶夸克部门,我们报告的次领先阶QCD的标准模型过程$pp\to t\bar{t}+ Z(\to ν_\ell \barν_\ell)$的修正的计算。该计算基于$e^+ν_e \, μ^- \barν_μ\, b\bar{b} \, ν_τ\barν_τ$产生的矩阵元素,包括顶夸克的所有非共振图、干扰和离壳效应。由于有限的$W$ -玻色子宽度的非共振和离壳效应也一贯考虑。由于这是常见的这样的研究,我们提出了一些重正化和因式分解尺度的选择和三个不同的部分子分布函数的集成和微分截面的结果。已经与相当包容性的切割选择和独立的尺度选择和部分子分布函数的非平坦差分${\cal K}$ -因子获得$p_T^{miss}, Δϕ_{\ell\ell}, Δy_{\ell\ell}, \cosθ_{\ell\ell}, H_T, H^\prime_T$观测值是相关的新的物理搜索。对标准模型背景的良好的理论控制是正确解释可能在该通道中出现的新物理学信号的基本先决条件。因此,在进一步开发任何用于检测新物理信号的现实策略之前,需要在存在更多排他性切割的情况下仔细重新检查这些可观测量。

英文摘要:

Triggered by ongoing dark matter searches in the top quark sector at the Large Hadron Collider we report on the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the Standard Model process $pp\to t\bar{t}+ Z(\to ν_\ell \barν_\ell)$. This calculation is based on matrix elements for $e^+ν_e \, μ^- \barν_μ\, b\bar{b} \, ν_τ\barν_τ$ production and includes all non-resonant diagrams, interferences, and off-shell effects of the top quarks. Non-resonant and off-shell effects due to the finite $W$-boson width are also consistently taken into account. As it is common for such studies, we present results for both integrated and differential cross sections for a few renormalisation and factorisation scale choices and three different parton distribution functions. Already with the fairly inclusive cut selection and independently of the scale choice and the parton distribution function non-flat differential ${\cal K}$-factors are obtained for $p_T^{miss}, Δϕ_{\ell\ell}, Δy_{\ell\ell}, \cosθ_{\ell\ell}, H_T, H^\prime_T$ observables that are relevant for new physics searches. Good theoretical control over the Standard Model background is a fundamental prerequisite for a correct interpretation of possible signals of new physics that may arise in this channel. Thus, these observables need to be carefully reexamined in the presence of more exclusive cuts before any realistic strategies for the detection of new physics signal can be further developed.
