由LHC t通道单顶产生确定顶夸克质量

Top-quark mass determination from t-channel single top production at the LHC

Mei Sen Gao, Shu Run Yuan, Jun Gao

摘要:

本文研究了在大型强子对撞机t通道单顶夸克产生中利用轻子观测量确定顶夸克质量的方法。我们证明了带电轻子的横动量对输入顶夸克质量的敏感性。本文采用窄宽度近似和结构函数方法,给出了QCD中次-首序(NNLO)的预言。讨论了部分子簇射、强子化、非共振和非因子化对修正的影响。为了减少SM背景的影响,我们建议使用电荷加权分布进行测量,即,带正电荷和带负电荷的带电轻子分布之间的差异。通过对信号和背景过程进行建模,我们发现(HL-)大型强子对撞机的预测是有希望的,提取的顶夸克质量的总理论不确定性约为1 $\sim$ 2 GeV。

英文摘要:

We study the determination of the top-quark mass using leptonic observables in t-channel single top-quark production at the LHC. We demonstrate sensitivity of transverse momentum of the charged lepton on the input top-quark mass. We present predictions at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD with narrow width approximation and structure function approach. Further corrections due to parton shower and hadronization, non-resonant and non-factorized contributions are discussed. To reduce impact of SM backgrounds we propose to use the charge weighted distribution for the measurement, i.e., differences between distributions of charged lepton with positive and negative charges. By modeling both signal and background processes, we found the projections for (HL-)LHC to be promising, with a total theoretical uncertainty on the extracted top-quark mass of about 1 $\sim$ 2 GeV.
