AI总结:

本文研究窄宽度近似下LHC单顶夸克产生与衰变中的线性幂次修正,发现极化效应和轻子运动学分布普遍受其影响,但正电子动量碰撞平面外分量不受影响,可作为顶夸克质量测量的理想观测量。

摘要:

我们在窄宽度近似下考虑顶夸克的产生与衰变,并研究那些通过顶夸克衰变粒子角分布与产生子过程中末态喷注之间的关联而表现出来的极化效应是否受到线性幂次修正的影响。我们发现,一般而言,这个问题的答案是肯定的。我们还讨论了这些非微扰修正如何影响用于研究LHC单顶夸克产生的极化观测量。最后,我们指出顶夸克衰变轻子的一般运动学分布会受到线性幂次修正的影响,这可能对从这类轻子观测量中提取顶夸克质量的方案具有重要含义。另一方面,我们证明正电子动量的“碰撞平面外”分量的分布不受线性幂次修正的影响,使其成为顶夸克质量测量的一个有趣候选量。

英文摘要:

We consider top quark production and decay in the narrow width approximation and study if the polarisation effects, that manifest themselves in correlations of angular distributions of particles from top quark decays and final state jets in the production sub-process, are affected by linear power corrections. We find that, in general, the answer to this question is affirmative. We also discuss how these non-perturbative corrections affect polarisation observables used to study single top production at the LHC. Finally, we point out that generic kinematic distributions of leptons from top quark decays are affected by linear power corrections, which may have implications for proposals to extract the top quark mass from such leptonic observables. On the other hand, we demonstrate that the distribution of the ``out-of-collision-plane'' component of the positron momentum is free from linear power corrections, making it an interesting candidate for the top quark mass measurement.
