关于重顶夸克产生的阈值行为

On the threshold behaviour of heavy top production

Torbjörn Sjöstrand

AI总结:

本研究针对CMS与ATLAS观测到的ttbar阈值区域产生超出现象,将35多年前基于NRQCD格林函数方法的ttbar产生截面方程重新实现于Pythia 8,重点处理了阈值以下事件的建模并完成交叉验证,给出了截面与事件性质结果。

摘要:

CMS和ATLAS实验观测到顶夸克对(ttbar)产生在阈值区域存在超出,这一现象已被解释为来自顶夸克偶素的贡献,即阈值以下的ttbar虚态。本研究的新意在于对该信号的非平凡实验提取,而非信号本身的存在。事实上,早在35年多以前,就有研究采用NRQCD(非相对论量子色动力学)格林函数方法,对质子-质子/质子-反质子碰撞中阈值以上及阈值以下的ttbar对产生过程进行建模。该研究中的相关截面方程现已被(重新)实现于Pythia 8事件产生器中。阈值以上部分的处理较为直接,而阈值以下事件的物理解释与建模则并非易事,研究还将最终方案与两种更简单的方案进行了交叉验证。文中给出了截面结果及部分事件性质。

英文摘要:

The observation of an excess of ttbar production in the threshold region, by CMS and ATLAS, has been interpreted as a toponium contribution, i.e. from below-threshold ttbar virtual states. The news here is the nontrivial experimental extraction of such a signal, not its existence as such. Indeed, already 35+ years ago an NRQCD Green's function approach was used to model the above- and below-threshold production of ttbar pairs in pp/ppbar collisions. The relevant cross section equations from that study are now (re-)implemented in the Pythia 8 event generator. While the above-threshold part is straightforward, the physical interpretation and modelling of below-threshold events is nontrivial, and a final prescription is cross-checked against two simpler ones. Cross sections and some event properties are presented.
