Top pair production at the Tevatron

At √s=1.96 TeV:

85% qq 15% gg

At √s=14 TeV: 10% qq90% gg

σ = 833 ± 100 pb

Cacciari et al. JHEP 0404:068 (2004)Kidonakis & Vogt PRD 68 114014 (2003)

σ = 6.7 pb (MTOP=175GeV)

Very rare process One top pair each 1010 inelastic collisions at s = 1.96 TeV

High Pt lepton triggers are very important

• 1000 PE´s with a fixed true value of fV+A

• For each pseudo-experiment:

• Get 95% CL by ‘scanning’ the likelihood function along the fV+A axis.

• After all 1000 PE’s at different f V+A true:

• a distribution of 95% CL’s.

• 95% CL contours: 1K PE scanning f TRUE in [0,1]

CONCLUSIONS & PROSPECTS

•11 years after the discovery and still elucidating..•We have measured the ttbar production cross section in the dilepton channel with 750 pb-1

•This result is combined with other results from l+jets channel achieving a precision of 12%, close to the theoretical error of the current QCD calculations of the top pair production.

•A technique to search for V+A top decay vertex in both dilepton and lepton plus jets top samples has been extensively tested using pseudoexperiment.

•Prospects:•Including systematics in the 95% CL.•Then we will open the box and measured fV+A with CDF data.

● 1995: Top quark discovered by CDF and D0

– Not a surprise: SM quark sector completed– But top mass was surprisingly high.

● 2006 (still elucidating!):

– Single top remains undiscovered.– Precision measurements:

● Pair production cross-sections: – Now CDF 12%

● Mtop (Moriond 2006)= 172.5 ± 2.3 GeV – Top properties (besides the top mass) studies

with almost 1 fb-1 . ● Is it really a Standard Model Top ?

11 years after the top quark discovery

• Delivered: 1.2fb-1

• Accelerator doing very well:– Record peak inst.

luminosity:• 1.79x1032/cm2s

(11/10/2005)

– If no further improvements:

• 4fb-1 in 2009

– Electron cooling on track• Could get 8fb-1 in 2009!

• Detectors doing well:– Upgrades finishing up to

deal with luminosity increase coming in 2006

• D0 installing silicon now

Where do I get this?
