and ATLAS collaborations

The Top Quark
2
Just like other Fermions
Except:
ππ‘ ~40 × ππ
The next
heaviest
quark!
The Mass gives the top
quark a special role in the
Standard Model
β’ Only fermion which has a significant coupling to the Higgs
β’ Plays key roll in many important physics processes
β’ Flavor physics, Electro-weak processes
β’ It plays a special roll in a number of Beyond the Standard Model
theories as well
The Top Mass
We have known ππ‘ almost since it was discovered.
By far the most precisely measured quark mass!
While it behaves like any other quark in the Standard
Model, its mass gives it a unique role.
β’ Only version for which the coupling to
the Higgs is important
β’ Stability of the SM Higgs potential
at high scales
A consistency check for the
Standard Model!
β’ Shows up in a number of production
loops
β’ ππ β π» at the LHC contains a top
loop
β’ Heavy Flavor physics (e.g. π΅π β ππ)
production

Current World Average: 173.3 GeV.
Known to better than 0.5 %!!
Higgs mass is known to better than 0.3%
Top is easier to discover:
ππ‘π‘ = 6.8 ππ at π = 1.98 TeV
ππ» = 0.6 ππ at π = 1.98 TeV
Top is harder to reconstruct:
No clean easy to see peak like π» β πΎπΎ!
All final states involve jets
Each measurement
deserves at least a
seminar
I have chosen a
few extra results
LHC
Tevatron

Decays

π‘π‘ β π + ππ β π
Classified by the Wsβ decay
Dilepton events
Clean, but low statistics
~4%
Lepton + Jet events
Good compromise
Reasonable background
~30%
All Hadronic events
Huge multi-jet background
~44%
Top mass has been measured
in all decay channels.
The Tevatron & The LHC
The Tevatron is coming out with its final results
β’ 10 ππ β1 of data at π = 1.96 TeV
β’ Well understood detector
β’ Sophisticated analysis techniques
The LHC is just coming online in the ππ‘ world
β’
π = 7 TeV results well developed
β’ 8 TeV results just appearing
β’ Statistics are much better due to the much higher ππ‘π‘
The much larger statistics will eventually open the
door to new ππ‘ measurement techniques.

Extracting ππ‘ from Data
Detector gives you 4-vectors. Use Griffiths!

β’
Does not always give you 4-vectors (neutrinos!)
Detector/Object resolutions (e.g. Jet Energy Scale)
Background contamination
Incorrect reconstruction (e.g. bad jet assignment)
Top mass width
Etc.
Two common methods to address this:
Matrix Element
Uses all the information
Computationally very expensive
Template Method
Flexible, subsets the information used
βFairly easyβ to implement
What do we measure? The Pole mass? The MC mass?
8
The Jet Energy Scale
Common curse for all methods
Lepton+Jets
β’ Experiments normally measure in
independent control sample.
β’ Resolution not good enough for a stateof-the-art top mass measurement.
In situ Jet Energy Scale measurement
π β π πβ²
Two poorly
measured
objects
One very well
measured
object
Many techniques will
constrain πππβ² to be ππ as
part of the global fitting
process.
Global fit over the full sample
β’ Scale all jets by a constant
factor to achieve constraint
Flavor Jet Energy Scale

β’ Given a generated jet with ππ , π what is the probability DZERO
will reconstruct values x and y?
β’ Detector and reconstruction resolution
DZERO ππ‘ using the ME
Method
16
In used at DZERO since Run I
β’ Use different top mass in

β’ Vary the Jet Energy
Scale in the transfer
functions
174.98 ± 0.58 π π‘ππ‘ ± 0.63(π π¦π ) GeV
Total error is equivalent to
March world average!
3 years of work (old result):
176.01 ± 1.01 π π‘ππ‘ ± 1.29(π π¦π ) GeV
3.6 ππ β1
What Did 3 years get?
β’ Speed (CPU) to allow better MC stats
β’ X100 increase means MC stats error
drops from ~0.25 GeV to ~0.05 GeV.
β’ New Jet Energy Scale Calibrations
β’ ISR modeling
β’ Constrain by studies in Drell-Yan data
The ππβ variable is
sensitive to Z boson
recoil (ππ‘ ).
Gives an
experimental bound
to ISR mis-modeling
Systematic error on ππ‘ reduced from ~0.25 to 0.06 GeV
β’ General π‘π‘ modeling improvements
17
Template Method
18
Using a distribution sensitive to ππ‘ :
Make it for each sample
Simulated sample at ππ‘ = 167.5 GeV
Simulated sample at ππ‘ = 172.5 GeV
Simulated sample at ππ‘ = 177.5 GeV
Use a likelihood to
estimate template
compatibility
ππ‘
Can do in two dimension
β’ Jet energy scale
β’ Top mass
Top Mass In Dilepton
Events
19
4% of all decays, split into
ππ, ππ, and ππ.
Very little SM background!
CDFβs basic selection: Observe 520 events, expect 78% purity
ATLASβ basic selection: Observe 2913, expect 96% purity
Really excellent top lab
Exceptβ¦
For 2 π!!!
There are no 4-vectors
for the two!!
Template Method
Need distributions that
are strongly correlated
with the top mass
Template method to
figure out the top mass
ATLAS

Two permutations (take smallest)
Avoid the missing πΈπ resolution
Good

Fully reconstruct the top mass
Problem: detector measures missing πΈπ = ππ1 + ππ2
π
There are not enough constraints to solve for solution!
The π weighting method

Grid in the azimuthal angles
π2
β’ Fit for the top mass at each
grid location.
πππ‘
β’ Resulting ππ‘ is the
template variable.
β’ Weight by fit π 2 .
The fit π 2 includes terms for:
β’ All the measurements (2 leptons, two jets, missing πΈπ )
β’ Top mass and the (constrained) W mass
Statistics Isnβt The Problemβ¦ 22
Broad peak, but decent
separation power.
Leading systematic:
Jet Energy Scale!
This measurement is statistics limited.
Can something be done?

Top Mass in All Hadronic
Decays (CDF & CMS)
44% of all decays. Largest
single decay class.
Overwhelmed by SM QCD
background!
6 Jets
After CMS requires 6 jets
4 jets with ππ > 60 GeV
5th with ππ > 50 GeV
6th with ππ > 40 GeV
Estimated signal purity is 3%
Signal Efficiency is 3.5%!

Improving the Purity
1. Requiring the fit to converge
2. Very basic cuts on the π 2
Raise CMSβs purity to 39%
Additional kinematic selection
CMS: Ξπ
ππ > 1.5
CDF: Neural Network
Raise CMSβs purity to 54%
CDF has a purity of 57%

A simple kinematic fit

29
Analysis is very similar
to the All-Jets analysis
from CMS
QCD background is negligible!
πππ‘
β’ Each possible jet assignment gives ππ‘
β’ Each is weighted by the fit probability
Largest systematic error is
