"Table 59" of "Measurements of $t\bar{t}$ differential cross-sections of highly boosted top quarks decaying to all-hadronic final states in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13\,$ TeV using the ATLAS detector"
收藏资源简介:
Measurements are made of differential cross-sections of highly boosted pair-produced top quarks as a function of top-quark and $t\bar{t}$ system kinematic observables using proton--proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $36.1$ fb$^{-1}$, recorded in 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Events with two large-radius jets in the final state, one with transverse momentum $p_{\rm T} > 500$ GeV and a second with $p_{\rm T} > 350$ GeV, are used for the measurement. The top-quark candidates are separated from the multijet background using jet substructure information and association with a $b$-tagged jet. The measured spectra are corrected for detector effects to a particle-level fiducial phase space and a parton-level limited phase space, and are compared to several Monte Carlo simulations by means of calculated $\chi^2$ values. The cross-section for $t\bar{t}$ production in the fiducial phase-space region is $292 \pm 7 \rm{(stat)} \pm 76 \rm{(syst)}$ fb, to be compared to the theoretical prediction of $384 \pm 36$ fb.
本数据集基于质心系能量√s=13 TeV的质子-质子碰撞数据,测量了高度相对论性增强的成对产生顶夸克的微分截面(differential cross-sections),测量结果以顶夸克及$tar{t}$(顶夸克-反顶夸克对)系统的运动学可观测量作为自变量。所用数据取自欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)大型强子对撞机(Large Hadron Collider, LHC)上的ATLAS探测器于2015至2016年间采集的实验数据,对应积分亮度(integrated luminosity)为36.1 fb⁻¹。 本次分析选取末态包含两个大半径喷注(large-radius jets)的事件:其中一个喷注的横向动量(transverse momentum, $p_T$)大于500 GeV,另一个喷注的横向动量大于350 GeV,用于截面测量。通过喷注子结构(jet substructure)信息以及与b标记喷注(b-tagged jet)的关联,可将顶夸克候选事件与多喷注本底区分开来。 针对测量得到的能谱,研究团队校正了探测器效应带来的影响,将其校正至粒子级 fiducial相空间(fiducial phase space)与部分子级限定相空间,并通过计算得到的卡方值($chi^2$),将测量结果与多种蒙特卡洛模拟(Monte Carlo simulations)进行对比。在该fiducial相空间区域内,$tar{t}$对产生的截面为292 ± 7(统计误差) ± 76(系统误差) fb,该结果可与理论预言值384 ± 36 fb进行对比。
