Motivations for Top Physics studies

• Top quark mass is a fundamental parameter of the
  EW theory
• By far has the largest mass of all known
  fundamental particles
• In SM top- and W-mass constrain Higgs mass
• Sensitivity through radiative corrections
• Scrutinize SM by precise determination top mass
• Top quark exists and will be produced abundantly
  ! ? window for new physics
• Many heavy particles decay in tt
• Handle on new physics by detailed properties of
  top
• And in addition
• Experiment Top quark useful to calibrate the
  detector (LHC)
• Beyond Top Top quarks will be a major source of
  background for almost every search for physics
  beyond the SM (LHC)

What is the Top Mass?

• Problem for the top what is the mass of a
  colored object?
• The top pole mass is not IR safe (affected by
  large long-distance contributions), cannot be
  determined to better than O(LQCD)
• Measurement of mt
• At Tevatron/LHC kinematic reconstruction, fit to
  invariant mass dist.
• at the LHC accuracy ? 1-2 GeV (limited by FSR)
• At the LC, mainly from threshold behavior
• Measurement comparison data Monte Carlo
  involves transition from actually measured
  quantity to suitably defined (short-distance) top
  mass

LHC Alternative mass determination

• Select high PT back-to-back top events
• Hemisphere separation (bckgnd reduction, much
  less combinatorial)
• Higher probability for jet overlapping
• Use the events where both Ws decay leptonically
  (Br5)
• Much cleaner environment
• Less information available from two ?s
• Use events where both Ws decay hadronically
  (Br45)
• Difficult jet environment
• Select PTgt200 GeV

Various methods all have different systematics

LHC Search for resonances

• Many theoretical models include the existence of
  resonances decaying to top-topbar
• SM Higgs (but BR smaller with respect to the
  WW and ZZ decays)
• MSSM Higgs (H/A, if mH,mAgt2mt, BR(H/A?tt)1 for
  tanß1)
• Technicolor Models, strong ElectroWeak Symmetry
  Breaking, Topcolor, colorons production,

• Study of a resonance ? once known s?, G? and
  BR(??tt) at LHC
• Reconstruction efficiency for semileptonic
  channel
• 20 mtt400 GeV
• 15 mtt2 TeV

1.6 TeV resonance

19
Couplings and decays

• Does the top quark behaves as expected in the SM?
• Yukawa coupling to Higgs from ttbarH events
• Electric charge
• Top spin polarization
• CP violation
• At the LHC Yukawa coupling can be measured to lt
  20 from t-tbar H production
• _at_ the LC, the precision of the measurement of the
  top Yukawa coupling will be better than 10 if
  mH 190 GeV/c2
• For a light Higgs (mH 120 GeV/c2) Precision
  5-6

20
LHC Couplings and decays

• According to the SM
• Br(t ?Wb) ? 99.9, Br(t ? Ws) ? 0.1, Br(t ?
  Wd) ? 0.01
  (difficult to
  measure)
• Can probe t ?Wnon-b by measuring ratio of
  double b-tag to single b-tag
• Statistics more than sufficient to be sensitive
  to SM expectation for Br(t ? W s/d)
• need excellent understanding of b-tagging
  efficiency/purity

21
Search for anomalous Wtb couplings

• The Wtb vertex can be probed and measured using
  either top pair production or single top
  production
• Total tt rate depends weakly from Wtb vertex
  structure
• C and P asymmetries, top polarization, spin
  correlations can provide interesting info
• The single top production rate is instead
  directly proportional to the square of the Wtb
  coupling
• LHC could rivale the reach of a high L (500
  fb-1) 500 GeV LC

22
LHC FCNC Rare decays

• In the SM the FCNC decays are highly suppressed
  (Brlt10-13-10-10)
• Any observation would be sign of new physics
• FCNC can be detected through top decay or single
  top production
• Sensitivity according to CMS studies (of top
  decays)
• t ? Zq (CDF Brlt0.137, ALEPH Brlt17, OPAL
  Brlt13.7)
• Reconstruct t ? Zq ? (ll-)j
• Sensitivity to Br(t ? Zq) 1,6 X 10-4 (100
  fb-1)
• t ? ?q (CDF Brlt0.032)
• Sensitivity to Br(t ? ?q) 2,5 X 10-5 (100
  fb-1)
• t ? gq
• Difficult identification because of the huge QCD
  bakground
• One looks for like-sign top production (ie. tt)
• Sensitivity to Br(t ? gq) 1,6 X 10-3 (100
  fb-1)

23
FCNC

• In general, the LHC will improve by a factor of
  at least 10 the Tevatron sensitivity to top-quark
  FCNC couplings
• LC has smaller statistics but also smaller
  background
• For anomalous interactions with a gluon the LHC
  has an evident advantage

24
LHC t?WbZ rare decay

• Studied at LHC
• Interesting BR depends strongly on Mtop
• Since MtopMWMbMZ
• With present error ?mt ? 5 GeV, BR varies over
  a factor ? 3
• B-jet too soft to be efficiently identified ?
• ? semi-inclusive study for a WZ near
• threshold, with Z ? ll- and W -gtjj
• Requiring 3 leptons reduces the Zjets
  background
• Sensitivity to Br(t ? WbZ) ?? 10-3 for 1 year at
  low lumi.
• Even at high L cant reach SM predictions (??
  10-7 - 10-6)

What is left before the LHC starts?

  couplings, exotic, resonances,
• Define a strategy for validation of the MC input
  models (e.g UE modeling and subtraction, jet
  fragmentation properties, jet energy profiles,
  b-fragmentation functions..)

What we know..
mH
No observable directly related to mH. However the
dependence can appear through radiative
corrections. ? tree level quantities changed
??, ?r f ln(mH/mW), mt2
The uncertainties on mt, mW are the dominating
ones in the electroweak fit
By making precision measurements (already
interesting per se) one can get information
on the missing parameter mH one can test the
validity of the Standard Model
