Top quark pair production cross section in the lepton+jets channel using b-tagging at D0
- Brown Univ., Providence, RI (United States)
The top quark pair production cross section measurement in the lepton+jets channel with b-tagging algorithm is described. About 900 pb-1 data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron are used for this analysis. In this thesis, event selection, background estimation, and cross section calculation are discussed in detail. In addition, calibration of the Luminosity Monitor readout electronics and a new b-tagging algorithm, the SLTNN tagger, are also discussed in this thesis.
