Title: Measurement of the W boson helicity in top quark decays using 5.4 fb⁻¹ of pp̄ collision data

Abstract

We present a measurement of the helicity of the W boson produced in top quark decays using tt¯ decays in the l+jets and dilepton final states selected from a sample of 5.4 fb⁻¹ of collisions recorded using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ collider. We measure the fractions of longitudinal and right-handed W bosons to be f₀=0.669±0.102[±0.078(stat.)±0.065(syst.)] and f₊=0.023±0.053[±0.041(stat.)±0.034(syst.)], respectively. This result is consistent at the 98% level with the standard model. A measurement with f₀ fixed to the value from the standard model yields f₊=0.010±0.037[±0.022(stat.)±0.030(syst.)].

  abstractNote = {We present a measurement of the helicity of the W boson produced in top quark decays using tt¯ decays in the l+jets and dilepton final states selected from a sample of 5.4 fb⁻¹ of collisions recorded using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp̄ collider. We measure the fractions of longitudinal and right-handed W bosons to be f₀=0.669±0.102[±0.078(stat.)±0.065(syst.)] and f₊=0.023±0.053[±0.041(stat.)±0.034(syst.)], respectively. This result is consistent at the 98% level with the standard model. A measurement with f₀ fixed to the value from the standard model yields f₊=0.010±0.037[±0.022(stat.)±0.030(syst.)].},

Measurement of the W boson helicity in top quark decays using 5.4 fb{sup -1} of pp collision data

Journal Article Abazov, V M ; Alexeev, G D ; Golovanov, G ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present a measurement of the helicity of the W boson produced in top quark decays using tt decays in the l+jets and dilepton final states selected from a sample of 5.4 fb{sup -1} of collisions recorded using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp collider. We measure the fractions of longitudinal and right-handed W bosons to be f{sub 0}=0.669{+-}0.102[{+-}0.078(stat.){+-}0.065(syst.)] and f{sub +}=0.023{+-}0.053[{+-}0.041(stat.){+-}0.034(syst.)], respectively. This result is consistent at the 98% level with the standard model. A measurement with f{sub 0} fixed to the value from the standard model yields f{sub +}=0.010{+-}0.037[{+-}0.022(stat.){+-}0.030(syst.).].

Measurement of the W boson helicity in top quark decays using 5.4 fb$$^{\boldsymbol{-1}}$$ of $$\boldsymbol{p\bar{p}}$$ collision data

Journal Article Abazov, Victor Mukhamedovich ; /Dubna, JINR ; Abbott, Braden Keim ; ... - Submitted to Phys.Rev.D

We present a measurement of the helicity of the W boson produced in top quark decays using t{bar t} decays in the {ell}+jets and dilepton final states selected from a sample of 5.4 fb{sup -1} of collisions recorded using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron p{bar p} collider.

Model-Independent Measurement of the W-Boson Helicity in Top-Quark Decays at D0

Journal Article Abazov, V M ; Alexeev, G D ; Kalinin, A M ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present the first model-independent measurement of the helicity of W bosons produced in top quark decays, based on a 1 fb{sup -1} sample of candidate tt events in the dilepton and lepton plus jets channels collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron pp Collider. We reconstruct the angle {theta}* between the momenta of the down-type fermion and the top quark in the W boson rest frame for each top quark decay. A fit of the resulting cos{theta}* distribution finds that the fraction of longitudinal W bosons f{sub 0}=0.425{+-}0.166(stat){+-}0.102(syst) and the fraction of right-handed W bosons f{sub +}=0.119{+-}0.090(stat){+-}0.053(syst),more »« less

Studies of the Strong and Electroweak Interactions at the Z⁰ Pole [Thesis]

Technical Report Hildreth, Michael Douglas

This thesis presents studies of the strong and electroweak forces, two of the fundamental interactions that govern the behaviour of matter at high energies. We have used the hadronic decays of Z⁰ bosons produced with the unique experimental apparatus of the e⁺e^- Linear Collider at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) for these measurements. Employing the precision tracking capabilities of the SLD, we isolated samples of Z⁰ events containing primarily the decays of the Z⁰ to a chosen quark type. With an inclusive selection technique, we have tested the flavor independence of the strong coupling,more »« less

Studies of the strong and electroweak interactions at the Z⁰ pole

Thesis/Dissertation Hildreth, Michael Douglas

This thesis presents studies of the strong and electroweak forces, two of the fundamental interactions that govern the behavior of matter at high energies. The authors have used the hadronic decays of Z⁰ bosons produced with the unique experimental apparatus of the e⁺e^- Linear Collider at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) for these measurements. Employing the precision tracking capabilities of the SLD, they isolated samples of Z⁰ events containing primarily the decays of the Z⁰ to a chosen quark type. With an inclusive selection technique, they have tested the flavor independence of the strong coupling, α_s by measuring the rates of multi-jet production in isolated samples of light (uds), c, and b quark events. They find: αmore »« less
