Abstract

We present recent measurements of the top quark mass using events collected at the CDF and D0 detectors from p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. These analyses are performed using events consistent with the decay channel t{bar t} {yields} {bar b}{ell}{sup -}{bar v}{sub {ell}}b{ell}' + v'{sub {ell}}, or the dilepton channel. 230-360 pb{sup -1} of data are used.

Precise measurement of the top quark mass in the dilepton channel at D0

Journal Article Abazov, Victor; Abbott, Braden; Acharya, Bannanje; ... - Submitted to Phys.Rev.Lett.

We measure the top quark mass (m{sub t}) in p{bar p} collisions at a center of mass energy {radical}s = 1.96 TeV using dilepton t{bar t} {yields} W{sup +}bW{sup -}{bar b} {yields} {ell}{sup +} {nu}{sub {ell}}b{ell}{sup -} {bar {nu}}{sub {ell}}{bar b} events, where {ell} denotes an electron, a muon, or a tau that decays leptonically. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb{sup -1} collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We obtain m{sub t} = 174.0 {+-} 1.8(stat) {+-} 2.4(syst) GeV, which is in agreement with the current world average m{sub t} = 173.3more »« less

Top quark mass measurement from dilepton events at CDF II

Journal Article Abulencia, A; Acosta, D; Adelman, Jahred; ... - Phys.Rev.Lett.96:152002,2006

We report a measurement of the top quark mass using events collected by the CDF II Detector from p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. We calculate a likelihood function for the top mass in events that are consistent with t{bar t} {yields} {bar b}{ell}{sup -}{bar {nu}}{sub {ell}}b{ell}{prime}{sup +}{nu}{sub {ell}}{prime} decays. The likelihood is formed as the convolution of the leading-order matrix element and detector resolution functions. The joint likelihood is the product of likelihoods for each of 33 events collected in 340 pb{sup -1} of integrated luminosity, yielding a top quark mass M{sub t}more »« less

A Measurement of the Top Quark Mass in the Dilepton Decay Channel at CDF II

Thesis/Dissertation Jayatilaka, Bodhitha

The top quark, the most recently discovered quark, is the most massive known fundamental fermion. Precision measurements of its mass, a free parameter in the Standard Model of particle physics, can be used to constrain the mass of the Higgs Boson. In addition, deviations in the mass as measured in different channels can provide possible evidence for new physics. We describe a measurement of the top quark mass in the decay channel with two charged leptons, known as the dilepton channel, using data collected by the CDF II detector from p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions with √s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilabmore »« less

Top Quark Mass in the Dilepton and Alljets Channels

Conference Jayatilaka, Bodhitha

Recent measurements of the top quark mass in the dilepton (t{bar t} to {bar b} {ell}{sup -} {bar {nu}}{ell}b {ell}{sup '+} {nu}{sub {ell}}{sup '}) and alljets (t{bar t} to b{bar b}q {bar q}'q' {bar q}$) decay channels from the CDF and D0 collaborations are presented. These decay channels provide unique challenges from the lepton+jets decay channel. Results utilizing up to 2.8 fb{sup -1} of p{bar p} collider data from the Fermilab Tevatron are discussed.
Top quark mass measurement from dilepton events at CDF II with the matrix-element method

Journal Article Abulencia, A; Acosta, D; Adelman, Jahred; ... - Phys.Rev.D74:032009,2006

We describe a measurement of the top quark mass using events with two charged leptons collected by the CDF II detector from p{bar p} collisions with {radical}s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. The likelihood in top mass is calculated for each event by convoluting the leading order matrix element describing q{bar q} {yields} t{bar t} {yields} b{ell}{nu}{sub {ell}}{bar b}{ell}{prime} {nu}{sub {ell}}, with detector resolution functions. The presence of background events in the data sample is modeled using similar calculations involving the matrix elements for major background processes. In a data sample with integrated luminosity of 340 pb{sup -1},more »« less
