tt reconstruction and mt
In Physics TDR
Inclusive single lepton + jets
High Pt single lepton plus jets
Di-lepton events
First look at all jets mode
s(mt) < 2 GeV possible (systematic errors)
Updates performed for all of these
topologies, and new analyses started
Marina Cobal
Lund, 12-16 Sept 2001
After Physics TDR
Kinematic fit of entire event
(P. Roy, see presentation at this meeting)
Systematics of using different MC generators

ATLAS COM-PHYS-2001-004
(M. David, M. Cobal, A. De Angelis, A. Maio)

Mt measurement with Herwig 6.1, Pythia 6.115, Isajet 7.49

Herwig, Pythia very similar. More gluon rad in Isajet

DMjjb ~ 0.1 ± 0.1 GeV (Herwig- Pythia)
~ -2.2 ± 0.1 GeV (Isajet-Pythia)
High PT subsample
(F. Fassi, see presentation at this meeting)
Marina Cobal
Lund, 12-16 Sept 2001
After Physics TDR (II)
All jets final state
(Lj. Simic,G. Skoro, I. Mendas, D. Popovic)

Extract signal above the large QCD bkgnd
QCD with Pythia and s(Pt > 100 GeV) = 1.7 mb
Njets >= 6, Pt(j) > 40 GeV, Nbjet>=2, S/B ~1/19
 Subsample
with Pt(top) > 200 GeV, has 3300 evts
per 10 fb-1, with S/B ~ 18/1
 Kinematic
and event shapes does not help to
improve S/B
 Instead, perform
kinematic fit to tt
hypothesis after cut
on c2, S/B ~ 5/1

Rare decays
In Physics TDR
 FCNC top decays
- according to SM, would be impossible to be detected
even at the LHC (Br < O(10-10))
- however, enhanced in many Beyond SM theories
- results for t  Zc, gc,gc presented
sensitivity to Br ~ O(10-5) (7.10-3 for gc)
After Physics TDR
 t  Hc

Strongly suppressed in SM ( Br (t  Hq) ~ 10-8-10-7)
Analysis on final states: tt  HqWb  bbj,lnb (l=e,m)
Sensitivity of ATLAS requiring >5 signal events,
assuming no bckgnd at high L, 100% signal efficiency
Hypothesis: bckgnd for WH channel can be reduced
by additional cuts and reconstruction of t  Hq mass

RPV SUSY decays of top
If RPV exists can have significant top decay widths
for certain 3-body final states
(hep-ph/0002220, Belyaev, Ellis, Lola).
(i.e: t  c0ql)
F. Martin used COMPHEP to calculate decay
width for t  c0bm as a fcn of RPV coupling l’233

Other possibilities can be considered:
- t  c0ql, followed by c0  qql
(can result in same-sign lepton signal)

EW single top
In Physics TDR
Possible to:
see signals
measure Vtb in each prod. mode
see predicted top and W polarization in Wg fusion
(at parton level) showed
After Physics TDR
ATLAS PHYS-2000-017
(B. Gonzalez Pineiro, D. O’ Neil, R. Brock, M. Lefebvre)
top, W polarization with detector smearing
with 10 fb-1 can measure W and top pol.,
with errors < 2%
varying bkgnd by +-20% 
<1% syst. error in polarization.

tt spin correlation
In Physics TDR
studied lab-frame angles between charged leptons
in dilepton events
(V. Simak)
After Physics TDR
extended study to single lepton + jet events
(L. Hinz)
Dileptonic channel :
 low statistics  k = -0.33
Semileptonic channel :
 high statistics  k = 0.11
dilepton events analysed using event reconstruction
(K. Smolek, V. Simak, P. Homola)

Marina Cobal
Lund, 12-16 Sept 2001
 Models distinguishable with 3s after 10 fb¯ 1 for flj
After 3 years at low luminosity sensitivity to a
max effect of 0.7% with 2s
New physics
 necessary to be sensitive to a max effect
little than 1%
 possible after 3 years at low luminosity
Semileptonic channel

easy to reconstruct neutrino

direct measurement of k in top rest frame
Dileptonic channel

greater effect but lower statistics compared to
semileptonic
Semileptonic is complementary to
dileptonic channel

 Have to completely simulate new physics models to
better quantify ATLAS sensitivity to each one

CP violation
Due to CKM, extremely small in top sector
 any observation would be a sign of new physics
Different observables can be considered
- DNLR = (Nll-NRR)/(all tt evts)
- A = <Elep+> - <Elep-> / [< Elep+> - <Elep->]
In Physics TDR
Dedicated studies not yet started
After Physics TDR
Studies underway
(see presentation of J. Sjolin)

topologies and precisely determine mt improved
Several new studies recently started
