Tools from Physics Research

" Parallel computing – the use of many

computers to attack different parts of a

problem simultaneously – was invented by

scientists who needed faster real-time

processing of data. Such techniques are

now the mainstay of weather forecasting

and market trend analyses.

" Medical imaging tools – Magnetic

Resonance Imaging (MRI), PET scan

detectors, tracer nuclides, CAT scans are

derived from techniques invented for

research.

Accelerators for SocietyParticle accelerators were devised to produce high energy

probes for studying the atom.

Now they are used for medical therapy, medical

diagnostics, materials research, making electronic circuits,

nuclear waste disposal and food sterilization.

Identifying particles

The quarks (and gluons) are seen as jets –sprays of particles travelling in similardirections

Jets from b-quarks are of particular interest; they havesome particles that live for a long time and their decaysare separated from the primary interaction point by amillimeter or so, and sensed in the inner silicontracking detector

Neutrinos do not interact at all, but can be sensed bythe imbalance in momentum of all the observedparticles. We ‘observe’ them in the sense of SherlockHolmes’ dog that did not bark in the night.

Methodology & tools

Full characterization of the chosen final statesignature in terms of SM background processes (controlregion)

– Optimize signal region for best measurement precision

• How to separate signal from background:

– Top events have very distinctive signatures

• Decay products (leptons, neutrinos, jets) have large pT’s

• Event topology: central and spherical

• Heavy flavor content: always 2 b jets in the final state!

• Tools (need multipurpose detectors!):

– Lepton ID: detector coverage and robust tracking

– Calorimetry: hermetic and well calibrated

– B identification: algorithms pure and efficient

– Simulation: essential to reach precision goals

How to tag a high pT B-jet

Silicon Vertex Tag• Signature of a b decay is

a displaced vertex:– Long lifetime of b hadrons

(c" ~ 450 µm)+ boost

– B hadrons travel Lxy~3mmbefore decay with largecharged track multiplicity

B-tagging at hadron machinesestablished:

•crucial for top discovery in RunI•essential for RunII physics program

Soft Lepton Tag

! Exploits the b quarks semi-leptonic decays

# These leptons have a softerpT spectrum than W/Zleptons

# They are less isolated

•4 jets: large blasts of particles – (red and blue towers). One of the jets

will often contain a low energy or "soft" muon (dotted green line).

•Muon: green tower

•Neutrino : undetected

Top Mass Calculation using D0 data

•Mass: The mass is determined from the magnitude of themomenta. While the momentum of the total system is zero, themomenta of the various particles are very different.

•Momentum: The data plot shows the direction of themomenta and the magnitude reported in GeV/c for allparticle seen by the detector.

•Momentum conservation

•Transverse momentum is cero

•Because almost all of the energy of the collision is the resultof top and antitop decay, simply add the energies of the fourjets, the lepton and the neutrino before dividing by the twotops (actually a top and an antitop quark) to obtain themass of the most recently discovered quark.

•Neutrino almost does not interact with the material leavingno track in the detector

•you need to infer the momentum of the neutrino

• Doing this for many events,

•you plot the result for each of them obtaining a Top massdistribution => improve the measurement by fitting thedistribution

Top Mass Calculation using D0 data

•This is a very simplyfied version

•First order to undertand the idea is OK
