  12. Top quark production _ _ • p p→ t t • s ~ 7.22 pb at √S = 1.96 TeV: • (NNLL, C. Schwinn, arXiv:1205.0988) • 90% qq→ t t; 10% gg→ t t _ _ _ _  … @ HQL 2012

  13. DIL event selection • Two high pT leptons • > 20 GeV (CDF), > 15 GeV(D0) • || < 2 • High missing ET due to the two neutrinos being missing in detection • Suppressing of Z boson events • High total transverse energy • Two or more jets @ HQL 2012

  14. Cross section using dilepton events, 5.1 fb-1 Mtop= 172.5 GeV/c2 @ HQL 2012

  15. Production cross section • DIL alone: (mtop=172.5 GeV) • = 7.36 +0.90 -0.79 (stat + syst +lumi) pb • Combined with LJ: • =7.56 +0.63–0.56 (stat+syst + lumi) pb @ HQL 2012

  18. Top production asymmetry • Differential cross section • Dependent on q2 and * Mttandy • There is asymmetry with respect to beamline _ @ HQL 2012

  19. Theoretical interest • Exotic gluons • massive chiral color • RS gluon • color sextets, anti-triplets • Intermediate Vector B´ • Z´, W´,… • … • Model building must contend with • total s in good agreement with SM • ds/dMtt in good agreement with SM @ HQL 2012

  20. Using the lepton + jets events CDF, full RUN II data, with good silicon, 8.7 fb-1 • high pT lepton (e/m) • Et/pt > 20 GeV (/c) • || < 1.0 • missing ET • Four or more jets • || < 2.0 • at least one b-tagged jet • || < 1.0 • 2498 events • 505±123 non-tt background • mostly W+jets b l ± _ b q’ q @ HQL 2012

  21. Top reconstruction @ HQL 2012

  22. _ Asymmetry in the tt rest frame ytt _ @ HQL 2012

  23. Asymmetryfor reconstructed tt _ @ HQL 2012

  24. _ Dependence on yttbackground subtracted @ HQL 2012

  25. Dependence on Mtt _ @ HQL 2012

  26. Afb in parton level • Using Unfolding Matrix to correct for the bias caused by acceptance of the detector/trigger and the reconstruction. • CDF, 8.7 fb-1 Afb = 0.162  0.047 • D0, 5.4 fb-1 Afb = 0.196  0.065 PRD 84, 112005 @ HQL 2012

  27. Conclusion • Both CDF and D0 have measured the total tt production cross section. The results are consistent between the two experiments and with the Standard Model. • Both CDF and D0 observe a large production asymmetry. • CDF observe dependence on the yttand Mtt. But the dependence on Mtt is not very strong at D0. • More studies from both CDF and D0 will come in the near future. • Differential cross section in terms of cos, etc. • Result from DIL channel _ _ _ @ HQL 2012

  37. Afb from di-lepton channel • In progress of blessing • Shows also strong asymmetry • Combining with the result from the lepton + jets channel and using full dataset we could reach 5 sigma, if this asymmetry is true. • Also some puzzles similar to lepton + jets result! • Such as smaller asymmetry in the not b tagged sample • Is this just statistical or is it telling us something that we are not aware of? @ HQL 2012

  38. Asymmetry categorized @ HQL 2012
