  1. Preparing for first physics at the LHC “the role of the top quark” Ivo van Vulpen (Nikhef) Complex SMEarly tops SUSY Extra dimensions Early physics Now Calibrations Detector commissioning

  2. The famous top quark Paris Hilton Top Quark … everybody constantly talking about them … they are troublemakers, famous, important … buy why again ?

  3. Complex SMEarly tops SUSY Extra dimensions Early physics Now[6 slides] Calibrations Detector commissioning The Standard Model … and what’s wrong with it

  4. Particles Forces 1) Electromagnetism2) Weak nuclear force3) Strong nuclear force Quarks Leptons The Standard Model: Describes all measurements down to distances of 10-19 m

  5. Limits on mh from theoryLimits on mh from exper. “We know everything about the Higgs boson except its mass” Higgs mass (GeV) Triviality Vacuum stability Λ (GeV) Electroweak Symmetry breaking Electro-Weak Symmetry Breaking:(Higgs mechanism)- Weak gauge bosons and particles have mass- Regulate WW/ZZ scattering

  6. The standard model … boring ? “All measurements in HEP can be explained using the SM” “The Higgs boson will be discovered at the LHC at ~ 140 GeV” No. … there are many mysteries left!

  7. The big questions: • What explains (extreme) tuning of parameters: hierarchy problem ? • What is dark matter made of ? • Why is gravity so different ?

  8. The mysteries of the SM • Why is gravity not a part of the Standard Model ? • What is the origin of particle mass ? (Higgs mechanism) • In how many dimensions do we live ? • Are the quarks and leptons really the fundamental particles ? • Are there new symmetries in nature ? • Why are there only 3 families of fermions ? • Are protons really stable ? • Why is electric charged quantized ? • Why is there more matter than anti-matter in our universe ? • What is the nature of dark matter and dark energy ? • Do quantum corrections explodeat higher energies ? • Why are neutrino masses so small ?

  9. Extra dimensions ? Super-Symmetry ? String theory ? Edward Witten’s latest insight ?  Standard Model is an ‘approximation’ of a more fundamental one.  Model breaks down at 1-10 TeV New phenomena will appear at distances ~ 10-19 m 2009

  10. Complex SMEarly tops SUSY Extra dimensions Early physics Now Calibrations Detector commissioning [9 slides] • The LHC accelerator • The ATLAS detector (testbeam, cosmics, beam)

  30. Top quark physics (with b-tag information) Top physics is ‘easy’ at the LHC Selection: Lepton + multiple jets+ 2 b-jetskills the dominant background from W+jets Systematic errors on Mtop (GeV)in semi-leptonic channel Nr of Evts/ 4 GeV Top signal W+jets Mjjb (GeV) Could we see top quarks when selection is not based on b-tag ?

  36. MW(had) MW = 78.1±0.8 GeV Events / 5.1 GeV S/B = 0.5 Jet energy scale Determine Light-Jet energy scale (1) Abundant source of W decays into light jets • Invariant mass of (light-) jets should add up to well known W mass (80.4 GeV) Light jet energy scale calibration (1% for 1 pb-1) t t Pro:- Large event sample - Small physics backgrounds Con: - Only light quark jets - Limited Range in PT andη

  37. Using top quark events to obtain a clean sample of b-quarks Calibrate/test b-tagging in complex event topology (2) Abundant clean source of b-jets • 2 out of 4 jets in event are b-jets  ~50% a-priori purity (extra ISR/FSR jets) • The 2 light quark-jets can be identified (should form W mass) t t Conventional: - Rejection in di-jet sample - Efficiency using semi-lept. decays
