Expectations from LHC and LC for Top Physics Top Mass Couplings and decays Top spin polarization Single top production Marina Cobal Hadron Collider Physics 2004 Michigan State University, 14-18 June
Top quark mass is a fundamental parameter of the EW theory By far has the largest mass of all known fundamental particles In SM: top- and W-mass constrain Higgs mass Sensitivity through radiative corrections Scrutinize SM by precise determination top mass Top quark exists and will be produced abundantly ! window for new physics Many heavy particles decay in tt Handle on new physics by detailed properties of top And in addition… Experiment: Top quark useful to calibrate the detector (LHC) Beyond Top: Top quarks will be a major source of background for almost every search for physics beyond the SM (LHC) Motivations for Top Physics studies Marina Cobal - HCP2004

LC machine • Maybe some years after the LHC startup • ECM of operation 200-500 GeV, possible upgrade to 1 TeV • 80% Polarization of e- beam • Luminosity: 300 fb-1/year Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Cross section determined to NLO precision Total NLO(tt) = 834 ± 100 pb Largest uncertainty from scale variation Compare to other production processes: Top production cross section approximately 100x Tevatron Opposite @ FNAL Top production at LHC ~90% gg~10% qq Low lumi LHC is a top factory! Marina Cobal - HCP2004
..and at LC? • The ttbar cross section is ~103 smaller than at LHC, but higher L • s ~0,85 pb at max, around 390 GeV, and falls down with energy as 1/s ~200000 tt/year at TESLA parameters Marina Cobal - HCP2004

Near future of Mtop Tevatron only (di-lepton events or lepton+jet ) from W decays Status of inputs (preliminary): mt=(178.0 2.7 (stat) 3.3 (syst)) GeV/c2 (latest Tevatron updated combination – RunI data) mt=(175 17 (stat) 8 (syst)) GeV/c2 (CDF di-leptons – RunII data) mt=(178+13-9(stat) 7 (syst)) GeV/c2 (CDF lepton+jets – RunII data) Matter of statistics (also for the main systematics) and optimized use of the available information. Each experiment expects 500 b-tagged tt l+jets events/fb DMtop ~ 2-3 GeV/c2 for the Tevatron combined (2-4/fb) • mt 2.5 GeV ; mW 30 MeV mH/mH 35% In 2009 (if upgrade is respected) from Tevatron: DMtop = 1.5 GeV !! Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Problem for the top: what is the mass of a colored object? The top pole mass is not IR safe (affected by large long-distance contributions), cannot be determined to better than O(LQCD) Measurement of mt: At Tevatron/LHC: kinematic reconstruction, fit to invariant mass dist. at the LHC: accuracy 1-2 GeV (limited by FSR) At the LC, mainly from threshold behavior Measurement comparison data – Monte Carlo: involves transition from actually measured quantity to suitably defined (short-distance) top mass ‘Threshold mass’ at the LC: accuracy 20 MeV [M. Martinez, R. Miquel ’03] Transition to MS mass: dm 100 MeV [A. Hoang et al. ’00] What is the Top Mass? Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Br(ttbbjjl)=30%for electron + muon Golden channel Clean trigger from isolated lepton The reconstruction starts with the W mass: different ways to pair the right jets to form the W jet energies calibrated using mW Important to tag the b-jets: enormously reduces background (physics and combinatorial) clean up the reconstruction Lepton side Hadron side LHC: MTop from lepton+jet Typical selection efficiency: ~5-10%: • Isolated lepton PT>20 GeV • ETmiss>20 GeV • 4 jets with ET>40 GeV • >1 b-jet (b40%, uds10-3, c10-2) Background: <2% W/Z+jets, WW/ZZ/WZ Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Hadronic side W from jet pair with closest invariant mass to MW Require |MW-Mjj|<20 GeV Assign a b-jet to the W to reconstruct Mtop Kinematic fit Using remaining l+b-jet, the leptonic part is reconstructed |mlb -<mjjb>| < 35 GeV Kinematic fit to the tt hypothesis, using MW constraints j2 j1 b-jet t LHC: Lepton + jet, reconstruct top • Selection efficiency 5-10% Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Method works: Linear with input Mtop Largely independent on Top PT Biggest uncertainties: Jet energy calibration FSR: ‘out of cone’ give large variations in mass B-fragmentation Verified with detailed detector simulation and realistic calibration LHC: MTop systematics Challenge: determine the mass of the top around 1 GeV accuracy in one year of LHC Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Mtop LHC: Alternative mass determination • Select high PT back-to-back top events: • Hemisphere separation (bckgnd reduction, much less combinatorial) • Higher probability for jet overlapping • Use the events where both W’s decay leptonically (Br~5%) • Much cleaner environment • Less information available from two ’s • Use events where both W’s decay hadronically (Br~45%) • Difficult ‘jet’ environment • Select PT>200 GeV Various methods all have different systematics Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Use exclusive b-decays with high mass products (J/) Higher correlation with Mtop Clean reconstruction (background free) BR(ttqqb+J/) 5 10-5 ~ 30% 103 ev./100 fb-1(need high lumi) Top mass from J/ MlJ/ Different systematics (almost no sensitivity to FSR) Uncertainty on the b-quark fragmentation function becomes the dominant error M(J/+l) M(J/+l) Pttop Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Mtop at LC • Scan of the threshold for e+e-ttbar • Very precise measurements (< 20 MeV) • To perform this analysis with small systematic errors need to study: beam spread beamstrahlung initial state radiation • Simultaneous measurements of 3 physical observables: • stt • Pt of top • Forward-Backward asimmetry of top AtFB • Multiparameter fit up to 4 parameters • Mt (1S) • as(MZ) • Gt • gtH • Theoretical uncertainties to relate the 1S to the MS mass is ~ 100 MeV s(pb) Marina Cobal - HCP2004

Couplings and decays • Does the top quark behaves as expected in the SM? • Yukawa coupling to Higgs from ttbarH events • Electric charge • Top spin polarization • CP violation • At the LHC Yukawa coupling can be measured to < 20% from t-tbar H production • @ the LC, the precision of the measurement of the top Yukawa coupling will be better than ~ 10 % if mH ≤ 190 GeV/c2 • For a light Higgs (mH~120 GeV/c2): Precision ~ 5-6 % Marina Cobal - HCP2004
LHC: Couplings and decays • According to the SM: • Br(t Wb) 99.9%, Br(t Ws) 0.1%, Br(t Wd) 0.01% (difficult to measure) • Can probe t W[non-b] by measuring ratio of double b-tag to single b-tag • Statistics more than sufficient to be sensitive to SM expectation for Br(t W + s/d) • need excellent understanding of b-tagging efficiency/purity Marina Cobal - HCP2004
Search for anomalous Wtb couplings • The Wtb vertex can be probed and measured using either top pair production or single top production • Total tt rate depends weakly from Wtb vertex structure • C and P asymmetries, top polarization, spin correlations can provide interesting info • The single top production rate is instead directly proportional to the square of the Wtb coupling • LHC could rivale the reach of a high L (500 fb-1) 500 GeV LC Marina Cobal - HCP2004
LHC: FCNC Rare decays • In the SM the FCNC decays are highly suppressed (Br<10-13-10-10) • Any observation would be sign of new physics • FCNC can be detected through top decay or single top production • Sensitivity according to CMS studies (of top decays) : • t Zq(CDF Br<0.137, ALEPH Br<17%, OPAL Br<13.7%) • Reconstruct t Zq (l+l-)j • Sensitivity to Br(t Zq) = 1,6 X 10-4 (100 fb-1) • t q(CDF Br<0.032) • Sensitivity to Br(t q) = 2,5 X 10-5 (100 fb-1) • t gq • Difficult identification because of the huge QCD bakground • One looks for “like-sign” top production (ie. tt) • Sensitivity to Br(t gq) = 1,6 X 10-3 (100 fb-1) Marina Cobal - HCP2004
FCNC • In general, the LHC will improve by a factor of at least 10 the Tevatron sensitivity to top-quark FCNC couplings • LC has smaller statistics but also smaller background • For anomalous interactions with a gluon the LHC has an evident advantage Marina Cobal - HCP2004
LHC: tWbZ rare decay • Studied at LHC: Interesting: BR depends strongly on Mtop • Since Mtop~MW+Mb+MZ • With present error mt 5 GeV, BR varies over a factor 3 • B-jet too soft to be efficiently identified “semi-inclusive” study for a WZ near threshold, with Z l+l-and W ->jj • Requiring 3 leptons reduces the Z+jets background • Sensitivity to Br(t WbZ) 10-3 for 1 year at low lumi. • Even at high L can’t reach SM predictions ( 10-7 -10-6) G.
