Synopsis

The top quark discovered in 1995 at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider is the heaviest known elementary particle. This book sets out for the first time an adaptation of a novel measurement technique that could have greatly improved the calculation of its mass.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The top quark, discovered in 1995 at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, is the heaviest known elementary particle. The precise knowledge of its mass yields important constraints on the mass of the as-yet-undiscovered Higgs boson and allows one to probe for physics beyond the Standard Model. With an excellent adaptation of a novel measurement technique, described and applied here for the first time, the sensitivity to the top quark mass in the dilepton final state at the D0 experiment could be improved by more than 30%. Moreover, an extension to the method is presented which allows future measurements to significantly reduce the main limiting systematic uncertainty.
