EPS HEPP Prize 2013

The 2013 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize, for an outstanding contribution to High Energy Physics, is awarded to the ATLAS and CMS collaborations,“for the discovery of a Higgs boson, as predicted by the Brout-Englert-Higgs mechanism”, and to Michel Della Negra, Peter Jenni, and Tejinder Virdee,“for their pioneering and outstanding leadership roles in the making of the ATLAS and CMS experiments”.

  • Short top quark lifetime (∼ 5 × 10−25 s) means spin information is

Heavy Ion Collisions

Recently results from LHC compare Pb-Pb and p-p collisions.

Looking for signatures of new states of matter e.g Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) Uses p-p collisions as a control channel. Problem is big differences between Pb-Pb and p-p collisions.

Recent run at LHC in 2013 dedicated to investigating p-Pb collisions.

Disentangle initial state effects. Highlights any effects to to cold nuclear matter. Lets LHCb into the Heavy Ion game!

Collide p-Pb and Pb-p to get forward and backward measurements.

ttH Combination

CMS combined results:

μ < 3.4 (2.7 expected) ✦ Would improve even more when additional channels are added and combined with ATLAS (once the analysis is updated) ✦ Closing on the SM Higgs boson sensitivity!

Soon to become the 6th of the “big” channels and can be moved into “visible” category of my talk!

Single Top Production

  • Direct probe of Wtb coupling and of

Vtb in CKM matrix.

  • Challenging, mainly due to

the background from W +jets.

  • Need MVA techniques.
  • s + t-channel production
  • bserved at CDF and D0 in

2009.

  • t-channel observed both at

Tevatron and LHC.

  • Evidence for s-channel

production at D0.

  • Observation of Wt-channel

production at CMS. (Evidence by both ATLAS and CMS 2012/2013.)

New Lifetime-Based Measurement by CMS

  • Lifetime-based technique, using

Lxy = γbβBτB ≈ 0.4 · mt

mB βBτB.

  • First used at CDF

.

  • Phys. Rev. D75, 071102 (2007)
  • Linear mass dependence,

∆Lxy/GeV = 25 − 30µm

  • Complementary systematics to

traditional measurements, e.g. minimal dependence on jet energy scale.

  • In each event, select secondary

vertex with largest Lxy.

  • Median,

Lxy, is used to extract mtop. mtop = 173.5 ± 1.5(stat) ± 1.3(syst) ± 2.6(pT (t)) GeV

Top Quark Polarization

  • Top quarks in t¯

t events have negligible polarization in SM.

  • Can occur in BSM scenarios

(e.g. models with large FB asymmetry).

  • Polar angle of decay product

i distributed as: W(cos θi) = 1

2(1 + αiP cos θi)

P = degree of polarization, αi = spin-analyzing power.

  • At tree level, charged leptons

and down-type quarks from W-boson decays have αi = 1.

  • Fit cos θℓ distributions for

e and µ to extract αℓP. αlPCPC = −0.035 ± 0.014 ± 0.037 αlPCPV = 0.020 ± 0.016+0.013
