High p_T Top Quarks at the Large Hadron Collider

Baur, U., Orr, L. H.

Understand

Many new physics models predict resonances with masses in the TeV range which decay into a pair of top quarks.

  • With its large cross section, t\bar t production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) offers an excellent opportunity to search for such particles.
  • The identification of very energetic top quarks is crucial in such an analysis.
  • We consider in detail the t\bar t\to\ell^\pm\nu b\bar bq\bar q' (\ell=e, \mu) final state for high p_T top quarks.
