Search for resonances decaying into top-quark pairs using fully hadronic decays in pp collisions with ATLAS at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

ATLAS Collaboration

Understand

A search for resonances produced in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions and decaying into top-quark pairs is described.

  • In this Letter events where the top-quark decay produces two massive jets with large transverse momenta recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are considered.
  • Two techniques that rely on jet substructure are used to separate top-quark jets from those arising from light quarks and gluons.
  • In addition, each massive jet is required to have evidence of an associated bottom-quark decay.
