Measurement of the top-quark pair-production cross section in events with two leptons and bottom-quark jets using the full CDF data set

Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 88:9 (2013)

Authors:

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the top-quark pair production cross section in proton-antiproton collisions at √s=1.96 TeV. The data were collected at the Fermilab Tevatron by the CDF II detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 8.8 fb-1, representing the complete CDF Run II data set. We select events consistent with the production of top-quark pairs by requiring the presence of two reconstructed leptons, an imbalance in the total event transverse momentum, and jets. At least one jet is required to be identified as consistent with the fragmentation of a bottom quark using a secondary-vertex-finding algorithm. The 246 candidate events are estimated to have a signal purity of 91%. We measure a cross section of σ tt̄=7.09±0.84 pb, assuming a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV/c2. The results are consistent with the standard model as predicted by next-to-leading-order calculations. Published by the American Physical Society.

Indirect measurement of sin²θw (MW) using e⁺e^- pairs in the Z-boson region with p̄p collisions at a center-of-momentum energy of 1.96 TeV

Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 88:7 (2013)

Authors:

Abstract:

Drell-Yan lepton pairs are produced in the process p̄p→e +e-+X through an intermediate γ*/Z boson. The lepton angular distributions are used to provide information on the electroweak-mixing parameter sin2θw via its observable effective-leptonic sin2θw, or sinâ¡2θefflept. A new method to infer sin 2θw or, equivalently, the W-boson mass MW in the on-shell scheme, is developed and tested using a previous CDF Run II measurement of angular distributions from electron pairs in a sample corresponding to 2.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity from p̄p collisions at a center-of-momentum energy of 1.96 TeV. The value of sinâ¡2θefflept is found to be 0.2328±0.0011. Within a specified context of the standard model, this results in sin 2θw=0.2246±0.0011, which corresponds to a W-boson mass of 80.297±0.055 GeV/c2, in agreement with previous determinations in electron-position collisions and at the Tevatron collider. © 2013 American Physical Society.
