Welcome to the CDF RUN II Top Group Public page. For question and comments, or if you are giving a talk, please contact the current Top Group Convenors ( Patrizia Azzi and Jaco Konigsberg).



ttbar cross section measurements



Cross section in the lepton+jets channel (pretag) using kinematical information:



Cross section in the dilepton channel using fully reconstructed e,mu



Caption Thumbnails Caption Thumbnails
Ht distribution of the dilepton candidate events superimposed with the Ht distribution from tt MC. Ht cut is Ht>200 GeV. Lepton Pt, two entries per event.
Met for the dilepton candidates and tt MC Dphi vs Met distribution of the dilepton data events (symbols) overlapped with the distribution from tt MC dilepton events (yellow dots). The plot is done after all cuts are applied.
Dilepton invariant mass distribution for the candidate events superimposed with the same distribution from tt MC. Jet multiplicity distribution
Jet multiplicity distribution (top not shown, background uncertainty shown instead) Summary table of backgrounds and signal expectations along with the number of observed events in data.
Summary table of backgrounds and signal expectations along with the number of observed events in data for the different jet multiplicity bins after all cuts. . .


Cross section in the dilepton channel using fully reconstructed lepton plus an isolated track





Top mass measurements



Mass reconstruction in the lepton+jets channel with SVX btag



Description Thumbnails Description Thumbnails
Fitted Top Mass. Remember to turn off anti-aliasing (State menu) in ghostview to see the hatching! Background Mass templates. Reconstructed mass distributions for W+jets (mistag) in top-left, Wbb in top-right, s-channel single top in bottom-left, and t-channel single top in bottom-right.
Combined Background Mass template. Pull distributions vs. Top mass. The center of mass pull distribution (left) and the width of mass pull distribution (right) from the pseudo-experiments as a function of the input top mass. Top plots use a symmetrized error, while the bottom plots make use of the reported asymmetric errors.
Expected statistical uncertainties vs. Top mass using mean (top-left), median (top-right), 68% CL (bottom-left), and 90% CL (bottom-right). Expected statistical uncertainty distribution with top mass of 175 GeV.
Expected statistical uncertainty distribution with top mass of 180 GeV. Background Estimate Table eps
Uncertainties due to Jet Energy Scale Table eps Uncertainty Summary Table eps
