The Top quark• Properties
Standard Model • Charge : + 2/3• Spin : 1/2• Mass : A free parameter • Life time: ~10-25 s
• Top quark pairs are produced via proton antiproton collisions at Tevatron.

DIL event selection• Two high pT leptons
– > 20 GeV (CDF), > 15 GeV(D0)– || < 2
• High missing ET due to the two neutrinos being missing in detection
• Suppressing of Z boson events • High total transverse energy• Two or more jets

• Exotic gluons– massive chiral color – RS gluon– color sextets, anti-triplets
• Intermediate Vector B´– Z´, W´,…

• Model building must contend with – total s in good agreement with SM– ds/dMtt in good agreement with SM

Using the lepton + jets events
• high pT lepton (e/m)– Et/pt > 20 GeV (/c)– || < 1.0
• missing ET
• Four or more jets– || < 2.0
• at least one b-tagged jet– || < 1.0
• 2498 events• 505±123 non-tt background

Afb in parton level• Using Unfolding Matrix to correct for the bias
caused by acceptance of the detector/trigger and the reconstruction.
• CDF, 8.7 fb-1
Afb = 0.162 0.047
• D0, 5.4 fb-1
Afb = 0.196 0.065 PRD 84, 112005
June, 11-21, 2012 26@ HQL 2012
Conclusion• Both CDF and D0 have measured the total tt production cross
section. The results are consistent between the two experiments and with the Standard Model.
• Both CDF and D0 observe a large production asymmetry.
• CDF observe dependence on the ytt and Mtt. But the dependence on Mtt is not very strong at D0.
• More studies from both CDF and D0 will come in the near future.– Differential cross section in terms of cos, etc. – Result from DIL channel

Afb from di-lepton channel• In progress of blessing
• Shows also strong asymmetry
• Combining with the result from the lepton + jets channel and using full dataset we could reach 5 sigma, if this asymmetry is true.
• Also some puzzles similar to lepton + jets result!– Such as smaller asymmetry in the not b tagged sample– Is this just statistical or is it telling us something that we are not aware
of?
