Motivation We want to study a possible influence of jets on Bose-Einstein correlations studies. For this purpose we use 8 TeV tt-bar data which include ≥ 4 jets and compare it to 7 TeV Minimum Bias data.
Selection criteria Lint ≈ 20.3 fb−1 ATLAS √s = 8 TeV data Lint ≈ 20.3 fb−1 tt-bar semileptonic decay channel (lepton + jets) (Standard ttbar) Selection criteria: - Exactly 1 lepton with pT > 25 GeV and 0 ≤ |η| ≤ 2.5 - At least 4 jets with pT > 25 GeV and 0 ≤ |η| ≤ 2.5 - At least 1 b-tagged jet, using MV1 at ≈ 70 % efficiency Lepton = electron, muon

Conclusions We have seen a BEC-like effect in the tt-bar events. The BEC peak in tt-bar events is very similar to the one in the MinBias events. Jet track pairs have a tendency to fill low Q region, but it looks that they influence BEC peak weakly. Hard to distinguish between the jet effect, though small and the BEC one in tt-bar events. It is difficult to compare the tt-bar and MinBias data, because of different dynamics of the events resulting into different pT and Q distributions. We can continue to compare the fit results of the two event samples if needed -- ?
