PHENO 2008 April 29th Tom Schwarz University of California Davis Measurement of the Forward-Backward Asymmetry In Top Production with 1.9 fb -1

The Front-Back Asymmetry 2 Measuring the forward-backward asymmetry in the production of top quarks in the p-pbar and t-tbar rest frame Two measurements are complimentary: p-pbar measurement less sensitive to measurement effects t-tbar asymmetry less sensitive to PDF dilution α

Why Measure It 3 Test of discrete symmetries of the strong interaction at high energy NLO QCD predicts an observable asymmetry in top pair production For A fb in top production in laboratory and t-tbar rest frame: Kuhn, Rodrigo Phys Rev Lett. 81,89 (1998)

Why Measure It 4 Several BSM production mechanisms predict an observable asymmetry ( Z`, Axigluons ) Especially interesting measurement for wide resonances Previous measurements at CDF used to place limits on Axigluon mass (695 pb -1 ) - T.

How Extract top-antitop events from the data collected at CDF Reconstruct the production angle of top in these events Fully correct for any distortion from the detector, background processes, and our method of reconstruction Measure A fb 5

Finding ttbar Events Measurement is performed in the lepton plus jets channel ≥ 4 Jets ( Et ≥ 20 GeV and η < 2.0 ) 1 Electron or Muon ( Et ≥ 20 GeV ) “Missing” Energy ( Et ≥ 20 GeV ) ≥1 Bottom “Tagged” Jet 6

Finding ttbar Events Measurement is performed in the lepton plus jets channel ≥ 4 Jets ( Et ≥ 20 GeV and η < 2.0 ) 1 Electron or Muon ( Et ≥ 20 GeV ) “Missing” Energy ( Et ≥ 20 GeV ) ≥1 Bottom “Tagged” Jet 7 In 1.9 fb -1 we observe 484 events with a predicted background ~ 86 events

8 To reconstruct a top event, we must match jets to partons Use topology of event to decide best combination Reconstructing The Top Direction Two similar but separate reconstruction algorithms are used to reconstruct the top direction in the p-pbar and t-tbar frame Two jets must form M W Three must form M top etc...

Production Angle 9 CDF Run II Preliminary α The p-pbar and t-tbar frame measurements use two different production angles to calculate the forward-backward asymmetry

Production Angle 10 CDF Run II Preliminary α The p-pbar and t-tbar frame measurements use two different production angles to calculate the forward-backward asymmetry In the p-pbar frame, the hadronic decaying top direction is more accurately reconstructed If we assume CP is conserved in the strong interaction then we can use only the hadronic decaying side to measure Afb

Production Angle 11 CDF Run II Preliminary α The p-pbar and t-tbar frame measurements use two different production angles to calculate the forward-backward asymmetry In the t-tbar frame, both top and anti-top are required, but we can use a nice relation between Cos θ and Δy Measuring the asymmetry using a Lorentz invariant quantity

Production Angle 12 CDF Run II Preliminary

Background Correction We correct for backgrounds by subtracting the predicted background from the data The resulting distribution is the predicted reconstructed shape for ttbar NOTE: Method of corrections are applied to both A fb analyses 13 CDF Run II Preliminary

Reconstruction Corrections 14 CDF Run II Preliminary The effect of imperfect reconstruction is a smearing of events between bins and therefore a dilution of the front-back asymmetry We model this effect in ttbar Monte Carlo in order to correct the data

The smearing of the “true” distribution is related to the “reconstructed” distribution by a matrix ~ 15% (25%) forward events reconstruct backward and vice-versa in the ( ) frame The matrix can be inverted to correct for smearing Reconstruction Corrections 15 CDF Run II Preliminary

The smearing of the “true” distribution is related to the “reconstructed” distribution by a matrix ~ 15% (25%) forward events reconstruct backward and vice-versa in the ( ) frame The matrix can be inverted to correct for smearing Reconstruction Corrections 16 CDF Run II Preliminary Unfolding corrections are insensitive to the underlying shape of the top Monte Carlo

Acceptance Correction Detector and Selection can introduce bias Selection Efficiency for bin ‘i’ : 17

Acceptance Correction 18 The distribution “after selection” can be related to the “true” distribution again by a matrix The matrix can be inverted to correct for acceptance

Putting It All Together The correction matrices are cascaded and applied to the background corrected data to produce a result independent of the effects of acceptance and reconstruction 19 Result is fully corrected for backgrounds, acceptance, and reconstruction: Directly Comparable to Theory Result is fully corrected for backgrounds, acceptance, and reconstruction: Directly Comparable to Theory

The Underlying Shape Distribution Truth A fb Corrected A fb A fb ⋅ Cos Θ+ K ⋅ Cos 6 Θ A fb ⋅ Cos Θ A fb ⋅ Cos Θ+ K ⋅ Sin 2 Θ A fb ⋅ Cos 5 Θ Is the method invariant to reasonable differences in the true production angle distribution from the SM prediction? Test entire machinery for various exotic scenarios The method is invariant to reasonable differences in the underlying distribution 20

Reweight the ttbar signal Monte Carlo at the truth level to measured A fb and observe agreement between reconstructed asymmetries Using pythia ttbar Monte Carlo with a linear asymmetric component: Afb ⋅ Cos Θ (1st order term) Reweighted events through the entire machinery of the analysis and compare the resulting reconstructed asymmetry to data 23 Cross-Check (Template Method)

Background Correction Backgrounds dilute the signal and, if they have any asymmetric components, bias it To properly correct for this effect we need to know the prod angle shape in background The background Cos Θ distribution is formed by putting the background models through the entire selection and reconstruction machinery 28

Background Correction How do we know the background shape is correct? Test in a background dominated side-band region (Anti-Tag Sample) Background prediction is consistent in this distribution 29 CDF Run II Preliminary

Background Prediction 30 For our selection we predict 373 top pairs with a S:B = 4:1 for a Top Mass of GeV in 1.9 fb -1 of collected data We observe 484 events with a predicted background of 85.7 events

Systematics 31 t-tbar p-pbar

32 Reconstructing The Event 4 jets must be matched to 4 partons 24 different combinations to choose from Jet and unclustered energies can vary within error Known Top Mass can be used as a constraint Choose combination with lowest χ 2

Acceptance Skew Acceptance plot is really just the HEPG top production angle distribution AFTER SELECTION divided by that BEFORE SELECTION 34

Acceptance Skew Can identify the culprit by breaking this down by jet multiplicity = 4 Jets ≥ 5 Jets 35

Acceptance Skew Break down 5 jet bin into Top and Anti-Top Production Angle Vs Truth(Note i’m not X by charge now) Very clear top is being polarized in one direction in the 5 jet bin So Why? Answer: Color flow and angular ordering of radiation 36

Color Flow Effects Angular ordering in QCD says that radiation is mostly contained within the cone formed by color lines. ttbar’s are mostly produced at threshhold so top is color connected to the incoming quark and tbar to the incoming qbar When top is produced in the same direction as the incoming quark, then the angle between them is small and angular ordering says most of the radiation flies down the beam pipe When top is produced in the opposite direction, the angle is large ( 180 degrees ) so there is a larger angle for the radation to go t t 37

Color Flow Effects Because we are selecting more central jets we are biased towards which translates into prefering This results in a polarization in the selected ttbar events in the 5 jet bin Thanks To S. Mrenna t t over 38
