1 Heavy Flavour: Identification (I) b- and c-hadrons decay weakly towards c- and s-hadrons, with a macroscopic lifetime (1.6 ps for b’s), corresponding to few mm’s at LEP  10 cm  1 cm 3d-vertexing determines secondary and tertiary vertices. High resolution is crucial. Impact parameters of reconstructed tracks allow b quarks to be tagged with very good purity. Mass of secondary vertex tracks is a very powerful discriminator of flavour (b, c, and light quarks):

2 Heavy Flavour: Identification (II) Vertex Mass for Events With a Secondary Vertex In SLD Vertex Mass (GeV/c 2 ) b (MC) c (MC) uds (MC) Data Vertex detectors (Si  -strips, CCD’s, pixels): At LEP: inner radius 6 cm, good resolution; At LEP: inner radius 6 cm, good resolution; At SLC: inner radius 2.3 cm, superior resolution. At SLC: inner radius 2.3 cm, superior resolution. SLD can do both b- and c-tagging with good purity.

3 Heavy Flavour:Results Use double-tag method to reduce uncertainties from the simulation, e.g., in bb events: Take  c,  uds, and  b (all small) from simulation. Solve for  b and R b ! 3 10 -3 With this measurement alone: m top  150  25 GeV/c 2 (dependence on m H,  s, … cancel in the ratio) R b =  bb /  had -

4 Prediction of M top A top mass of 177 GeV/c 2 was predicted by LEP & SLC with a precision of 10 GeV/c 2 in March 1994. One month later, FNAL announced the first 3  evidence of the top. In 2005: Perfect consistency between prediction and direct measurement. Allows a global fit of the SM (with m H ) to be performed. / SLD

11 Why top physics is interesting? Production cross section can be accurately predicted by QCD calculations BR(t  Wb)≈1 in SM. Measurement of V tb is test standard model Spin of W boson is direct probe of top spin and the only way to measure spin correlations in unbound quarks Are there resonances in the top quark pair spectrum? Measure top quark mass - dominant term in electro-weak radiative loop corrections provide constraint of Higgs boson mass Are there other objects that decay to b quarks and W bosons?

12 Top Quark Mass Today CDF & D0: The top quark mass measurement has become a precision determination.  crucial for SM tests

13 Mtop & Mz Mtop & MZ are very precisely known today

21 Standard Model Fit Internal Consistency of the Standard Model Largest discrepancy (-2.7  ) well inside statistical expectation;  2 probability ~ 20%. Just fine. A great success but we are still missing one very important ingredient  need to find the Higgs

22 Precision SM Tests: Summary –The 0.1% precision tests of the theory have taken approximately 20,000 man-years of effort!!! > 2000 physicists working for about 10 years –Its significance cannot be underestimated … the first fundamental force unification since Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism 100 years earlier points the way to greater unification and, perhaps, to a fully unified theory of fundamental interactions … demonstrates the relevance of Yang-Mills Gauge theories for an accurate description of nature at sub-atomic length scales validates the use of quantum field theory to determine higher order corrections to the tree-level processes provides support for the Higgs mechanism and suggests the existence of a light Higgs boson (with mass < 200 GeV)

41 Summary/Conclusions –The Standard Model is one of the great triumphs of 20th century science... –However, there are many unanswered questions which point the way to the need for new physics - and a more complete theory of elementary particles... (see lecture of A. Hocker) –Particle Physics has great relevance to Cosmology and the Early Universe and addresses many fundamental questions of the “what are we?”, “why are we here?” kind … –Plenty remains to be done and the key to the origin of mass and (maybe CP violation) may be just round the corner for the next generation of graduate students !

42 Without the Higgs (mechanism) … Quarks and Leptons would remain massless

43 Tevatron SM Higgs Search Updated in 2003 in the low Higgs mass region W(Z)H  l (,ll)bb to include  better detector understanding  optimization of analysis Sensitivity in the mass region above LEP limit starts at ~2 fb -1 Meanwhile  optimizing analysis techniques  understanding detectors better  searching for non-SM Higgs with higher production cross sections or enhanced branching into modes with lower backgrounds LEP Tevatron Ldt (fb -1) Tevatron Outlook: 2007: improve LEP limit of 114 GeV 2009: exclude up to 180 GeV - have 5 Sigma on Mh=115 GeV (2009 less optimistic: exclude up to 140 GeV - have 3 Sigma on Mh=115 GeV)
