  3. The top quark and extra dimensions Geography and compositeness Top couplings 1. motivation

  4. The top quark and extra dimensions • Top quark : no hadronisation clean and detailed observations • Randal – Sundrummodelswithextra dimensions provide an elegantway to address the hierarchyproblem • A geographicalinterpretationof Yukawacouplingsisgiven • Thesemodelscanbeseen as dual to composite models(AdS/CFT correspondence) • In thesemodels, the top quark and the Higgs are compositeobjects

  5. Geography and compositeness • Higgs on IR brane for gauge hierarchyproblem • SM fermions have different locations along the 5th dimension • Overlaps leptons – Higgs in the 5th dimension generate good Yukawacouplingswith O(1) localisation parameters e0 t0 IR brane (TeV) UV brane (MPl) H Aµ0 bulk y (5th dim.) 0 πR

  6. Top couplings • Several RS modelspredictmodifiedleftgZ(tL) and right gZ(tR) top couplings to Z (via Z-ZKKmixing) Δg(tL)/g(tL) Δg(tR)/g(tR) SM 0,0 Djouadi [1]-1%,-34% Hosotani [2] +18%,-7% Carena [4] 0,-20% Gherghetta [3] -20%,-20%

  7. Observables Top quark cross section Measurementwith the ILD detector Reconstruction whithin the ILD framework Requirements Methodadopted 2. Measurementmethod

  8. Observables • Our goal : measuregZ(tL) and gZ(tR) precisely • Use of the simulation for the ILD detector at the ILC (1000fb-1) : top producedat500 GeV • How : measureσ(tt), ALR and AFB • From ALR and AFB, one deducesgZ(tL) and gZ(tR) couplings • Semileptonicdecaymode : tt(bW)(bW)(bqq)(blv) Gives top charge Allows reconstruction of the top quark

  9. Top quark cross section • σ(tt) ≈ 600 fbat 500 GeV(≈ 180 fb for SL top into e and µ) • Major background : ZWW (Zbb)≈ 8fb, sametopology • Almost background free

  10. Measurementwith the ILD detector • ILD optimised forParticle Flow technique(i.e. reconstructeveryparticle in a jet) • 3.5 T B-field • Performances : • Vertexing : σIP = 5 µm (+) 10 µm/p(GeV)sin3/2θ • Tracking : σ(1/pT) < 5.10-5GeV-1 • Granularcalorimetry : σE/E = 30%/√E

  11. Reconstruction whithin the ILD framework • tt(bW)(bW)(bqq)(blv) = semileptonicdecay mode • 1000 fb-1weregeneratedwithWhizard (6f final states e.g. bbcseve) • Full simulation isdonewith the ILD detector under GEANT4 (Mokka software) • « Objects » reconstructedwithParticle Flow algorithm (Pandora) • Data used : samplesprepared for the LOIs

  12. Requirements • ttbbqqlv (l=e,µ) • Needat least 1 b jet (vertex) • Find 1 lepton (tracking) • Method : • Find a lepton • Force 4 jets clustering • Findat least 1 (or 2) b jets • Form the top withone b jet + 2 non-b jets left, lepton charge gives the opposite sign of the top

  13. Methodadopted • In this talk : • Review of lepton selectionefficiency • Major backgrounds discussed : ZWW, ttbbqqτv • Full study for later : • Hadronic top (not checkedyet) • Add all other backgrounds (purity) • Report on systematics of the observables

  14. Identification of leptons Isolation Efficiencies and purities of the selected lepton Efficiencies : angular and energetic 3. Efficiencies

  15. Indentification of leptons • Ratherloosecuts : • Muon oftenpicks a small pion cluster in the calorimeters • Same for electron / photon • Impose isolation criteria for lepton insideits jet

  16. Isolation • In reconstructedevents, look at the true (MC) lepton : • Events forced to 4 jets • ttbbqqlv : 4 jets + 1 lepton • Define : • z = Elepton/Eclosest jet • pT in the closest jet • Lepton is : • Leading (high z) • Or isolated (highpT) • Not leading or isolated O(1%) True lepton embeddedinside a jet

  17. Isolation • Sameview for identified leptons (muons here) • Isolation criteria : (rejects BlvX, • + highest z and mis-ids) (if Nleptons>1) Remark : studydonewithperfecttracking best efficiencyachievable

  18. Efficiencies and purities of the lepton • Trackinginefficiencies : • Muon = 94.4 % - 92.6 % = 1.8 % (|cos θ|>0.97) • Electron = 93.5 % - 87.7 % = 5.8 % (TPC disk,|cos θ|>0.97)

  19. Efficiencies : angular and energetic • Effienciesunder control : • Trackingworseat large angles and in the TPC disk • Leptons withsmallenergies are suppressed by isolation

  20. Results Cross section and ALR Conclusions and prospects 4. Results

  21. Results • Simulation donewith full e+e- polarisation i.e. P(e+e-)=(±1, ±1)  P(e+e-)=(±30%, ±80%) • ZWW isverysmall ( < 1%) : • canbemeasured : veto on b (Z  uu, dd, ss, cc) • and substracted • Comment on ttbbqqτv : • Lepton of τlvvdecayreconstructed ( ≈ 35% of τevents) • Addsstatistics for σ(tt), ALRand AFB (wherehadronic top direction willbereconstructed)

  22. Cross-section and ALR • σ = N/(εL), L = 500fb-1 • σ(ttSL)unpol. = 159.4 fb, Δσ/σ = 0.37% (stat.) • Whizard : σ(ttSL)unpol. = 159.6 fb (-0.1%) • P(e+e-)= (±30%, ±80%)  Δσ/σ= 0.28%/0.42% (stat.) • ALR = 0.435, ΔALR/ALR = 0.54% (stat.) • ALR = 0.37 expected… Whizardproblem ? • However, interest lies in relative uncertainty • P(e+e-)= (±30%, ±80%)  ΔALR/ALR= 0.69% (stat.)

  23. Conclusion and prospects • To find a lepton (e,µ) in a semileptonicenvironmentefficiency > 88% , purity > 98% • Major backgrounds seemunder control (ZWW and ttbbqqτv) • Furtherchecks of backgrounds e.g. top full hadronicdecaysneeded • σ and ALRcanbeknownat 0.4% and 0.7% statisticaluncertainty (systematicsguaranteedsmall due to large purity) • One stepbeyond : reconstruct the hadronic top quark to measure AFB, mtop • Next : add background and check purity (cutbasedanalysisforeseen)

  24. Extractefficiency and purity of the selected lepton Addingelectrons and muons Top physics : LHC and ILC Angular distribution : top vs lepton Finding ZWW in bbqqlvevents Comparative distributions ZWW/tt Semileptonic taus : tt  bbqqτv Full hadronic tops Top couplings : bibliography 5. Additionalmaterial

  25. Extractefficiency and purity of the selected lepton • Count number of selected leptons with the previouscriteria (atreconstructedlevel) • Wedefinex = Proba of good lepton choseny = Proba of mis-id. • How to migrate ? • Highest z : 90.7 % good • x = 92.6% • y = 6.9 % • After migration : 1.2 % of bad muons x(1-y)+ y(1-x) Negligible (1-x)(1-y) xy

  26. Addingelectrons and muons • Now : takeanykind of lepton • highest z candidate amongindentified muons and electrons • Efficiencyexpectedhigher, but purityshoulddecrease

  27. LC 1 pb, LHC 1nb but for gluon couplings only Very good s/b at ILC and energy/momentum conservation allows to reconstruct modes with a neutrino Mt and Gt with ≈50 MeV error, 0.4% on cross section LC unique to measure tR and tL Z couplings at % (ND>4) LHC > 10 times worse Top physics : LHC and ILC ILD

  28. Angular distribution : top vs lepton • For P(e-) = +1 (e-R) : correlationbetween directions of the lepton and its top • For P(e-) = -1 (e-L) : anticorrelation

  29. Finding ZWW in bbqqlvevents • Using the MC table of bbqqlv, t1 = blv (top lepton) and t2 = bqq (top jet) are reconstructed • Tag : top or ZWW • Top eventistagged if oror • Check on Mbb Z peak in ZWW events, < 2%

  30. Comparative distributions : ZWW/tt • At MC level, top and ZWW events are separated • Lepton distributions : • Angular • Energetic • ZWW clearlynegligible • Needs to besubstracted to reachpermilprecision

  31. Semileptonic taus : tt  bbqqτv • A lepton isfound in 1/3 of semileptonic tau events • Addsstatistics for measurements but cannot use lepton

  32. Full hadronic tops • Ycutexpected to beenough to separatesemileptonic tops fromhadronicones… Maybe not enough. Try y56.
