Pheno. meeting - Matrix element for differential cross section estimation, CDF vs "LHC" - Arnaud Pin

Wednesday 16 Nov 2011, 11:00 → 12:00 Europe/Brussels

E/3rd floor-E.361 - Meeting room (E.361) (Marc de Hemptinne (chemin du Cyclotron, 2, Louvain-la-Neuve))

Using the Matrix element method for Top quark pair production analysis, differential cross section can be estimated for any quantity which can be expressed as function of the momenta of the top decay product. MadWeight have been adapted to perform such calculation and some results will be presented. The CDF II experiment have also developed this technic for top pair production decaying in lepton+jets channel. Results at 4.8fb-1 were published this summer and will be presented too.
