Single Top Search at D0

D0 Single Top group is looking for top quark produced via electrowek force. This production mode is one of the predictions of Standard Model that we have not been able to check so far. The main analysis plots and numbers can be found at the web page summary. Analysis details for s-channel are given here.

Central Fiber Tracker

The Central Fiber Tracker is part of the RunII upgratde and plays a very important role in our tracking, btagging and trigger.

Central Track Trigger

The D0 central track trigger (CTT) is based on information from the central fiber tracker (CFT), central preshower (CPS) and forward preshower (FPS) detectors. The CTT participates in both level 1 and level 2 trigger decisions.

Ph.D. Thesis

The electroweak production of the top quark is one of the predictions of the Standard Model that has not yet been experimentally verified. The two main modes of production of single top at the Tevatron accelerator are s-channel and t-channel production. This thesis deals with s-channel production of single top in the electron plus jets channel. This analysis takes advantage of sophisticated analysis techniques such as Neural Networks and Decision Trees. Since we were not able to observe single top, an upper limit is set on the production cross section.
