1 First studies towards topquark pair differential cross section measurement in the dilepton channel at s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector Mykola Savitskyi, Maria Aldaya, Carmen Diez Pardos et al. DESYCMS Top Group, Hamburg 1

2 The top quark is special Heaviest elementary particle known to date: mt 173 GeV Mass close to scale of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB): yt important role in EWSB? Decays before hadronizing: s << QCD unique window on bare quark Sensitive to physics phenomena beyond the Standard Model (BSM): new physics may preferentially couple/decay to top Major source of background for many Higgs and BSM searches 2

3 Why measure differentially? Precise understanding of top quark distributions is crucial: Precision tests of perturbative QCD for top quark production at different phase space regions Tune and test theory predictions and models: potential to reduce signal modelling systematics Enhance sensitivity to BSM physics LHC is a top factory Several millions of top quark pair (tt) events produced already in Run I ( s = 7, 8 TeV) Run II: expect much larger data sets at s = 13(14) TeV important to measure top quark distributions with very high precision 3

4 Top Pair Production and Decay Production cross sections: Weak interaction: Top decay Energy, TeV 8 13 σinclnnlo+nnll(tt), pb t W+b ~ 100 % Strong interaction: Top pairs gg fusion qq annihilation LHC Energy, TeV 8 13 gg tt ~82% ~90% qq tt ~18% ~10% Samples are classified according to Wdecay: dilepton (ℓℓ), lepton+jets (ℓ+jets), all jets 4

5 Selection in Dilepton Channel 1. Trigger conditions 2. Lepton pair selection: opposite charge e and μ isolation criteria pt > 20 GeV, η < 2.4 invariant mass: mll > 20 GeV 3. Exclusion of Z region: in ee and μμ: 76 GeV < mll < 106 GeV 4. Presence of two jets (antikt R=0.4 ) with pt > 30 GeV and η < Missing ET > 40 GeV in ee and μμ 6. At least one b tagged jet 7. Meaningful solution for kinematic event reconstruction Largest backgrounds: other tt, Single top, DrellYan events 5

6 Kinematic Reconstruction Measured input: 2 jets, 2 leptons, MET Unknowns: pν, pν 6 Constraints: > mt, mt 2 > mw(+), mw() 2 > (pν+ pν)t = MET 2 Reconstructing each event 100 times and smearing inputs by their resolution: > top mass fixed to GeV > W mass at RECO level smeared accordingly to W mass distribution > Jet and lepton energies are corrected for detector effects Consider weighted average of solutions for all smeared points: top ptop = w ( p x, y, z i x, y, z )i w i=0 6
