Search for pair production of vector-like top quarks in events with one lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

doi:10.1007/JHEP08(2017)052

Abstract:

The results of a search for vector-like top quarks using events with exactly one lepton, at least four jets, and large missing transverse momentum are reported The search is optimised for pair pro

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of neutrino masses and their properties in tree-level radiative models is presented, where neutrinos are massless at tree level, with their mass (typically Majorana) being generated radiatively at one or more loops.

TL;DR: This work presents a software framework for statistical data analysis, called HistFitter, that has been used extensively by the ATLAS Collaboration to analyze big datasets originating from proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

TL;DR: Combined 95% confidence-level upper limits are set on the production cross section for a range of vectorlike quark scenarios, significantly improving upon the reach of the individual searches.

TL;DR: In this article, a search for pair production of up-type vector-like quarks with a significant branching ratio into a top quark and either a Standard Model Higgs boson or a Z boson is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a right-handed neutrino was introduced as the missing energy particle in a model which explains both anomalies through a single interaction, mediated by a heavy charged vector boson.

TL;DR: MadGraph5 aMC@NLO as discussed by the authors is a computer program capable of handling all these computations, including parton-level fixed order, shower-matched, merged, in a unified framework whose defining features are flexibility, high level of parallelisation and human intervention limited to input physics quantities.

TL;DR: The Pythia program as mentioned in this paper can be used to generate high-energy-physics ''events'' (i.e. sets of outgoing particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles).

TL;DR: The anti-k-t algorithm as mentioned in this paper behaves like an idealised cone algorithm, in that jets with only soft fragmentation are conical, active and passive areas are equal, the area anomalous dimensions are zero, the non-global logarithms are those of a rigid boundary and the Milan factor is universal.
