  • Measurement of the t-channel single Top-quark production rates in pp collisions at 7 TeV

    Measurement of the t-channel single Top-quark production rates in pp collisions at 7 TeV

    The Top quark is the heaviest of the six quarks of the Standard Model and was discovered only 16 years ago by the Tevatron experiments at Fermilab.

  • Measurement of the tt-bar Production Cross Section in pp Collisions at 7 TeV in Lepton + Jets Events Using b-quark Jet Identification

    Measurement of the tt-bar Production Cross Section in pp Collisions at 7 TeV in Lepton + Jets Events Using b-quark Jet Identification

    Read the paper: TOP-11-003 The measured production rates of Top-antiTop pairs, where one lepton and four jets of particles is observed in the final state, show good agreement with Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong interaction.

  • Measurement of t-tbar cross section and top quark mass

    Measurement of t-tbar cross section and top quark mass

    The t t-bar production cross section and top quark mass are measured in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns collected by the CMS experiment.
