    1. Top Quarks in Year 1 Akira Shibata New York University ATLAS Workshop of the Americas @ NYU 5 Aug, 2009
    2. Can Top change our perspective? • Why is top so heavy (10 water molecules)? Any special role in EW symmetry breaking? • Does it play even more fundamental role than Higgs mechanism + Yukawa coupling? • If there is new physics signal lighter than top, does the top quark decay into them? • Could non-SM physics first manifest itself in non- standard couplings of the top quark? • Top quark can be measured at significant precision at the LHC to answer these questions. • Top quark has been an extremely productive ground for speculation and searches at Tevatron. Workshop of the Americas ’09 2 akira.shibata@nyu.edu
    3. New Physics via Top Decay • The final state of a t¯system is primarily clas- t sified by the decay modes of the two W bosons: • Various decay modes make top physics interesting and useful • The top interfere with a number of new physics signatures. • Typical search modes: • Lepton + jets (e/mu) • Dileptonic • All hadronic • Tau channels • E.g. If mW<mH+<mt and tanβ>>1, top can decay into charged higgs, enhancing the τ lepton rate. Workshop of the Americas ’09 3 akira.shibata@nyu.edu

    28. Summary & Outlook • Simple and robust analysis has been established for the re-discovery of the top quark with the LHC collisions in year one. • Learning much about the strength and the weakness of the analyses fully including the systematic uncertainties. • Studying methods to extract more information from the limited data. Profile likelihood method allow us to measure cross section in different channels and combine them. • Established good communication and methods to collaborate with many groups. Had a useful experience with publication process. • Once tT observation is established, implication is tremendous • Indicates good understanding of the combined performance of the detector • Powerful tool to understand JES, b-tagging, trigger efficiency and processes with more complicated event topology, new physics!
