On  the  W+4  jets  background  to  the  top-­‐quark  asymmetry  at  the  Tevatron    

Yoshitaro  Takaesu    KEK,  Japan  

Page 2: Talk @ QCD12 2012.07.03

IntroducCon  •  Large  top  forward-­‐backward  asymmetry  (                )  has  been  observed  at  the  Tevatron.  

•  Contribu>ons  of  new  physics,    NNLL  QCD,  EW  correc>ons,  NLO  of            ,  etc.  have  been  discussed,  but  we  do  not  know  the  sa>sfactory  answer  yet.  

• We  focus  on  W+4  jets  background  for  this  anomalous                    in  semi-­‐leptonic  channel.

• W+4jets  can  have  large  AFB  at  the  matrix  element  level.  

•  However,  AFB  in  W+jets  is  not  observed  in  background-­‐enriched  0  b-­‐tag  sample.      

                                                                         Why?    

7/2/12   QCD12:  Yoshitaro  Takaesu   11  

Neutrino rapidity may give a hint for this contradiction.

Neutrino  Rapidity  

Neutrino rapidity has two possibility and this is fixed from the top mass constraint.

Taking right (generated) or wrong rapidity affects on the AFB significantly.

top mass distributions in W+4jets are almost the same between right or wrong neutrino rapidity

If b-tag introduces a bias to take right neutrino rapidity in Data, W+4jets background could have large AFB in b-tagged events, while 0-tagged events would show smaller AFB.

Summary  •  We  inves>gated  W+4  jets  background  on                  ,                          and                          distribu>ons.  

•  Large                      is  seen  in  W+4  jets  background.  

•  Anomaly  in                          by  D0  may  suggests  BG  contamina>ons  in  signal  than  expected.  

•  Although  this  is  a  naïve  matrix-­‐element-­‐level  study  and  far  from  real  experiments,  it  would  be  helpful  to  re-­‐evaluate  W+4  jets  BG  at  Tevatron.
