## Top Quark

- Not a surprizing discovery: b-quark requires isospin partner, however ...

- Discovered in 1995 at Tevatron
- Youngest member of the quark family
- “Last brick” to the Standard Model

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

## Why is the top quark so special ...

**TOP**

- Unexpectedly huge mass
- Comparable to gold nucleus

** ****~****175 GeV**

- Decays before hadronizing
- Passes momentum and spin info to its decay products

- Special role in the dynamics of EWSB ?
- Serves as a probe of BSM physics

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

**Notes:**
Mass of order electroweak scale
May play a special role in the dynamics of EWSB
Serves as a powerful probe of physics beyond the SM

## Top Quark

**Properties**

- I will cover only the latest measurements:
- Top Charge
- Top lifetime
- New heavy top in the top sample?

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

## Top Charge

**   **Is it the Standard Model top ?
-    W.-F. Chang et al.,Phys. Rev. D 59, 091503 (1999), (hep-ph/9810531) proposes an exotic doublet of quarks (Q1, Q4)R with charges (-1/3,-4/3) and M ~ 175 GeV
-   Right-handed b quark mixes with the isospin +1/2 component
-   while Mtop ~ 274 GeV  escaped detection
-    q = -4/3 is consistent with EW data, new b-couplings  improve the EW fit (E. Ma et al. , hep-ph/9909537)

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

## Top Quark Charge Measurement

- Lepton+jets, double b-tag events
- Determine:
-    charge of W (lepton)
-    pairing between W and b (2 fit)
-    flavor of b-jet

-  ***Jet Charge:   ***
***    ******Q******jet****** = ************q******i****** p******Ti******0.6******/ ************ p******Ti******0.6***
***(sum over tracks within a jet)****** ***

**370 pb****-1**
**17 events**
**34 tops**

-  ***Q******top,1****** = | q******l****** + q******,b(l)****** | Q******top,2****** = | - q******l****** + q******,b(j)****** | ***

- Excluded Q=4/3 with 94%CL

- Perform likelihood ratio test:

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

## Top Lifetime

- Within the SM top ~10-24 s
- Long-lived top?
- Use **d****0**-lepton impact parameter with respect to beamline
- Determine detector resolution from
-     Z0/γ -> e+e-/μ+μ-

- c < 52.5 m with 95% CL

- Fit combination of signal/BG
- templates to the data: lepton+jets with >=1 b-tag

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

## New Heavy Particles Decaying to Wq?

- Can be a fourth generation up-type quark
-      He/Polonsky/Su (hep-ph/0102144)
-      a generic 4th chiral generation is consistent with EWK data; accommodates a heavy Higgs (500 GeV) without any other new physics
- “Beautiful Mirrors” model
-      Wagner et al  (hep-ph/ 0109097)
-     predicts  a new heavy up-type quark decaying to Wb; naturally accomodates the LEP b forward-backward asymmetry results
- From the precision EWK data the mass splitting between a t' and a b' quark is relatively small. Therefore if  Mt’ < Mb’ + MW:     t' -> W b(q)  (promptly)
- CDF Search in Lepton + jets channel: 2D-fit with
- HT = sum of transverse momenta of all objects in the event
- Mreco from 2-fit

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

## Search for t’->Wq 

- Set a limit on 4th generation up-type quark pair production
- Data did not cooperate well

- Excluded t'
- 196 <mt' < 207 GeV

- A. Ivanov,   UC Davis

- Feb-13-2006

## Conclusions

** **Many other analyses utilizing datasets of integrated luminosity ~700 pb-1 are being finalized
-  Results will be presented at the forthcoming Winter conferences
-  No evidence for the top quark being non-Standard Model so far
-  More precise measurements of the top mass and other quantities coming soon
