Abstract

We compare the inclusive production of events containing a lepton (ℓ), a photon (γ), significant transverse momentum imbalance (E̸T), and a jet identified as containing a b-quark, to SM predictions. The search uses data produced in proton-antiproton collisions at s√=1.96  TeV corresponding to 1.9  fb−1 of integrated luminosity taken with the CDF detector. We find 28 ℓγbE̸T events versus an expectation of 31.0+4.1−3.5 events. If we further require events to contain at least three jets and large total transverse energy, the largest SM source is radiative top-quark pair production, tt+γ. In the data we observe 16 ttγ candidate events versus an expectation from SM sources of 11.2+2.3−2.1. Assuming the difference between the observed number and the predicted non-top-quark total of 6.8+2.2−2.0 is due to SM top-quark production, we estimate the ttγ cross section to be 0.15±0.08  pb.

The unknown nature of possible new phenomena in the energy range accessible at the Tevatron collider is the motivation for a search strategy [1–3] that does not focus on current hypothetical models of new physics, but instead tests the standard model (SM) [4]. The emphasis on pre- senting measurements and SM predictions, rather than comparisons with arbitrarily chosen other models, allows a wide net for physics beyond the SM that can be used now by proponents of current models of ‘‘new physics’’ as well as in the future by theorists with new ideas and facts. Here we report the results of a search for events containing a lepton (‘), a photon (), significant transverse momentum imbalance (6ET) [5], and a jet identified as containing a b-quark; i.e. the final-state ‘b6ETþX. This channel, which contains a vector boson and a third-generation quark, is suppressed in the SM, and is consequently sensi- tive to rare new phenomena. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of1:9 fb1ofpp collisions at ffiffiffi

ps 1:96 TeV, collected using the CDF II detector [7]. This¼ search is an extension of a previous search in the leptonþ photonþXsignature, described in detail in Ref. [8].

A search for SM production of top-quark pairs with an additional photon, tt , is a natural extension of the

‘b6ETþX analysis. By further requiring events to con- tain at least three jets and large total transverse energy (HT) [5], we find that the SM predicts the largest source of events will be top-quark pair production with an additional radiated photon,ttþ. The process is of interest for the direct measurement of the electric charge of the top quark

[9], as well as being another low-cross section search signature in which rare non-SM processes could appear.

The CDF II detector [7] is a cylindrically-symmetric magnetic spectrometer designed to study pp collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. Here we briefly describe the detec- tor subsystems relevant for the present analysis.

Tracking systems are used to measure the momenta of charged particles and to identify leptons with large trans- verse momenta [5]. A multilayer system of silicon strip detectors [10], which identifies tracks in both the r and rzviews [6], and the central outer tracker (COT) [11], are contained in a superconducting solenoid that generates a magnetic field of 1.4 T. The COT is a 3.1 m long open-cell drift chamber that makes up to 96 measure- ments along the track of each charged particle in the region jj<1. Sense wires are arranged in 8 alternating axial and 2stereo superlayers with 12 wire layers each. For high- momentum tracks, the COT transverse momentum (pT) resolution ispT=p2T ’0:0017 GeV1 [11].

Segmented calorimeters with towers arranged in a pro- jective geometry, each tower consisting of an electromag- netic and an hadronic compartment [12,13], cover the region jj<3:6. In this analysis we select photons and electrons in the central region, jj<1, where a system (CES) with finer spatial resolution is used to make profile measurements of electromagnetic showers at shower maxi- mum [7]. Electrons are reconstructed in the central elec- tromagnetic calorimeter (CEM) with an ET resolution of ðETÞ=ET ’13:5%= ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi

fied in the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters using a cone in-space of radius 0.4 [14,15]. The jet energy resolution is approximately ’0:1ET ðGeVÞ þ 1:0 GeV[16].

Muons are identified using the central muon (CMU), the central muon upgrade (CMP), and the central muon exten- sion (CMX) systems [17,18], which cover the kinematic regionjj<1. The CMU uses four layers of planar drift chambers to detect muons with pT>1:4 GeV in the re- gion of jj<0:6. The CMP consists of four additional layers of planar drift chambers located behind 0.6 m of steel outside the magnetic return yoke, and detects muons withpT>2:0 GeV. The CMX detects muons in the region 0:6<jj<1:0with four to eight layers of drift chambers, depending on the polar angle.

We use identification algorithms that exploit the long lifetime (c0450m) of b hadrons to identify jets containing b hadrons. Candidate b-jets are identified through the presence of a secondary decay vertex displaced from the beam line in the regionjj<2[19].

The beam luminosity is measured using two arrays of gas Cherenkov counters, located in the region3:7<jj<

4:7. The total uncertainty on the luminosity has been estimated to be 6%, where 4.4% comes from the accep- tance and operation of the luminosity monitor and 4.0%

from the calculation of the accepted inelastic pp cross section [20].

We use events selected by the online event selection (trigger) system [7] to have a high pT electron or muon in the central region, jj&1:0. The electron trigger re- quires a cluster of energy in the central electromagnetic calorimeter with a COT track pointing at the cluster. The muon trigger requires a COT track that extrapolates to a track segment in the muon chambers.

Inclusive ‘events are selected by requiring a central high-energycandidate and a central high-energyeor candidate originating less than 60 cm along the beam line from the detector center and passing the selection criteria listed below. To reduce background from the decays of hadrons produced in jets, both the photon and the lepton in each event are required to be isolated [21].

An electron candidate must meet the following selection criteria: (a) a high-quality track [22] with pT>0:5ET, unless ET >100 GeV, in which case thepT threshold is set to 20 GeV; (b) a good transverse shower profile that matches the extrapolated track position; (c) a lateral shar- ing of energy in the calorimeter towers containing the electron shower consistent with that expected; and (d) minimal leakage into the hadron calorimeter [23].

A muon candidate must have: (a) a well-measured track in the COT; (b) energy deposited in the calorimeter con- sistent with expectations; (c) a muon track segment in both the CMU and CMP, or in the CMX, consistent with the extrapolated COT track; and (d) COT timing consistent with a track from app collision.

Photon candidates are required to have no track with pT>1 GeV, and at most one track with pT<1 GeV, pointing at the calorimeter cluster, good profiles in both transverse dimensions at shower maximum, and minimal leakage into the hadron calorimeter [23].

Missing transverse energy (6ET) is calculated from the calorimeter tower energies in the region jj<3:6. Corrections are then made to the 6ET for the position of the reconstructed primary vertex, and for nonuniform calo- rimeter response [24] for jets with uncorrected ET >

15 GeVandjj<2:0, and for muons withPT >20 GeV. The inclusive‘b6ET search is defined by requiring that an event contain a central electron (or muon) with EeTðPTÞ>20 GeV [5], a central photon with ET >

10 GeV, a b-tagged jet with EjetT >15 GeV, and 6ET >

20 GeV[25]. Figures1and2show kinematic distributions for events in the‘b6ET sample.

The dominant SM sources of ‘b6ET events at the Tevatron are tt production and Wþheavy flavor (HF) (Wc, Wcc , Wbb ) in which a W boson decays leptonically (‘) and a photon is radiated from an initial- state quark, theW, or a charged final-state lepton [26]. We use theMADGRAPHmatrix-element event generator [27] to estimate these contributions. Initial-state radiation and parton showering are simulated by the PYTHIA shower code [28] tuned to reproduce the underlying event [29].

The generated particles are then passed through a full simulation of the detector, and these events are then recon- structed with the same reconstruction code used for the data. The expected contributions fromtt andWþHF production to the ‘b6ET and tt searches are given in TablesIandII. A correction for higher-order processes (K- factor) of1:100:15for thett [25] has been applied to the LO MC estimates. We have also applied a K-factor of 2:101:05 for the WþHF [30]. Backgrounds from WW,ZZ, and the production of a single top quark plus a photon are estimated to be negligible.

The background from top decays in which tau leptons are misidentified as photons is estimated from attPYTHIA [28] sample using simulation information to identify tau

leptons and then applying the same analysis selection criteria as for data.

High-pT photons are copiously created from hadron decays in jets initiated by a scattered quark or gluon. In particular, mesons such as the 0 ordecay to multiple photons which may pass the photon selection criteria. To estimate the number of events with a jet misidentified as a photon, we first measure the probability for a jet to be misidentified as a photon, PjetðETÞ, as a function of the measured EjetT , in data samples triggered on jets. We then measure the jet ET in ‘6ETbþjet and ‘E6 Tþ>3jets (HT>200 GeV) samples, respectively, and multiply by PjetðETÞ. An uncertainty of 50% on the number of such events is calculated by using the measured jet spectrum and the upper and lower bounds on theET-dependent misiden- tification rate [26].

To estimate the probability to mistakenlyb-tag a light jet (a mistag), each jet in the‘6ETþpretagged jet sample is weighted by its mistag rate that is obtained from tagged events in which theb-hadron decay vertex is measured to be on the opposite side of the primary vertex from the direction of the jet, an unphysical geometry. The mistag rate derived from these ‘‘negative’’ tags provides an esti-

mate of the number of false positive tags after a correction for interactions in material in the inner tracking volume and long-lived light-flavor particles. The mistag rate per jet is measured using a large inclusive-jet data sample.

We have estimated the background due to events with jets misidentified as high-pT leptons by studying the total pT of tracks in a cone in -’ space of radius R¼0:4 around the lepton track (track isolation) [8]. We compared the distribution of track isolation in the signal sample to that of theZ0 !eþeandZ0!þdata samples, and to that of the QCD background data sample, which is dominated by light-flavor and gluon jets.

The number of events with an electron misidentified as a photon expected in the ‘b6ET sample is determined by measuring the electronETspectrum in‘e6ETbsamples, and then multiplying by Pe!, the probability of an electron being misidentified as a photon. We determinePe! from Z0 !eþeevents in which one of the electrons radiates a high-ET photon, resulting in an electron-photon system with an invariant mass consistent with that of theZ-boson.

The uncertainties on the numbers of expected events for the‘b6ET search listed in TablesIandIIinclude system- atic and statistical uncertainties. A total uncertainty of 6%

is quoted for the luminosity measurements [20]. The sys- tematics relevant to the ‘b6ET and tt analyses also include a 5% uncertainty on the b-tagging efficiency, and uncertainties on the K-factors of 15% for the tt MC samples and 50% for the WþHF samples.

experimental systematic uncertainty comes from the rate of misidentifying jets as photons, which we estimate to be uncertain to approximately 50%.

We find 28 ‘b6ET events versus an expectation of 31:0þ4:13:5 events. The data agree well with the SM predic- tions, with the precision of the comparison being limited by statistics for the present integrated luminosity.

A second search, forttevents, is constructed by further requiringHT>200 GeV[31] andNjets>2, whereNjetsis the number of jets in the event [15]. We observe 16tt candidate events. Figures3and4show the corresponding kinematic distributions for events in thett subsample. An event display of attcandidate event is shown in Fig.5.

For the ttsearch, the detection efficiency and accep- tance are calculated using MADGRAPH to generate tt events with one leptonicWdecay. As in the‘b6ETsearch, the generated particles are then passed through a full detector simulation of the detector and are then recon-

structed with the same reconstruction code used for the data. We find a SM expectation of11:2þ2:32:1events.

The probability that the backgrounds alone (i.e. assum- ing that there is no SM production of the ttfinal state) will produce 16 or more events, is 1% (2.3 standard devia- tions). Assuming that the difference between the nontop background estimate and the number of observed events is due tott SM production, we estimate thett cross section to be 0:150:08 pb (see Fig. 6). An estimate of the expected semileptonic cross section ðSMÞ ¼0:080 0:011 pbis obtained from the LOMADGRAPHcross section of 0.073 pb, multiplied by a K-factor (NLO=LO) of 1:100:15[25]. The uncertainty on the cross section is dominated by the statistical uncertainties associated with the small number of events observed.

In conclusion, we have performed a search for events containing a lepton, photon,b-quark production, and miss- ing ET, a channel which contains a vector boson and a third-generation quark and is suppressed in the SM. We find no evidence for non-SM production. As an extension

of this search we have also performed a search for the SM processpp !tt, which is predicted to be the dominant process that produces this signature with at least 3 jets and large total transverse energy HT. Here too we find good agreement with the SM expectations. Although not statis- tically significant, the number of observed tt events is larger than the SM prediction not includingtt production.

Assuming the difference between the observed number and the predicted non-top-quark SM total is due to top-quark production, we estimate thett cross section to be0:15 0:08 pb.

The probabilities for a particle to have a shower shape consistent with being an electron or a hadron are calculated using the distributions of shower energy and shower cluster

The reconstructed cos distribution for the lepton plus jets sample, overlaid with signal and background templates according to their best-fit values. The left-handed template has

The number of events from t t, which is similarly allowed to fluctuate, is taken to be the excess of the observed data in the positively tagged lepton jets sample over the

In order to obtain the most precise cross section mea- surement, the neural-network-based kinematical selection is optimized, in the sample 6 N jets 8, for the maxi- mum

We present a measurement of the top-quark mass in pp collisions at s√=1.96  TeV which uses events with an inclusive signature of missing transverse energy and jets.. The event

The measured distribution (points) in the fitted top-quark mass in events with a Z and four jets with at least one b -tagged jet, compared to the SM expectations and an FCNC
