The study of top quark asymmetries at the LHC provides an excellent opportunity to probe subtle differences in the production of top quarks and antiquarks made by the standard model of particle physics. In this contribution, the latest experimental results on this topic by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations are summarized.
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle known to date and therefore an important topic to study in the context of the standard model at the LHC. In this contribution the latest measurements of top quark production cross sections and the top quark mass at the LHC by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations are presented.
Single top quark production in association with vector bosons provides a unique way to probe the electroweak sector of the standard model at the Large Hadron Collider. In this talk the latest experimental results of the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations for these processes are presented.
Single top quarks in the $t$ channel are produced though the electroweak force and are therefore an excellent way to probe the electroweak sector of the standard model with top quark physics. The recent cross section measurement of single top $t$-channel production from the CMS collaboration is presented in this poster. The analyzed data was taken during the LHC Run II in 2015 at a center-of-mass energy of $13\,\textrm{TeV}$. A multivariate classifier is used to distinguish signal and background processes and the cross section is then extracted using a binned maximum-likelihood fit.
The production of single top quarks allows to study the interplay of top quark physics and the electroweak sector of the standard model. Deviations from predictions can be a hint for physics beyond the standard model. The t-channel is the dominant production mode for single top quarks at the LHC. This talk presents the latest measurements from the ATLAS and CMS collaborations.
The electroweak production of single-top quarks in the $t$ channel can be changed by any deviation from the standard model, it is therefore an excellent opportunity to search for new physics. In this poster the recent cross-section measurement performed by the CMS collaboration is presented with the full 2015 dataset of the LHC Run II at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The cross section and the top/antitop ratio is extracted using a binned maximum likelihood fit to the distribution of a multivariate classifier in events containing one isolated muon in the final state.
