Measurement of the Mass Difference between Top and Anti-top Quarks

We present a measurement of the mass difference between top (t) and antitop (t¯) quarks using tt¯ candidate events reconstructed in the final state with one lepton and multiple jets. We use the full data set of Tevatron s=1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions recorded by the CDF II detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb-1. We estimate event by event the mass difference to construct templates for top pair signal events and background events. The resulting mass difference distribution in data compared to signal and background templates using a likelihood fit yields ΔMtop=Mt-Mt¯=-1.95±1.11(stat)±0.59(syst) GeV/c2 and is in agreement with the standard model prediction of no mass difference.

We use a right-handed spherical coordinate system with the origin at the center of the detector. and are the polar and azimuthal angles, respectively. The pseudorapidity is defined by = - ln tan(/2). The transverse momentum and energy are defined by pT = p sin() and ET = E sin(), respectively, where p and E are the momentum and energy of the particle

[14]

The missing transverse energy, an imbalance of energy in the transverse plane of the detector, is defined by ET = -| towers ET nT |, where nT is the unit vector normal to the beam and pointing to a given calorimeter tower and ET is the transverse energy measured in that tower
