Measurement of t(t)over-bar normalised multi-differential cross sections in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV, and simultaneous determination of the strong coupling strength, top quark pole mass, and parton distribution functions

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Normalised multi-differential cross sections for top quark pair (t (t) over bar) production are measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV using events containing two oppositely charged leptons. The analysed data were recorded with the CMS detector in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The doubledifferential t (t) over bar cross section is measured as a function of the kinematic properties of the top quark and of the t (t) over bar system at parton level in the full phase space. A triple-differential measurement is performed as a function of the invariant mass and rapidity of the t (t) over bar system and the multiplicity of additional jets at particle level. The data are compared to predictions of Monte Carlo event generators that complement next-to-leading-order (NLO) quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculations with parton showers. Together with a fixed-order NLO QCD calculation, the triple-differential measurement is used to extract values of the strong coupling strength alpha(S) and the top quark pole mass (m(t)(pole)) using several sets of parton distribution functions (PDFs). The measurement of m(t)(pole) exploits the sensitivity of the t (t) over bar invariant mass distribution to m(t)(pole) near the production threshold. Further-more, a simultaneous fit of the PDFs, aS, and m(t)(pole) is performed at NLO, demonstrating that the new data have significant impact on the gluon PDF, and at the same time allow an accurate determination of alpha(S) and m(t)(pole). The values alpha S(mZ) = 0.1135+0.0021-0.0017 and m(t)(pole) = 170.5 +/- 0.8GeV are extracted, which account for experimental and theoretical uncertainties, the latter being estimated from NLO scale variations. Possible effects from Coulomb and soft-gluon resummation near the t (t) over bar production threshold are neglected in these parameter extractions. A rough estimate of these effects indicates an expected correction of m(t)(pole) of the order of +1 GeV, which can be regarded as additional theoretical uncertainty in the current m(t)(pole) extraction.
