Search for ttbar resonances in the lepton+jets channel in ATLAS using 14fb^{-1} of pp collisions at 8 TeV

The search for ttbar resonances that could be produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider allow the investigation of a wide range of physics beyond the Standard Model. In such a scheme, the top quark is often produced with a transverse momentum that is large as compared to its mass. The decay of such...

description The search for ttbar resonances that could be produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider allow the investigation of a wide range of physics beyond the Standard Model. In such a scheme, the top quark is often produced with a transverse momentum that is large as compared to its mass. The decay of such highly boosted top leads to a topology that differs in several respects from that encountered when the top quarks are produced approximately at rest. In particular, for high mass ttbar with a lepton + jets final state, the distance between the three jets originating from the hadronic top decay ( t -> Wb -> q qbar b) becomes small, leading to an important jet merging. We present the analysis applied to the 2012 proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV in the center of mass recorded by the ATLAS experiment, aiming to search for ttbar resonance where the complete 3-body decay of the hadronic top is reconstructed as a single fat jet and identified by investigating its substructure.
