Measurement of Cross Section of Quark Pair Production Top With the d0 Experiment at the Tevatron and Determination the Top Quark Mass Using This Measure
Description:
The top quark has been discovered by CDF and D0 experiments in 1995 at the proton-antiproton collider Tevatron. The amount of data recorded by both experiments makes it possible to accurately study the properties of this quark: its mass is now known to better than 1% accuracy. This thesis describes the measurement of the top pair cross section in the electron muon channel with 4, 3 fb<sup> -1</sup> recorded data between 2006 and 2009 by the D0 experiment. Since the final state included a muon, …
