Description for Top-Quark Pair Production Cross Sections and Calibration of the Top-Quark Monte-Carlo Mass
Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 180 pages, 21 black & white illustrations, 31 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ; PHS. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 13. Weight in Grams: 444.
This thesis presents the first experimental calibration of the top-quark Monte-Carlo mass. It also provides the top-quark mass-independent and most precise top-quark pair production cross-section measurement to date. The most precise measurements of the top-quark mass obtain the top-quark mass parameter (Monte-Carlo mass) used in simulations, which are partially based on heuristic models. Its interpretation in terms of mass parameters used in theoretical calculations, e.g. a running or a pole mass, has been a long-standing open problem with far-reaching implications beyond particle physics, even affecting conclusions on the stability of the vacuum state of our universe.
