Study of semi-boosted top quark reconstruction performance on the line shape of a tt resonance
Abstract
We study the top quark pair events production in pp collisions in the +jets channel at the LHC energy of s = 14 TeV for Standard Model as well as new physics processes. We explore the usage of semi-boosted topologies where the top quark decays into a boosted hadronic W-jet and an isolated b-jet and study their performance in the tt events kinematic reconstruction. An efficiency increase is observed and the correlation of selected kinematic variables between the detector and particle level is studied. Quality of the reconstructed mass line shape of a Z' model with applications in current LHC experiments is evaluated. The results of the unfolding procedure for chosen spectra and an explicit proof of a slight degradation in the signal significance after the unfolding procedure are presented using the Fully Bayesian unfolding technique.
