Measurements of the top quark branching ratios into channels with leptons and quarks with the ATLAS detector
2015
Measurements of the branching ratios of top quark decays into leptons and jets using events with t[bar over t] (top antitop) pairs are reported. Events were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The collected data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb[superscript −1]. The measured top quark branching ratios agree with the Standard Model predictions within the measurement uncertainties of a few percent.
Measurement of the top quark pair production cross-section with ATLAS in the single lepton channel
2012
A measurement of the production cross-section for top quark pairs (t[bar over t]) in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV is presented using data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are selected in the single lepton topology by requiring an electron or muon, large missing transverse momentum and at least three jets. With a data sample of 35 pb[superscript −1], two different multivariate methods, one of which uses b-quark jet identification while the other does not, use kinematic variables to obtain cross-section measurements of σ[subscript t bar over t] = 187 ± 11 (stat.) [+18 over −17] (syst.) ± 6 (lumi.) pb and σ[subscript t bar over t] = 173 ± 17 (stat.) [+18 ove…
Measurement of top quark and W boson polarisation observables with t-channel single-top-quark events in the ATLAS experiment
2017
El trabajo de la tesis se enmarca dentro del programa de física de la Colaboración ATLAS para el análisis de los datos producidos por el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones (LHC) situado en el CERN. La primera parte del trabajo desarrollado se centra en los estudios realizados para mejorar los algoritmos y el procedimiento seguido para el alineamiento del detector de trazas de ATLAS. El conocimiento de la posición exacta que ocupan los elementos que componen el detector de trazas determina la resolución con la que la trayectoria de una partícula puede ser reconstruida. La posición de dichos elementos se ve afectada por cambios en las condiciones de trabajo, como el apagado y encendido del sistema…

Measurement of the top quark charge in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
2013
A measurement of the top quark electric charge is carried out in the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider using 2.05 fb[superscript −1] of data at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. In units of the elementary electric charge, the top quark charge is determined to be 0.64 ± 0.02 (stat.) ± 0.08 (syst.) from the charges of the top quark decay products in single lepton t[¯ over t] candidate events. This excludes models that propose a heavy quark of electric charge −4/3, instead of the Standard Model top quark, with a significance of more than 8σ.
