Cross Section for Topcolor Z' decaying to top-antitop
Robert M. Harris, Christopher T. Hill, and Stephen J. Parke
TL;DR
This paper calculates the production cross section of a Topcolor Z' boson decaying into top-antitop pairs in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.8 TeV, analyzing how it varies with different model parameters.
Contribution
It provides the first detailed calculation of the Z' production cross section in Topcolor models, including effects of model assumptions, resonance width, parton distributions, and renormalization scale.
Findings
Cross section varies significantly with model parameters.
Resonance width and parton distribution choices impact the predicted cross section.
Results inform experimental searches for Topcolor Z' bosons.
Abstract
We present a calculation of the cross section for the process p pbar -> Zt' -> t tbar, the production of a Topcolor Z' with subsequent decay to top quark pairs in proton anti-proton collisions at 1.8 TeV. Variations of the cross section with varying assumptions about the model, the resonance width, the parton distributions and the renormalization scale are presented.
