Constraining new resonant physics with top spin polarisation information
arXiv:1703.05613 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-017-4964-9
Abstract
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the power of including top quark-polarisation information to kinematically challenging resonance searches, for which ATLAS and CMS start losing sensitivity. Following the general modeling and analysis strategies pursued by the experiments, we analyse the semi-leptonic and the di-lepton channels and show that including polarisation information can lead to large improvements in the limit setting procedures with large data sets. This will allow us to set limits for parameter choices where sensitivity from is not sufficient. This highlights the importance of spin observables as part of a more comprehensive set of observables to gain sensitivity to BSM resonance searches.
