Early Top Physics at CMS Experiment

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2008-10-20 v1

Abstract

The top quark was discovered at the Tevatron in 1995. For the last decade the study of its properties has been a major theme in the worldwide experimental high energy physics program. The advent of the LHC opens up a new era in top quark physics; because of the large ttˉt\bar{t} cross-section and the high luminosity, the LHC can be thought of as a top factory. Here we present the prospects and plans for ttbar physics at CMS at an early stage of the experiment, covering from the initial establishment of the top signal, to the first measurements that become possible for an integrated luminosity of 100 pb1pb^{-1}, considering a realistic detector performance.
