Event patterns extracted from top quark-related spectra in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV
Abstract
We analyze the transverse momentum () and rapidity () spectra of top quark pairs, hadronic top quarks, and top quarks produced in proton-proton () collisions at center-of-mass energy TeV. For spectra, we use the superposition of the inverse power-law suggested by the QCD (quantum chromodynamics) calculus and the Erlang distribution resulting from a multisource thermal model. For spectra, we use the two-component Gaussian function resulting from the revised Landau hydrodynamic model. The modelling results are in agreement with the experimental data measured at the detector level, in the fiducial phase-space, and in the full phase-space by the ATLAS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Based on the parameter values extracted from and spectra, the event patterns in three-dimensional velocity (--), momentum (--), and rapidity (--) spaces are obtained, and the probability distributions of these components are also obtained.
