Study of polarization of heavy particles is an important branch of research in today's collider studies. The massive $W$ boson has two types of polarization states, which usually are studied via the angular distribution of its decay…
This paper presents a measurement of the polarisation of $W$ bosons from $t\bar{t}$ decays, reconstructed in events with one high-$p_{\mbox{T}}$ lepton and at least four jets. Data from $pp$ collisions at the LHC were collected at…
A method is proposed for distinguishing highly boosted hadronically decaying W's (W-jets) from QCD-jets using jet substructure. Previous methods, such as the filtering/mass-drop method, can give a factor of ~2 improvement in S/sqrt(B) for…
We propose a new technique for measuring the polarization of hadronically decaying boosted top quarks. In particular, we apply a subjet-based technique to events where the decay products of the top are clustered within a single jet. The…
Measuring longitudinally polarised vector boson scattering in WW channel is a promising way to investigate unitarity restoration with the Higgs mechanism and to search for possible physics beyond the Standard Model. In order to perform such…
A measurement of the polarisation of $W$ bosons produced in top-quark decays is presented, using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. The data were collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large…
This paper reports a detailed study of techniques for identifying boosted, hadronically decaying $W$ bosons using 20fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} =$…
This paper presents a measurement of the cross-section for high transverse momentum $W$ and $Z$ bosons produced in $pp$ collisions and decaying to all-hadronic final states. The data used in the analysis were recorded by the ATLAS detector…
We introduce a novel jet substructure method which exploits the variation of observables with respect to a sampling of phase-space boundaries quantified by the variability. We apply this technique to identify boosted W boson and top quark…
The distribution of particles inside hadronic jets produced in the decay of boosted $W$ and $Z$ bosons can be used to discriminate such jets from the continuum background. Given that a jet has been identified as likely resulting from the…
This paper presents measurements of the polarization of W bosons in top quark decays, derived from ttbar events with missing transverse momentum, one charged lepton and at least four jets, or two charged leptons and at least two jets. Data…
A first measurement of the polarization of W bosons with large transverse momenta in pp collisions is presented. The measurement is based on 36 inverse picobarns of data recorded at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV by the CMS detector at the LHC. The…
Measuring the scattering of longitudinally-polarized vector bosons represents a fundamental test of ElectroWeak Symmetry Breaking. In addition to the challenges provided by low rates and large backgrounds, there are conceptual issues which…
A measurement is presented of the cross section for the production of a W boson with one or two jets, of which at least one must be a b-jet, in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. Production via top decay is not included in the signal…
Fully reconstructed top-antitop-events are used to determine the fractions of right-handed and longitudinally polarized W bosons produced in top-quark decays. The helicity fractions are sensitive to the couplings and the Dirac structure of…
We present a measurement of the fractions F_0 and F_+ of longitudinally polarized and right-handed W bosons in top quark decays using data collected with the CDF II detector. The data set used in the analysis corresponds to an integrated…
The three different helicity states of W bosons, produced in the reaction e+e- -> W+W- -> l nu q q~ are studied using leptonic and hadronic W decays at sqrt{s}=183GeV and 189GeV. The W polarisation is also measured as a function of the…
We present a measurement of the cross section for W-boson production in association with jets in pbar-p collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 320 pb^-1 collected with…
This paper presents a study of the production of $WW$ or $WZ$ boson pairs, with one $W$ boson decaying to $e\nu$ or $\mu\nu$ and one $W$ or $Z$ boson decaying hadronically. The analysis uses 20.2 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV $pp$ collision…
The unitarization of the longitudinal vector boson scattering (VBS) cross section by the Higgs boson is a fundamental prediction of the Standard Model which has not been experimentally verified. One of the most promising ways to measure VBS…
