We present the results of a search for pair production of a heavy toplike (t') quark decaying to Wq final states using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.6 fb(-1) collected by the CDF II detector in pp collisions at √s=1.96 TeV. We perform parallel searches for t'→Wb and t'→Wq (where q is a generic down-type quark) in events containing a lepton and four or more jets. By performing a fit to the two-dimensional distribution of total transverse energy versus reconstructed t' quark mass, we set upper limits on the t't' production cross section and exclude a standard model fourth-generation t' quark decaying to Wb (Wq) with mass below 358 (340) GeV/c(2) at 95% C.L.
我们报告了使用 CDF II 探测器在质心能量为 1.96 TeV 的 pp 对撞中采集的 5.6 fb-1 积分亮度数据,对一个重类顶夸克(t')衰变为 Wq 末态的对产生的搜索结果。我们在包含一个轻子和四个或更多喷注的事例中,对 t'→Wb 和 t'→Wq(其中 q 是一个通用的下夸克)进行了平行搜索。通过对总横向能量与重建的 t'夸克质量的二维分布进行拟合,我们对 t't'产生截面设定了上限,并在 95%置信水平下排除了质量低于 358(340)GeV/c2 的标准模型第四代 t'夸克衰变为 Wb(Wq)的情况。
