Abstract

High Energy Physics
We present a measurement of the tt[over ] differential cross section with respect to the tt[over ] invariant mass, 𝑑⁢𝜎/𝑑⁢𝑀tt̄ in pp̄collisions at √s=1.96 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 2.7 fb;{-1} collected by the CDF II experiment. The tt[over ] invariant mass spectrum is sensitive to a variety of exotic particles decaying into tt̄ pairs. The result is consistent with the standard model expectation, as modeled by PYTHIA with CTEQ5L parton distribution functions.
