CDF has established the existence of the top quark. Results from [Formula: see text] collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV are presented. In the dilepton final state we find seven events with a background of 1.3±0.3. In the e, μ+v+jets channel with a b identified via a secondary vertex detector (SVX), we find 21 events with a background of 5.5±1.8. We measure the top quark mass to be 176±8 (stat) ±10 (syst) GeV/c2, and the [Formula: see text] production cross section to be [Formula: see text] . The integrated luminosity for the results presented in this paper is 67 pb−1. The CDF detector needs to be upgraded for our next run. The integrated luminosity for the next run is expected to be more than 1000 pb −1.

The Masses

Abstract A measurement of the top quark mass is performed using a data sample enriched with single top quark events produced in the t channel. The study is based on proton- proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1, recorded at $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016. Candidate events are selected by requiring an isolated high-momentum lepton (muon or electron) and exactly two jets, of which one is identified as originating from a bottom quark. Multivariate discriminants are designed to separate the signal from the background. Optimized thresholds are placed on the discriminant outputs to obtain an event sample with high signal purity. The top quark mass is found to be $$ {172.13}_{-0.77}^{+0.76} $$ 172.13 − 0.77 + 0.76 GeV, where the uncertainty includes both the statistical and systematic components, reaching sub-GeV precision for the first time in this event topology. The masses of the top quark and antiquark are also determined separately using the lepton charge in the final state, from which the mass ratio and difference are determined to be $$ {0.9952}_{-0.0104}^{+0.0079} $$ 0.9952 − 0.0104 + 0.0079 and $$ {0.83}_{-1.35}^{+1.79} $$ 0.83 − 1.35 + 1.79 GeV, respectively. The results are consistent with CPT invariance.

Abstract We present results for the two-loop helicity amplitudes entering the NLO QCD corrections to the production of a Higgs boson in association with a Z -boson in gluon fusion. The two-loop integrals, involving massive top quarks, are calculated numerically. Results for the interference of the finite part of the two-loop amplitudes with the Born amplitude are shown as a function of the two kinematic invariants on which the amplitudes depend.

Abstract A general prediction from asymptotically safe quantum gravity is the approximate vanishing of all quartic scalar couplings at the UV fixed point beyond the Planck scale. A vanishing Higgs doublet quartic coupling near the Planck scale translates into a prediction for the ratio between the mass of the Higgs boson MH and the top quark Mt. If only the standard model particles contribute to the running of couplings below the Planck mass, the observed MH∼ 125 GeV results in the prediction for the top quark mass Mt∼ 171 GeV, in agreement with recent measurements. In this work, we study how the asymptotic safety prediction for the top quark mass is affected by possible physics at an intermediate scale. We investigate the effect of an SU(2) triplet scalar and right-handed neutrinos, needed to explain the tiny mass of left-handed neutrinos. For pure seesaw II, with no or very heavy right handed neutrinos, the top mass can increase to Mt ∼ 172.5 GeV for a triplet mass of M∆ ∼ 108GeV. Right handed neutrino masses at an intermediate scale increase the uncertainty of the predictions of Mt due to unknown Yukawa couplings of the right-handed neutrinos and a cubic interaction in the scalar potential. For an appropriate range of Yukawa couplings there is no longer an issue of vacuum stability.
