Modelling of top-quark pair events in ATLAS data

Not scheduled
5m

Speaker

Description

The modelling of final state particles is one of the major sources
of systematic uncertainties in measurements of top-quark cross-
sections and properties in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.
Furthermore, top-quark pair production is one of the main
backgrounds for Higgs measurements and searches for new physics.
Therefore these analyses would also strongly benefit from an
improved $t\bar{t}$ modelling. Comparisons between unfolded ATLAS
data and different generator predictions will be shown. These
comparisons include the generator setups used for the latest
published ATLAS results, as well as additional studies with newer
generator setups.
