Sub-Groups:
- Cross-Section and Mass: precision measurement in single and pair production
- Properties: differential distributions, Couplings, Rare Decays, FCNC
- High Energy: the case for 500 GeV
Workpackages:
- Top Mass precision measurement:
- Deliverables: estimate of precision on the top mass measurement (both at threshold and fully reconstructed) and its limiting factors
- Investigation of characteristics of signal (and background) generation at threshold (in collaboration with theory)
- Impact of differen techniques for mass reconstruction on final achievable precision (experimental and theoretical uncertainties)
- Development of simulation and reconstruction needed for the signal. Particular emphasis on b and c-tagging algorithms
- Development of analyses in the dilepton, semileptonic and all hadronic channel, at threshold and above
- Development of different technique for extracting other precision variables related to top ( width, Yt , etc)
- Top Couplings and Rare Decays
- Deliverables: Sensitivity as a function of integrated luminosity for various rare decays and FCNC processes in both single production at 240 GeV and pair production at 350 GeV
- Generator configuration and theory framework for couplings (SM and anomalousBSM)
- Top (anomalous) couplings: direct and indirect approach (see presentation by B. Mele 19/06/2014 7th FCC-ee workshop)
- Simulation and reconstruction: FCNC single top production is a benchmark analysis for c-tagging performance
- Pair-production analyses @350 GeV
- Single top production analyses @240 GeV
- The case for higher energy 500 GeV
- Deliverables: estimate of precision of Yt from ttH production as function of characteristics of the possible upgrade. Critical evaluation of the need for such a run from the study of other possible measurements
- Direct extraction of Yt from ttH
- Other possible BSM signals (composite Higgs scenarios?). Strong interaction with BSM group and theory
