Ciobanu, C: A Neural Networks Search for Single Top Quark Pr

Measuring single top is an important test of the Standard Model, as its production cross section is directly proportional to Vtb^2, where Vtb represents the coupling between the top and the bottom quarks. In addition, it impacts the future searches for the Higgs boson, and has the potential to validate a number of phenomena outside of the Standard Model.We have developed a Neural Networks (NN) technique to identify single top events. Considering the single top signal to background ratio of less than 10%, the NN approach is more suitable than a ...
