Run details: - $pp$ QCD interactions at $\sqrt{s} = 8~\TeV with $t\bar{t}$ process. Data collected by CMS during the year 2012. Boosted topology restricts phase space, requiring high statistics in a single run or custom merging of the YODA files.
The cross section for pair production of top quarks with high transverse momenta ($p_\mathrm{T} > 400$~\GeV) is measured in 19.7~fb$^{-1}$ of $\mathrm{pp}$ collisions, collected with the CMS detector at $\sqrt{s} = 8~\TeV$. The measurement is performed for lepton+jets events, where one top quark decays according to $t \rightarrow Wb \rightarrow \ell \nu b$, with $\ell$ denoting an electron or muon, and the second top quark decays to an hadronic final state and is reconstructed as a single large-radius jet and identified as a top quark candidate using jet substructure techniques. Integrated cross sections, as well as differential cross sections as a function of the top quark $p_\mathrm{T}$ and rapidity, are measured both at particle level within a fiducial region resembling the detector-level selections and at parton level. RIVET: This analysis is to be run on $t\bar{t}$ Monte Carlo. It utilizes the PartonicTops projection, which assumes top quarks in the event record. The analysis has been validated with Powheg+Pythia6. The parton-level phase space is defined by requiring two PartonicTops. Exactly one PartonicTop must decay directly to a muon or electron (no intermediate tau), and exactly one PartonicTop decays hadronically. For $t\bar{t}$ Monte Carlo, this is equivalent to requiring the event to be semileptonic at parton level. The parton-level top quark is defined as the hadronically decaying top. The parton-level top quark is required to have $p_\mathrm{T} > 400~\GeV$. The particle-level phase space is defined using the following object definitions: - Lepton: A dressed electron or muon, meaning the lepton has been clustered with all photons within a cone of $R=0.1$. The DressedLepton projection is used to construct the dressed lepton. The lepton is required to have $p_\mathrm{T} > 45$~GeV and $|\eta| < 2.1$. - B Jet Candidate: Gen AK5 jets are formed by clustering the final state particles in the event using the anti-$k_{T}$ algorithm with distance parameter $R=0.5$. Neutrinos are excluded from the clustering, as are any particles included in the dressed lepton. The gen AK5 jet is required to have $p_{T} > 30$~GeV and $|\eta| < 2.4$. Gen AK5 jets in the same hemisphere as the lepton ($\Delta R(e/\mu,~\mathrm{jet}) < \pi/2$) are defined as $b$-jet candidates. - Top Jet Candidate: Gen CA8 jets are formed by clustering the final state particles in the event using the Cambridge-Aachen algorithm with distance parameter $R=0.8$. Neutrinos are excluded from the clustering, as are any particles included in the dressed lepton. The gen CA8 jet is required to have $p_{T} > 30$~GeV and $|\eta| < 2.4$. Gen CA8 jets which have $p_{T} > 400$~GeV, 140 GeV $<$ mass $<$ 250 GeV, and are in the opposite hemisphere from the lepton ($\Delta{R(e/\mu,\mathrm{jet})} > \pi/2$) are defined as top jet candidates. The particle-level phase space is defined by requiring $\geq 1$ b jet candidate, $\geq 1$ top jet candidate, and exactly one lepton. This is in addition to the parton-level semileptonic requirement. The highest-$p_\mathrm{T}$ top jet candidate is defined as the particle-level $t$ jet.
