MC analysis for ttbar studies

Experiment: ()

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Hendrik Hoeth - Andy Buckley - Christian Gutschow - Dave Mallows - Michal Kawalec

References: none listed

Beams: * *

Beam energies: ANY

Run details: - pp -> tt, force top decays to be one of all hadronic / single leptonic / dileptonic / non-all-hadronic.

A pure Monte Carlo study for tt̄ production, characterising the top-quark final-state via jet and lepton reconstruction rather than the unreliable partonic tops.
