Search for resonances decaying into top quark pairs using fully hadronic decays in pp collisions with ATLAS at √(s)=7 TeV

A search for new particles that decay into top-quark pairs producing two massive jets with high transverse momentum is presented. Data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during the proton-proton collision run at √(s)=7 TeV in 2011 is analysed. The substructure-based HEPTopTagger technique is used to separate top-quark jets from those arising from light quarks or gluons. The performance of this method is evaluated using a statistically independent sample. Top-quark candidates are also required to have a bottom-quark decay associated with them. The backgrounds are estimated using data-driven techniques. No significant deviation between data and the sum of Standard Model background processes, such as t anti t production and multijet production, is observed in the di-top invariant mass spectrum mtantit. Therefore limits on the production cross section times branching fractions of certain models of Z' boson and a Kaluza-Klein gluon resonances are set. The production of Z' bosons with masses between 0.70 and 1.00 TeV as well as 1.28 and 1.32 TeV and Kaluza-Klein gluons with masses between 0.70 and 1.48 TeV is excluded at 95% C.L.
