Studies of top quark properties at the D0 experiment

  • 1. IRFU, SPP, Saclay (France)

Description

We present an overview of selected top quark properties in lepton + jets and dilepton final states based on 1-4.3 fb-1 of data, collected with the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The recent measurement of theW boson helicity, a search for anomalous top quark couplings, and measurements of spin correlations and forward backward color charge asymmetry are discussed. Since the discovery of top quark in 1995 by CDF and D0, the discovered particle is considered as a standard model (SM) top quark, mainly because its cross-section is in a reasonable agreement with QCD calculations and its measured mass is in a agreement with indirect top quark mass determinations. However the limited precision of these comparisons doesn't exclude the possibility of non SM contributions in the top quark final states, so direct measurements of top quark properties are useful to confirm its SM nature. In this article we report several recent measurements done using 1-4.3 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
