Measurement of the top quark electric charge
ORAL
Abstract
In the Standard Model, the electric charge of the top quark is predicted to be 2/3 of the electron charge. Experimentally, the more exotic possibility of 4e/3 is not excluded yet. We present the method to measure the top quark charge, which is based on $b$ and $\bar{b}$ jet charge templates obtained by applying a jet charge algorithm to $b$-tagged jets. In this talk, we present the measurement of the top quark charge using $t\bar{t}$ vents in the lepton+4jets final state with two identified $b$-jets, using 5.4 fb$^{-1}$ of data recorded with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.
