Search for tt̄ resonances in the lepton plus jets final state with ATLAS using 4.7 fb –1 of pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
A search for new particles that decay into top quark pairs (tt) is performed with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb –1 of proton–proton (pp) collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy √s = 7 TeV. In the tt̄→ WbWb decay, the lepton plus jets final state...
