Abstract

In this paper, we study the top quark pair events production in pp collisions in the [Formula: see text] channel at the energy of [Formula: see text] TeV for Standard Model as well as new physics processes. We explore the usage of semi-boosted topologies where the top quark decays into a high-transverse momentum (boosted) hadronic W-jet and an isolated b-jet and study their performance in the [Formula: see text] events kinematic reconstruction. An important event fraction is recovered and the correlation of selected kinematic variables between the detector and particle level is studied. Quality of the reconstructed mass line shape of a hypothetical scalar resonance decaying into [Formula: see text] is evaluated and compared for regimes of a different degree of the transverse boost. Unfolding performance is checked in terms of comparing the excess of events in spectra before and after the unfolding, concluding with the proof of a signal significance loss after the unfolding procedure for both energy and angle related observables, with possible applications for current LHC experiments.
