An optimal scheme for top quark mass measurement near tbar{t} threshold at future e⁺e⁻ colliders
read the original abstract
A simulation of top quark mass measurement scheme near the $t\bar{t}$ production threshold in future $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders, e.g. the Circular Electron Positron Collider(CEPC), is performed. $\chi^2$ fitting method is adopted to determine the number of energy points to be taken and their locations. Our result shows that the optimal energy point is located near the largest slope of the cross section to beam energy and the most efficient scheme is to concentrate all luminosity on this single energy point in one parameter top mass fitting case. This suggests that the so called data driven method can be a best choice for the future real experimental measurement. Conveniently, the top mass statistical uncertainty can also be calculated directly by the error matrix even without any sampling and fitting. Agreement of the above two optimization methods has been checked. Our conclusion is that by taking 50~$fb^{-1}$ total effective integrated luminosity data, the statistical uncertainty of the top potential subtracted mass can be suppressed to about 7~MeV and the total uncertainty is about 30~MeV. This precision will help to identify the stability of the electroweak vacuum at the Planck scale.
