The MIT Libraries is completing a major upgrade to DSpace@MIT. Starting May 5 2026, DSpace will remain functional, viewable, searchable, and downloadable, however, you will not be able to edit existing collections or add new material. We are aiming to have full functionality restored by May 18, 2026 but intermittent service interruptions may occur. Please email dspace-lib@mit.edu
with any questions. Thank you for your patience as we implement this important upgrade.

| dc.description.abstract | We present a measurement of the electric charge of the top quark using pp[over-bar] collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7 fb[superscript -1] at the CDF II detector. We reconstruct tt[over-bar] events in the lepton+jets final state. We use soft lepton taggers to determine the flavor of the b jets, which we use to reconstruct the top quark’s electric charge and exclude an exotic top quark with -4/3 charge at 95% confidence level. This is the strongest exclusion of the exotic charge scenario and the first to use soft leptons for this purpose. | en_US |
