abstract:
A search for resonances produced in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions and decaying
into top-quark pairs is described. In this Letter events where the top-quark decay produces
two massive jets with large transverse momenta recorded with the ATLAS detector
at the Large Hadron Collider are considered. Two techniques that rely on jet substructure
are used to separate top-quark jets from those arising from light quarks and gluons. In addition,
each massive jet is required to have evidence of an associated bottom-quark decay.
The data are consistent with the Standard Model, and limits can be set on the production
cross section times branching fraction of a Z0 boson and a Kaluza-Klein gluon resonance.
These limits exclude, at the 95% credibility level, Z0 bosons with masses 0.70-1.00 TeV as
well as 1.28-1.32 TeV and Kaluza-Klein gluons with masses 0.70-1.62 TeV.
