Extended Color Models with a Heavy Top Quark
We present a class of models in which the top quark, by mixing with new physics at a higher energy scale, is naturally heavier than the other standard model particles. We take this new physics to be extended color. Our models contain new particles with masses between 100 GeV and 1 TeV, some of which may be just within the reach of the next generation of experiments. In particular one of our mod...
متن کاملA Heavy Top Quark and the Zbb̄ Vertex in Non-Commuting Extended Technicolor
We explore corrections to electroweak parameters in the context of Extended Technicolor (ETC) models in which the ETC gauge-boson which generates the top-quark mass carries weak SU(2) charge. For mt ∼ 150 GeV there exist potentially large corrections to the Z decay width to b-quarks. Interestingly, in contrast to the situation in ETC models where the gauge-boson which generates the top-quark ma...
متن کاملTop quark decays into heavy quark mesons.
For top quark decays into heavy quark mesons Υ and B̄ c , a complete calculation to the leading order both in QCD coupling constant αs and in v, the typical velocity of the heavy quarks inside the mesons, is performed. Relatons between the top quark mass and the decay branching ratios are studied. Comparion with the results which are obtained by using the quark frangmentation functions is also d...
متن کاملThe Significance of the Heavy Top Quark
Experiment shows that the top quark is far heavier than the other elementary fermions. This finding has stimulated research on theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking that include physics beyond the standard model. Efforts to accommodate a heavy top quark within existing frameworks have revealed constraints on model-building. Other investigations have started from the premise that ...
متن کاملThe Heavy Top Quark and Supersymmetry * † Disclaimer
Three aspects of supersymmetric theories are discussed: electroweak symmetry breaking, the issues of flavor, and gauge unification. The heavy top quark plays an important, sometimes dominant, role in each case. Additional symmetries lead to extensions of the standard model which can provide an understanding for many of the outstanding problems of particle physics. A broken supersymmetric extens...
