Spin Correlation in Top-Quark Production at Hadron Colliders
We propose techniques to observe the correlation of the spins of top quarks and antiquarks at the Tevatron and the LHC. Observation of the spin correlation would confirm that the top quark decays before its spin flips, and would place a lower bound on the top-quark width and Vtb. The spin correlation may also be a useful tool to study the weak decay amplitude of the top quark.
متن کاملSingle-top-quark production at hadron colliders
Single-top-quark production probes the charged-current weak interaction of the top quark, and provides a direct measurement of the CKM matrix element Vtb. We perform two independent analyses to quantify the accuracy with which the W -gluon fusion (gq → tb̄q) and qq̄ → tb̄ signals can be extracted from the backgrounds at both the Tevatron and the LHC. Although perturbation theory breaks down at low...
متن کاملSpin-Spin Correlations of Top Quark Pairs at Hadron Colliders
Top quark pairs are produced with strongly correlated spins in the partonic reactions qq̄ → tt̄ and gg → tt̄. A complete description of these effects in terms of the spin density matrix of the tt̄ system in leading order QCD is given. We further discuss the prospects to observe the spin-spin correlations at pp̄ and pp colliders by measuring suitable angular correlations among the t and t̄ decay produ...
متن کاملSpin properties of top quark pairs produced at hadron colliders
We discuss the spin properties of top quark pairs produced at hadron colliders at next-to-leading order in the coupling constant αs of the strong interaction. Specifically we present, for some decay channels, results for differential angular distributions that are sensitive to tt̄ spin correlations. PACS number(s): 12.38.Bx, 13.88.+e, 14.65.Ha
