Probing the topcolor-assisted technicolor model via the single t-quark production at Hadron colliders

چکیده
The single t-quark production in proton-proton collisions can proceed through three distinct processes, tq, tb̄, tW productions. With the running of the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) at CERN, it has good potential to measure each single t-quark production mode. The topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) model, one of the promising dynamical theories, predicts some new particles at several hundred GeV scale: three top-pion bosons(Π±t ,Π 0 t ) and one top-higgs boson(ht). These particles are regarded as the typical feature of the TC2 model and can contribute to some processes. In this paper, we systematically study the contribution of the TC2 model to the single t-quark production at the Hadron colliders, specially at the LHC. The TC2 model can contribute to the cross section of the single t-quark production in two different ways. First, the existence of the top-pions and top-higgs can modify the Wtb coupling via their loop contributions, and such modification can cause the correction to the cross sections of all three production modes. Our study shows that this kind of correction is negative and very small in all cases. Thus it is difficult to observe such correction even at the LHC. On the other hand, there exist the tree-level FC couplings in the TC2 model which can also contribute to the cross sections of the tq and tb̄ production processes. The resonant effect can greatly enhance the cross sections of the tq and tb̄ productions. The first evidence of the single ∗E-mail:[email protected]

Top quark associated production of topcolor pions at hadron colliders
We investigate the associated production of a neutral physical pion with top quarks in the context of topcolor assisted technicolor. We find that single-top associated production does not yield viable rates at either the Tevatron or LHC. tt̄-associated production at the Tevatron is suppressed relative to Standard Model tt̄H, but at the LHC is strongly enhanced and would allow for easy observation...
متن کاملAssociated production of the top-pions and single top at hadron colliders
In the context of topcolor assisted technicolor(TC2) models, we study the production of the top-pions π t with single top quark via the processes pp̄ → tπ0 t+X and pp̄ → tπ t + X, and discuss the possibility of detecting these new particles at Tevatron and LHC. We find that it is very difficult to observe the signals of these particles via these processes at Tevatron, while the neutral and charge...

متن کاملElectroweak and Flavor Dynamics at Hadron Colliders–II
This is the second of two reports cataloging the principal signatures of electroweak and flavor dynamics at p̄p and pp colliders. Here, we complete our overview of technicolor with a discussion of signatures specific to topcolor-assisted technicolor. We also review signatures of flavor dynamics associated with quark and lepton substructure. These occur in excess production rates for dijets and d...
متن کاملDiscovery Mass Reach for Topgluons Decaying to tt̄ at the Tevatron
In topcolor assisted technicolor, topgluons are massive gluons which couple mainly to top and bottom quarks. We estimate the mass reach for topgluons decaying to tt̄ at the Tevatron as a function of integrated luminosity. The mass reach for topgluons decreases with increasing topgluon width, and is 1.0− 1.1 TeV for Run II (2 fb) and 1.3− 1.4 TeV for TeV33 (30 fb). I. TOPCOLOR AND TOPGLUONS Topco...
