Probing top flavour-changing neutral scalar couplings at the CERN LHC

چکیده
Top decays into a light Higgs boson and an up or charm quark can reach detectable levels in Standard Model extensions with two Higgs doublets or with new exotic quarks, and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Using both a standard and a neural network analysis we show that the CERN Large Hadron Collider will give 3σ evidence of decays with Br(t → Hc) ≥ 6.5 × 10−5 or set a limit Br(t → Hc) ≤ 4.5 × 10−5 with a 95% confidence level if these decays are not observed. We also consider limits obtained from single top production associated with a neutral Higgs boson. PACS: 12.15.Mm; 12.60.Fr; 14.65.Ha; 14.80.Cp

Multilepton production via top flavour-changing neutral couplings at the CERN LHC
Zt and γt production with Z → ll and t → Wb → lνb provides the best determination of top flavour-changing neutral couplings at the LHC. The bounds on tc couplings eventually derived from these processes are similar to those expected from top decays, while the limits on tu couplings are better by a factor of two. The other significant Z and W decay modes are also investigated. PACS: 12.15.Mm, 12...

The top flavour-changing neutral couplings can be large in extended models with vector-like quarks. In the next decade(s) the CERN Large Hadron Collider will allow to measure (bound) them with a precision of few per cent.
متن کاملTop flavour-changing neutral coupling signals at a linear collider
We present an analysis of the sensitivity of the TESLA e+e− collider to top flavour-changing neutral couplings to the Z boson and photon. We consider the cases without beam polarization, with only e− polarization and with e− and e+ polarization, showing that the use of the latter substantially enhances the sensitivity to discover or bound these vertices. For some of the couplings the expected L...
متن کاملQcd Flavour Changing Top Quark Decay
We present a detailed and complete calculation of the gluino and scalar quarks contribution to the flavour-changing top quark decay into a charm quark and a photon, gluon, or a Z 0 boson within the minimal supersymmetric standard model including flavour changing gluino-quarks-scalar quarks couplings in the right-handed sector. We compare the results with the ones presented in an earlier paper w...
متن کاملZt and γt production via top flavour - changing neutral couplings at the Fermilab Tevatron
Associated single top production with a Z boson or a photon at large hadron colliders provides a precise determination of top flavour-changing neutral couplings. The best way to measure these couplings with the up quark at Tevatron is to search for events with three jets and missing energy or events with a pho-ton, a charged lepton, a jet and missing energy. The other significant decay channels...
