Analysis of tbW and ttZ couplings from CLEO and LEP/SLC data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We update the constraints on anomalous dimension four t-b-W and t-t-Z couplings by using CLEO b → sγ and LEP/SLC precision Z-pole data. It is found that the data imposes very stringent bounds on them. Moreover, the 2σ pull from SM predictions of ALR(hadrons), Ab and AFB(b) have little chance of being explained by the strongly constrained anomalous couplings. PACS numbers: 14.65.Ha, 12.39.Fe, 12.60.-i

Probing Electroweak Top Quark Couplings at Hadron and Lepton Colliders
Although the top quark was discovered almost ten years ago [1,2], many of its properties are still only poorly known [3]. In particular, the couplings of the top quark to the electroweak (EW) gauge bosons have not yet been directly measured. Current data provide only weak constraints on the couplings of the top quark with the EW gauge bosons, except for the ttZ vector and axial vector couplings...
متن کاملClosing the light sbottom mass window from a compilation of e+e− → hadron data
The e+e− → hadron cross section data from PEP, PETRA, TRISTAN, SLC and LEP, at centre-of-mass energies between 20 to 209GeV, are analysed to search for the production of a pair of light sbottoms decaying hadronically via R-parityviolating couplings. This analysis allows the 95%C.L. exclusion of such a particle if its mass is below 7.5GeV/c2. The light sbottom mass window is closed. To be publis...
متن کاملThe Z Boson
Precision measurements at the Z-boson resonance using electron{positron colliding beams began in 1989 at the SLC and at LEP. During 1989{95, the four CERN experiments made high-statistics studies of the Z. The availability of longitudinally polarized electron beams at the SLC since 1993 enabled a precision determination of the eeective electroweak mixing angle sin 2 W that is competitive with t...
متن کاملReview of Weak Mixing Angle Results at Slc and Lep+
In this paper, we review recent precise measurements of the weak mixing angle by the SLD experiment at SLC and by the ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, and OPAL experiments at LEP. If we assume that the Minimal Standard Model provides a complete description of the quark and lepton couplings to the 2 boson, we find sin’ 0% = 0.23143 f 0.00028. If this assumption is relaxed to apply to lepton couplings only, we...
متن کاملConstraints on the electroweak universal parameters and the top and Higgs masses from updated LEP / SLC data
A global analysis is performed using the latest data from LEP and SLC. Constraints on the electroweak universal parameters (S, T, U) and on the masses of the top quark and Higgs boson within the Standard Model (SM) are investigated. The uncertainties due to the QCD and QED effective couplings, α s (m Z) and ¯ α(m 2 Z), are examined in detail. Even though the mean value of S is increased to be c...
