New Physics Effects in the Flavor-changing Neutral Couplings of the Top Quark
نویسنده
چکیده
We survey the flavor-changing neutral couplings (FCNC) of the top quark predicted by some extensions of the Standard Model: THDM, SUSY, L-R symmetric, TC2, 331, and models with extra quarks. Since the expected sensitivity of the LHC and ILC for the tcV (V = γ, g, Z) and tcH couplings is of order of a few percent, we emphasize the importance of any new physics effect that gives a prediction for these FCNC couplings within this limit. We also review the constraints imposed on these couplings from lowenergy precision measurements.

We present a general phenomenological analysis of a class of Two Higgs Doublet Models with Flavor Changing Neutral Currents arising at the tree level. The existing constraints mainly affect the couplings of the first two generations of quarks, leaving the possibility for non negligible Flavor Changing couplings of the top quark open. The next generation of lepton and hadron colliders will offer...
متن کاملThreshold Resummation Effects in Direct Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders
We investigate the threshold-enhanced QCD corrections to the cross sections for direct top quark productions induced by model-independent flavor changing neutral current couplings at hadron colliders. We use the soft-collinear effective theory to describe the incoming massless partons and use the heavy quark effective theory to treat the top quark. Then we construct the flavor changing operator...
متن کاملSearch for flavor changing neutral currents in decays of top quarks
We present a search for flavor changing neutral currents in decays of top quarks. The analysis is based on a search for t ¯ t → ℓ ′ νℓ ¯ ℓ+jets (ℓ, ℓ ′ = e, µ) final states using 4.1 fb −1 of integrated luminosity of p¯ p collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV. We extract limits on the branching ratio B(t → Zq) (q = u, c quarks), assuming anomalous tuZ or tcZ couplings. We do not observe any sign of such...
متن کاملAspects of Standard Models with Two Higgs Doublets
We 2 present some properties of the SM with two Higgs doublets. Unlike the minimal SM, the Yukawa couplings (in the usual " type II " model) converge with the increasing energy to flavor democracy (FD), i.e. to common values, in a specific flavor basis. This may represent a possible signal of some new, (almost) flavor-blind physics beyond the SM. When imposing the assumption of equality of the ...
متن کاملFCNC top quark production via anomalous tqV couplings beyond leading order
We calculate flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) processes involving top-quark production via anomalous tqV couplings at the Tevatron and HERA colliders. We cover the FCNC processes pp̄ → tZ, pp̄ → tγ, pp̄ → tt, and ep → et. We go beyond leading order and include the effects of soft-gluon corrections through next-to-next-to-leading order. We demonstrate the stabilisation of the cross section wi...
