Effects of unparticle on top spin correlation at the Large Hadron Collider

چکیده
We study effects of the scale invariant hidden sector, unparticle, proposed by Georgi, on top spin correlation at the Large Hadron Collider. Assuming no flavor changing interaction between the unparticles and the Standard Model particles, there arises the top-antitop quark pair production process through virtual unparticle exchanges in the s-channel in addition to the Standard Model processes. In particular, we consider contributions of scalar and vector unparticles and find that these make sizable deviations of the top spin correlation from the Standard Model one.

Maximizing the spin correlation of top quark pairs produced at the Large Hadron Collider
The measurement of top quark spin correlation is an important tool for precise studies of top quark interactions. In this letter I construct a quantization axis maximizing the spin correlation at the LHC within the Standard Model. Using this axis a spin correlation of 48% or even more, on applying additional cuts, can be reached. This represents a significant improvement compared to the helicit...

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to top quark spin correlations at hadron colliders: the reactions q ¯ q → t ¯ t(g) Abstract: Future hadron collider experiments are expected to record large to huge samples of t ¯ t events. The analysis of these data with respect to t ¯ t spin-spin correlations requires precise predictions of the production of these quark pairs in a general spin configurati...
متن کاملSpin 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.

Hidden valleys, hidden sectors with multi-particle dynamics and a mass gap, can produce striking and unusual final states at the LHC. Unparticle models, hidden-sectors with conformal dynamics and no (or a very small) mass gap, can result in unusual kinematic features that indirectly reflect the conformal dynamics. When sufficiently large mass gaps are added to unparticle models, they become hid...

Future hadron collider experiments will allow for a detailed investigation of t ¯ t spin correlation effects. In this talk, recent progress in the theoretical description of these effects is reported. In particular, next-to-leading order results for the t ¯ t spin correlations in q ¯ q → t ¯ tX are presented, using various spin quantization axes. Top quark pair production and decay can be descr...
