Possible large mass effects in direct determination of the CKM elements in top decays

چکیده
We discuss the possibility that mass effects, beyond phase space, may have substantial influence on the direct determination of Vtq in decays of top quarks. In principle, our results are valid both for singly produced top and for tt̄ pair production.

Direct Determination of the CKM Matrix from Decays of W Bosons and Top Quarks at High Energy e+e− Colliders
At proposed high energy linear ee colliders a large number of W bosons and top quarks will be produced. We evaluate the potential precision to which the decay branching ratios into the various quark species can be measured, implying also the determination of the respective CKM matrix elements. Crucial is the identification of the individual quark flavours, which can be achieved independent of Q...
متن کاملImplications of the Top Quark Mass Measurement for the CKM Parameters, xs and CP Asymmetries
Motivated by the recent determination of the top quark mass by the CDF collaboration, mt = 174± 10 −12 GeV, we review and update constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix VCKM in the standard model. In performing these fits, we use inputs from the measurements of |ǫ|, the CP-violating parameter in K decays, xd = (∆M)/Γ, the mixing parameter in B d-B 0 d mixing, the presen...

Motivated by the recent determination of the top quark mass by the CDF collaboration, mt = 174 ± 10 −12 GeV, we review and update the constraints on the parameters of the quark flavour mixing matrix VCKM in the standard model. In performing our fits, we use inputs from the measurements of the following quantities: (i) |ǫ|, the CP-violating parameter in K decays, (ii) ∆Md, the mass difference du...

In the minimal standard model the couplings of the W bosons to the quarks are given in terms of the elements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa ~CKM! matrix Vi j , which arises from diagonalizing the quark mass matrices. In the minimal standard model ~i.e., one Higgs doublet!, it is this matrix that is responsible for the CP nonconservation observed in kaon decay. A precise determination of the e...
