Electroweak corrections to tt̄ production at hadron colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on our recent work on electroweak corrections to tt̄ production at hadron colliders. Specifically, we discuss the weak-interaction contributions to the top quark transverse momentum and tt̄ invariant mass distributions and an induced parity-violating top-spin asymmetry. PACS number(s): 12.15.Lk, 12.38.Bx, 13.88.+e, 14.65.Ha

Leading Electroweak Corrections to the Production of Heavy Top Quarks at Hadron Colliders
We calculate the electroweak corrections of the order O( 2 t v2 ) to the QCD production of tt̄ pairs via qq̄ → tt̄ at hadron colliders and show that these corrections to the total production rate are small. This correction can be characterized as increasing the cross section most near the threshold region, where top quark signals are important, while the corrections become negative at higher tt̄ en...
متن کاملParity Violating Asymmetries in Top Pair Production at Hadron Colliders
We study loop-induced parity violating asymmetries in the strong production of polarized top quark pairs at pp and pp̄ colliders. The electroweak O(α) corrections to the helicity amplitudes of qq̄ → tt̄ and gg → tt̄ are evaluated in a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) and the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). While observables in top quark pair production receive little contribution from s...
متن کاملElectroweak corrections to γZ production at hadron colliders
In this paper we present the results from a calculation of the full electroweak oneloop corrections for γZ vector-boson pair production at hadron colliders. The cases of proton–antiproton as well as proton–proton collisions, at the Tevatron and the LHC, respectively, are considered. Results are presented for the distribution of the γZ invariant mass and for the transverse momentum of the final-...
متن کاملProbing 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 کاملNLO QED contributions to top-pair production at hadron colliders
Electroweak one-loop calculations for production of top-quark pairs at colliders are completed by providing the missing QED type contributions from real and virtual photons, where also effects from interference between QED and QCD contributions have to be taken into account. Moreover, photon-induced tt̄ production is included as another partonic channel.
