Dynamical Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and the Top Quark∗
In this talk I discuss theories of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, with emphasis on the implications of a heavy top-quark on the weak-interaction ρ parameter. ∗AN ABBREVIATED VERSION OF THIS TALK WAS PRESENTED AT THE WORKSHOP ON TOP QUARK PHYSICS, IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY, AMES, IA, MAY 25-26, 1995 AND THE YUKAWA INTERNATIONAL SEMINAR ‘95, YUKAWA INSTITUTE, KYOTO, AUG. 21-25, 1995. 1 What...
متن کاملTop-ology Top Search and Discovery
Top is a most remarkable particle, even for a quark. A single top quark weighs 175 GeV/c 2 , about as much as an atom of gold. But unlike the gold atom, which can be disassembled into 79 protons, 79 electrons, and 118 neutrons, top seems indivisible, for we discern no structure at a resolution approaching 10 −18 m. Top's expected lifetime of about 0.4 yoctosecond (0.4× 10 −24 s) makes it by far...
متن کاملThe role of electroweak penguin and magnetic dipole QCD penguin on hadronic b Quark Decays
This research, works with the effective Hamiltonian and the quark model. Using, the decay rates of matter-antimatter of b quark was investigated. We described the effective Hamiltonian theory which was applied to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2), QCD penguin (Q3,…,6), magnetic dipole (Q8) and electroweak penguin (Q7,…,10) decay rates. The gluonic penguin structure of hadronic decays ...

A four generation supersymmetric model is proposed, in which the Tevatron “top-quark” events are reinterpreted as the production of t′ which decays dominantly to bW. In this model, mt ≃ mW , and t → t̃χ̃01, with t̃ → cχ̃01. This decay chain, which rarely produces a hard isolated lepton, would have been missed in all previous top quark searches. A narrow region of the model parameter space exists wh...
متن کاملThe Top Story
This is an overview of top quark search, with particular emphasis on the more recent results. After a brief introduction to the basic constituents of matter and their interactions, I shall discuss the indirect evidences for the existence of top quark and its mass from LEP and finally the direct observation of a top quark signal recently reported from the Tevatron collider. I shall try to put th...
