Angular Distribution of Leptons from Top-Quark Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
Angular distribution of the secondary lepton in top-quark production followed by subsequent semi-leptonic decay is studied assuming general top-quark couplings. It is shown that the distribution does not depend on any possible anomalous tbW couplings and is determined only by the standard V −A decay vertex for any production mechanism if certain well-justified conditions are satisfied.

QCD Corrections to Inclusive Distributions of Leptons in Decays of Polarised Heavy Quarks*
Compact analytic expressions have been obtained for the first order perturbative QCD corrections to the inclusive spectra of the leptons in the semileptonic decays of polarised heavy quarks. Charmed and beautiful Λ baryons from Z decays can be viewed as sources of highly polarised charm and bottom quarks. Charged leptons and neutrinos from Λb and Λc decays can be used in the polarisation studie...
متن کاملAngular correlations of lepton pairs from vector boson and top quark decays in Monte Carlo simulations
We explain how angular correlations in leptonic decays of vector bosons and top quarks can be included in Monte Carlo parton showers, in particular those matched to NLO QCD computations. We consider the production of n pairs of leptons, originating from the decays of n electroweak vector bosons or of n top quarks, in the narrow-width approximation. In the latter case, the information on the n b...
متن کاملDecoupling of Anomalous Top-Decay Vertices in Angular Distribution of Secondary Particles
Angular distribution of a secondary particle from top-quark decays is studied in a simple and general manner, paying careful attention to how relevant the top-quark production mechanism is. The conditions that lead to the distribution free from any possible anomalous top-quark decay interactions are specified. It is discussed how important the approximations adopted in earlier papers are. PACS:...
متن کاملAnnihilation: Rescattering Corrections *
Top quark pair production close to threshold at a next linear col-lider is discussed, with special focus on the influence of rescattering corrections. Numerical results are shown for the differential cross-section, i.e. the momentum distribution and the forward backward asymmetry, and for moments of the angular distribution of leptons arising from the semileptonic top quark decay.
