The t → WZ b decay in the Standard Model : A Critical Reanalysis
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the t → WZ b decay rate, in the Standard Model, at the leading order in perturbation theory, with special attention to the effects of the finite widths of the W and Z bosons. These effects are extremely important, since the t → WZ b decay occurs near its kinematical threshold. They increase the value of the decay rate by orders of magnitude near threshold or allow it below the nominal threshold. We discuss a procedure to take into account the finite-width effects and compare the results with previous studies of this decay. Within the Standard Model, for a top quark mass in the range between 170 and 180 GeV, we find BR(t → WZ b) ≃ 2 × 10, which makes the observation at the LHC very difficult if at all possible.

Measurement of the WW, WZ and ZZ cross sections at CMS
This note presents an updated measurement of W+W− production, and first measurements of WZ and ZZ production in proton proton collisions at √ s = 7 TeV with the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.1 fb−1. The leptonic decay modes of the W and Z bosons are considered and the final states include electrons, muons, t...
متن کاملThe 2001 Superoutburst of WZ Sagittae: A Clue to the Dynamics of Accretion Disks
We examine the light curve of the July-August 2001 superoutburst of WZ Sagittae. During the decline from maximum light the locally defined decay time increases from ∼ 4 d mag to ∼ 12 d mag over the first ∼ 15 d of the ∼ 25 d superoutburst, as the system faded from mV ≃ 8.5 to mV ≃ 10. The superoutburst is caused by the sudden accretion of ∼ 10 g of gas onto the white dwarf, and the deviation fr...
متن کاملEffects of final state interaction in B^+_c to D^0 K^+ decay
In this paper, the decay of Bc+ meson, which consists of two b and c heavy quarks, into the Do and K+ mesons was studied. Given that the experimental branching ratio for this decay was within the range of 3.75*10-5 to 11.16*10-5; it was decided to calculate the theoretical branching ratio by applying the final state interaction (FSI) through the T and cross-section channels. In this process, b...
متن کاملWZ production at hadron colliders: Effects of nonstandard WWZ couplings and QCD corrections.
The process p p (−) → W±Z + X → `1 ν1`2 `2 + X is calculated to O(αs) for general C and P conserving WWZ couplings. At the Tevatron center of mass energy, the QCD corrections to WZ production are modest. At Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies, the inclusive QCD corrections are large, but can be reduced significantly if a jet veto is imposed. Sensitivity limits for the anomalous WWZ couplings a...

In this research, we are going to study the QCD penguin structure and calculate the second order approximation. The amplitude of decays related to QCD penguin in the quark model up to the first and second orders were calculated. We calculated the amplitude of QCD penguin on lowest order of αs for the first order of the decay processes b→qkg→qkqiqj and for the second order of the decay processes...
