Spin Correlations in top quark pair production near threshold at the e−e+ Linear Collider
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the spin correlations in top quark pair production near threshold at the e−e+ linear collider. Comparing with the results above the threshold region, we find that near the threshold region the off-diagonal basis, the optimized decomposition of the top quark spins above the threshold region, does not exist, and the beamline basis is the optimal basis, in which there are the dominant spin components: the up-down (UD) component for eLe + scattering and the down-up (DU) component for eRe + scattering can make up more than 50% of the total cross section, respectively.

Unlike other examples of fermion pair production in e+e− collisions, we show that top-quark pairs are produced in an essentially unique spin configuration in polarized e+e− colliders at all energies. Since the directions of the electroweak decay products of polarized top-quarks are strongly correlated to the top-quark spin axis, this unique spin configuration leads to a distinctive topology for...
متن کاملCP Violation in the Top-Quark Pair Production at a Next Linear Collider
We provide a detailed, model-independent, study for CP violation effects due to the T -odd top-quark electric dipole moment (EDM) and weak dipole moment (WDM) in the top-quark pair production via e+e− and two-photon annihilation at a next e+e− linear collider (NLC). There are two methods in detecting CP violation effects in these processes. One method makes use of measurements of various spin c...
متن کاملTop Threshold Physics
Running a future Linear Collider at the top pair threshold allows for precise measurements of the mass, the widths and the couplings of the top quark. I give a nontechnical review on recent theoretical developments and the theory status in top threshold physics concerning QCD corrections and top quark finite lifetime and electroweak effects. I also discuss threshold physics in the context of me...
متن کاملTop Quark Physics at a Polarized
Top quark pair production is presented at a polarized Muon Collider above the threshold region. The off-diagonal spin basis is the natural basis for this discussion as the top quark pairs are produced in an essentially unique spin configuration for 100% polarization. Modest polarization, say 30%, can lead to 90% of all top quark pair events being in one spin configuration. This will lead to sen...
متن کاملTop quark pair production and decay at a polarized photon collider
Top quark pair production by (polarized) γγ collisions offers an interesting testing ground of the Standard Model and its extensions. In this Letter we present results for differential cross sections of top quark pair production and decay including QCD radiative corrections. We take into account the full dependence on the top quark spins. We give analytic and numerical results for single and do...
