Electroweak Cross-sections and Widths
نویسنده
چکیده
The status of W and Z cross-section and width measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments is reviewed. Recent results that are discussed: the cross-section for Z production times the branching ratio to tau pairs, the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of Z production in the electron channel, and the direct measurements of the W width and the Z invisible width; the latter from an analysis of events with large missing transverse energy and one or more energetic jets.

Predictions for all processes e + e − → 4 fermions + γ
The complete matrix elements for e + e − → 4f and e + e − → 4f γ are calculated in the Electroweak Standard Model for polarized massless fermions. The matrix elements for all final states are reduced to a few compact generic functions. Monte Carlo generators for e + e − → 4f and e + e − → 4f γ are constructed. We compare different treatments of the finite widths of the electroweak gauge bosons;...
متن کاملElectroweak-scale Excess Cross-sections in the Sextet Quark “standard Model”
When the Higgs sector of the standard model is replaced by a flavor doublet of color sextet quarks, dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking occurs, with the electroweak scale identified as the sextet chiral scale. Above the electroweak scale QCD is almost scale-invariant, leading to the high-momentum enhancement of both the sextet chiral condensate and instanton interactions. The instanton inte...

Perturbative QCD calculations of total cross sections and decay widths in hard inclusive processes A summary of the current understanding of methods of analytical higher order perturbative computations of total cross sections and decay widths in Quantum Chromodynamics is presented. As examples, the quantities σ tot (e + e − → hadrons), Γ(τ − → ν τ + hadrons) and Γ(H → hadrons) up to O(α 2 s) an...
متن کاملExcess Cross - Sections at the Electroweak Scale in the Sextet Quark “ Standard Model
If dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking is due to a flavor doublet of color sextet quarks, enhanced electroweak scale QCD instanton interactions may produce a large top mass, raise the η6 axion mass, and also explain the excesses in the DIS cross-section at HERA and jet cross-sections at the Tevatron. Presented at the 5th International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and QCD, Chicago, ...
متن کاملTwo-Loop Electroweak Heavy-Fermion Corrections to Higgs-Boson Production and Decay
The dominant electroweak corrections to the production cross sections and partial decay widths of a light Standard-Model Higgs boson, with mass MH ≪ 2mt, are due to top-quark loops. By means of a low-energy theorem, we study at the twoloop level the leading shifts in the Higgs-boson couplings to pairs of light fermions and gauge bosons induced by a sequential isodoublet of high-mass fermions. F...
