چکیده

The B-factories results provide an impressive confirmation of the Standard Model (SM) description of flavor and CP violation. Nevertheless, as more data were accumulated, deviations in the 2.5-3.5 σ range have emerged pointing to the exciting possibility of new CP-odd phase(s) and flavor violating parameters in B-decays. Primarily this seems to be the case in the time dependent CP asymmetries in penguin dominated modes (e.g. B → φ(η)Ks). We discuss these and other deviations from the SM and, as an illustration of possible new physics scenarios, we examine the role of the Top Two Higgs Doublet Model. This is a simple extension of the SM obtained by adding second Higgs doublet in which the Yukawa interactions of the two Higgs doublets are assigned in order to naturally account for the large top-quark mass. Of course, many other extensions of the Standard Model could also account for these experimental deviations. Clearly if one takes these deviations seriously then some new particles in the ≈ 300 GeV to ≈ few TeV with associated new CP-odd phase(s) are needed. ar X iv :0 70 7. 02 12 v1 [ he pph ] 1 J ul 2 00 7

Probing flavor-changing top-charm-scalar interactions in e+e- collisions.

Due to the very large mass of the top-quark, probing the flavor changing top-charm-scalar vertex is clearly very important. Fortunately the largeness of mt endows a unique signature to the resulting reaction i.e., e+ea t~(fc) that should be helpfuL in identification of such events. A two Higgs doublet model, without natural flavor conservation, is used to give an illustrative estimate for the r...

Yukawa Corrections to Single Top Quark Production at the Fermilab Tevatron in the Two-Higgs-Doublet Models

We calculate Yukawa corrections of order αewM 2 t /M 2 W to single top quark production via qq̄′ → tb̄ at the Fermilab Tevatron in the two-Higgs-doublet models. In our calculation we also keep the terms proportional to M b tan 2 β since their effects may become rather important for large tanβ. The corrections can amount to more than a 15% reduction in the production cross section relative to the ...

Loop Induced Flavor Changing Neutral Decays of the Top Quark in a General Two-Higgs-Doublet Model

Decays of the top quark induced by flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) are known to be extremely rare events within the Standard Model. This is so not only for the decay modes into gauge bosons, but most notably in the case of the Higgs channels, e.g. t → HSM + c, with a branching fraction of 10 at most. Therefore, detection of FCNC top quark decays in a future high-energy, and high-luminos...

Beyond the Standard Model searches with top quarks at D 0

Due to its high mass and short lifetime, the top quark plays an important role in checking the Standard Model of particle physics. In this report, we present a variety of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model, involving top quarks, at the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Specifically, we present searches in top quark pair production, single top quark production and top qu...

We present a general phenomenological analysis of a class of Two Higgs Doublet Models with Flavor Changing Neutral Currents arising at the tree level. The existing constraints mainly affect the couplings of the first two generations of quarks, leaving the possibility for non negligible Flavor Changing couplings of the top quark open. The next generation of lepton and hadron colliders will offer...
