Color sextet scalars in early LHC experiments.

چکیده
We explore the potential for discovery of an exotic color sextet scalar in same-sign top quark pair production in early running at the LHC. We present the first phenomenological analysis at colliders of color sextet scalars with full top quark spin correlations included. We demonstrate that one can measure the scalar mass, the top quark polarization, and confirm the scalar resonance with 1 fb⁻¹ of integrated luminosity. The top quark polarization can distinguish gauge triplet and singlet scalars.

On Baryogenesis and nn̄-Oscillations
We study a simple model where color sextet scalars violate baryon number at tree level but do not give rise to proton decay. In particular, we include one light and two heavy sextets with ∆B = 2 baryon number violating interactions that induce neutron anti-neutron oscillations. This setup also suggests an intimate connection to the generation of the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe via...
متن کاملSextet Quarks and the Pomeron at the LHC
Adding two color sextet quarks to QCD gives many special features. The high-energy S-Matrix, constructed via reggeon diagrams and chiral anomalies, contains the Critical Pomeron and electroweak symmetry breaking is produced, by sextet pions. Cosmic ray phenomena suggest large cross-section effects will be seen at the LHC, in particular, involving the pomeron. The sextet sector embeds, uniquely,...
متن کاملThe Physics of a Sextet Quark Sector∗
Electroweak symmetry breaking can be a consequence of color sextet quark chiral symmetry breaking, with sextet pions producing the longitudinal components of the electroweak vector bosons. If so, a special solution of QCD is involved, for which the high-energy S-Matrix can be constructed “semiperturbatively” via the chiral anomaly and reggeon diagrams. An infra-red fixed point and the starting ...
متن کاملColor octet scalars and high pT four-jet events at the LHC
If the scalar sector contains colored fields, there are two basic cases—either the scalars can couple to fermions or they cannot. If their gauge quantum numbers forbid couplings to fermions, then in order to enable the new scalars to decay they must be in a real representation of the color gauge group, which allows a cubic coupling in the scalar potential. The lowest dimensional real representa...
متن کاملOctetonium at the LHC
Several models of new physics, such as grand unified theories, Pati-Salam models, chiral color models, etc., predict the existence of an SU(2)L doublet of color-octet scalars (COS). In the Manohar-Wise model, the Yukawa couplings of the COS are assumed to be consistent with Minimal Flavor Violation ensuring constraints from flavor physics are satisfied even for relatively light scalars. In this...
