CP Violation in the 3 Jet and 4 Jet Decays of the Z Boson at GigaZ
نویسنده
چکیده
We review CP-violating effects in Z → 3 jet and Z → 4 jet decays, assuming the presence of CP-violating effective Zbb̄G and Zbb̄GG couplings. Longitudinal beam polarization is included in the studies. We propose a direct search for such CP-violating couplings by using various CP-odd observables. The data of a future linear collider running at the Z-resonance in the so-called GigaZ option should give significant information on the couplings. Finally we show that stringent bounds on the mass of excited b quarks can be derived if appropriate couplings are of a size characteristic of a strong interaction.

متن کاملTriple - Product Spin - Momentum Correlations in Polarized Z Decays to Three Jets ∗
We discuss hard rescattering effects that can be measured using CP-even, T N-odd triple-product observables in polarized Z decays to three jets. We show that the standard model contributions, from both QCD and electroweak rescattering, are very small. Thus these measurements are potentially sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. We investigate one such contribution which involves a new...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Production in Z Decays
We present studies of 3-jet nal states from hadronic Z decays recorded by the SLD experiment. A comparison of the strong couplings of light, c, and b quarks is made using 3-jet rates. We have performed a detailed study of ee ! b bg nal states, in which the quark, antiquark, and gluon jets are identi ed. The gluon energy spectrum, measured over the full kinematic range, is consistent with the pr...
متن کاملCP violating couplings in Z → 3 jet decays revisited
Possible CP violating effects in Z → 3 jet decays are investigated. The analysis assumes the presence of CP violating Zq ¯ qG couplings. The contribution of these couplings to the Z → q ¯ qG decay width is calculated for different cut algorithms, including nonzero quark masses. Various CP–odd observables are discussed and it is shown that their sensitivity can change significantly if one uses n...
متن کاملDecays of the MSSM Higgs Bosons with Explicit CP ViolationS
We study Higgs boson decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model where the tree-level CP invariance of the Higgs potential is explicitly broken by loop eeects of soft CP-violating Yukawa interactions related to scalar quarks of the third generation. The scalar-pseudoscalar mixing among two neutral CP-even Higgs bosons and one CP-odd Higgs boson due to explicit CP violation modiies their...
