تولید کوارک تاپ منفرد به عنوان قیدی برای بوزونW
The existence of a new massive charged gauge boson, known as W’, is proposed by many new physics scenarios. When W’ decays to tb, the final state is very similar to the final state of the s-channel single top production, where W boson is the off-shell mediator to produce the top and bottom quarks. If W’ exists, it can affect the cross section of the SM s-channel single top production, so measur...
متن کاملSingle Top Quarks at the Tevatron
After many years searching for electroweak production of top quarks [1], the Tevatron collider experiments have now moved from obtaining first evidence for single top quark production to an impressive array of measurements that test the standard model in several directions. This paper describes measurements of the single top quark cross sections, limits set on the CKM matrix element Vtb , searc...
متن کاملComprehensive measurements of t-channel single top-quark production
This article presents measurements of the t-channel single top-quark (t) and top-antiquark (t̄) total production cross sections σðtqÞ and σðt̄qÞ, their ratio Rt 1⁄4 σðtqÞ=σðt̄qÞ, and a measurement of the inclusive production cross section σðtqþ t̄qÞ in proton-proton collisions at ffiffi s p 1⁄4 7 TeV at the LHC. Differential cross sections for the tq and t̄q processes are measured as a function of t...

The top quark, discovered 1995 at Fermilab, is special among the quarks due to its large mass: Its lifetime is shorter than the characteristic hadronization time scale and therefore top bound states do not have time to form. From a calculational point of view this allows an immediate application of perturbation theory to top physics. Up to now top quarks have only been produced in pairs through...
متن کاملSearch for Single Top Production in ep Collisions at HERA ∗
In this talk a search for the single production of top quarks performed at the H1 experiment is presented. No evidence for anomalous top production via FCNC processes is found and limits on the anomalous magnetic coupling constant κtuγ are given.
متن کاملReview of Top Quark Properties Measurements at the Tevatron
This review summarises the top quark physics program pursued at Fermilab’s Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, operating at a centre of mass energy of 1.96 TeV, and its two collider detectors CDF and D0. More than a decade after the discovery of the top quark at the Tevatron, it remains the only place to produce top quarks and study them directly until the Large Hadron Collider at CERN starts ...
