Quark and lepton masses from top loops
Assuming that the leptons and quarks other than top are massless at tree level, we show that their masses may be induced by loops involving the top quark. As a result, the generic features of the fermion mass spectrum arise from combinations of loop factors. Explicitly, we construct a renormalizable model involving a few new particles, which leads to 1-loop bottom and tau masses, a 2-loop charm...

Theoretical results are presented for top quarks produced in annihilation of polarized electrons on positrons. Polarization studies for t ¯ t pairs near threshold are free from hadronization ambiguities. This is due to the short lifetime of the top quark. Semileptonic decays are discussed as well as their applications in studying polarization dependent processes involving top quarks. The Green ...
متن کاملHeavy flavor contributions to the Drell-Yan cross section.
We investigate the effect of heavy flavor contributions to vector boson (V = γ, Z, W) production which is described by the Drell-Yan mechanism. All reactions with bottom and top quarks (Q i = b, t) in the final state, like q 1 + ¯ q 2 → V + Q 1 + ¯ Q 2 and g + g → V + Q 1 + ¯ Q 2 , are considered. This study also includes the virtual contributions containing heavy flavor loops which were not ta...
متن کاملThe neutral Higgs boson masses of MSSM at one-loop level in explicit CP violation scenario
The neutral Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) in explicit CP violation scenario is investigated at the one-loop level. Within the context of the effective potential formalism, the masses of the neutral Higgs bosons are calculated at the one-loop level by taking into account the contributions of the following loops of ordinary particles and superpartners: top quark...
متن کاملRunaway quarks.
When heavy nuclei collide, a quark-gluon plasma is formed. The plasma is subject to strong electric field due to the charge of the colliding nuclei. The electric field can influence the behavior of the quark-gluon plasma. In particular, we might observe an increased number of quarks moving in the direction of that field, as we do in the standard electron-ion plasma. In this paper we show that t...
