Weak-Scale Scalars and Rare Top Decays
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the decays t → cγ and cZ 0 in the Standard Model with an extra scalar doublet and no discrete symmetry preventing tree-level flavour changing neutral currents. The Yukawa couplings of the new scalars are assumed to be proportional to fermion masses, evading bounds on FCNC's from the light quark sector. These rare top decays may be visible at the SSC.

Flavor-changing interactions mediated by scalars at the weak scale.
The quark and lepton mass matrices possess approximate flavor symmetries. Several results follow if the interactions of new scalars possess these approximate symmetries. Present experimental bounds allow these exotic scalars to have a weak scale mass. The Glashow-Weinberg criterion is rendered unnecessary. Finally, rare leptonic B meson decays provide powerful probes of these scalars, especiall...
متن کاملRare K Decays ∗
The rare decays of the K meson have had a long tradition as a laboratory for testing the symmetry properties of the weak interactions, and the manner in which these symmetries are broken by higher order effects. Present–day interest is focussed on decays that are suppressed by CP–symmetry or GIM symmetry. Such decays, in the standard theory, are sensitive to effects of the virtual top quark, an...
متن کاملWeak Decays beyond Leading Logarithms
We review the present status of QCD corrections to weak decays beyond the leading logarithmic approximation including particle-antiparticle mixing and rare and CP violating decays. After presenting the basic formalism for these calculations we discuss in detail the effective hamiltonians for all decays for which the next-to-leading corrections are known. Subsequently, we present the phenomenolo...
متن کاملQuark Mixing, CP Violation and Rare Decays After the Top Quark Discovery
We review the highlights of quark mixing, particle–antiparticle mixing, CP violation and rare Kand B-decays in the Standard Model. The top quark discovery, the precise measurement of its mass, the improved knowledge of the couplings Vcb and Vub, and the calculations of NLO short distance QCD corrections improved considerably the predictions for various decay rates, the determination of the coup...
متن کاملflavor-changing neutral current decays in the MSSM without R−parity
Semi-inclusive decays, qh → ql Xjj, are studied in the framework of the minimal supersymmetric standard model without R−parity, where qh (ql) are the second or third (first or second) generation quarks with the same charge and Xjj is a vector meson formed by qj q̄j. The study is focused on the contributions of sfermions with mf̃ < mtop. In this mass region, CP asymmetries in top decays can be ind...
