Top-Quark Decay Via the Anomalous Coupling t̄cγ at Hadron Colliders
نویسنده
چکیده
We determine the constraints on the anomalous top-quark coupling associated with the flavor-changing neutral current vertex t̄cγ from the limits on the b-quark rare decay b → sγ and non-standard top-quark decays. Based on these constraints, we discuss the experimental observability of the rare decay mode t → cγ, both at the Fermilab Tevatron with a luminosity-upgrade and at the LHC.

Top-Quark Decay Via Flavor-Changing Neutral Currents at Hadron Colliders
We study low energy experimental constraints on an anomalous top-quark coupling associated with the flavor-changing neutral current vertex Zt̄c. In view of these constraints, we discuss the experimental observability of the induced rare decay mode t → Zc, both at the Fermilab Tevatron (with the Main Injector or a luminosity-upgrade) and at the LHC.
متن کاملSingle Top Quark Production via FCNC Couplings at Hadron Colliders
We calculate single top–quark production at hadron colliders via the chromo–magnetic flavor–changing neutral current couplings t̄cg and t̄ug. We find that the strength for the anomalous t̄cg (t̄ug) coupling may be probed to κc/Λ = 0.092 TeV −1 (κu/Λ = 0.026 TeV ) at the Tevatron with 2 fb of data and κc/Λ = 0.013 TeV −1 (κu/Λ = 0.0061 TeV) at the LHC with 10 fb of data. The two couplings may be dis...
متن کاملDirect Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders as a Probe of New Physics
We examine the effect of an anomalous flavor changing chromomagnetic moment which allows direct top quark production (two partons combining into an unaccompanied single top quark in the schannel) at hadron colliders. We consider both t-c-g and t-u-g couplings. We find that the anomalous charm quark coupling parameter κc/Λ can be measured down to .06 TeV (.009 TeV) at the Tevatron with the Main ...
متن کاملSpin properties of top quark pairs produced at hadron colliders
We discuss the spin properties of top quark pairs produced at hadron colliders at next-to-leading order in the coupling constant αs of the strong interaction. Specifically we present, for some decay channels, results for differential angular distributions that are sensitive to tt̄ spin correlations. PACS number(s): 12.38.Bx, 13.88.+e, 14.65.Ha
متن کاملWeak Interactions in Top-Quark Pair Production at Hadron Colliders: An Update
Weak corrections for top-quark pair production at hadron colliders are revisited. Predictions for collider energies of 8 TeV, adopted to the present LHC run, and for 14 TeV, presumably relevant for the next round of LHC experiments, are presented. Kinematic regions with large momentum transfer are identified, where the corrections become large and may lead to strong distortions of differential ...
