Event shape criteria for single - lepton top signals
Single-lepton plus jets signals from t ¯ t production at hadron colliders generally give more spherically symmetrical events than the principal backgrounds from W production. We show that sphericity and aplanarity criteria, applied to lepton plus neutrino plus four jet final states at the Fermilab Tevatron p¯ p collider, help to discriminate; they can be used either to validate an eventual top ...
متن کاملFurther ways to distinguish single - lepton top quark signals from background at the Tevatron
Further kinematical variables are suggested, in which to compare the putative leptonic W plus 4-jet top quark signal with the QCD background. We show that the lepton rapidity asymmetry, the p T-ranking of the tagged b-jet, the double-tag probability, the reconstructed t + ¯ t invariant mass, and the lepton energy in the parent top quark rest-frame, all display interesting differences between si...
متن کاملQuark 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...
متن کاملProbing Top-quark Couplings at Lepton and Photon Colliders
The Standard Model (SM) has provided a remarkably successful description of almost all available data involving the strong and electroweak interactions. In particular, the discovery of the top-quark at the Tevatron with a mass mt = 173:5 5:2 GeV, close to that anticipated by ts to precision electroweak data is a great triumph. Nonetheless, the SM leaves many fundamental questions unanswered, an...
متن کاملTop-quark couplings to TeV resonances at future lepton colliders
We study the processes WLWL → tt̄ and WLZL → tb̄ (t̄b) at future lepton colliders as probes of the couplings of the top quark to resonances at the TeV scale. We consider the cases in which the dominant low energy feature of a strongly interacting electroweak symmetry breaking sector is either a scalar or a vector resonance with mass near 1 TeV. We find that future lepton colliders with high energy...
