Masses of W and Z Bosons without Higgs
A Lagrangian of electroweak interactions without Higgs is used to study the contributions of quarks and leptons to the masses of the W and the Z bosons. It is shown that the SU(2) × U(1) symmetry is broken by both fermion masses and axial-vector components of the intermediate bosons. The masses of the W and the Z bosons are obtained to be m2W = 1 2 g2m2t and m 2 Z = ρm 2 W/cos θW with ρ ≃ 1. Tw...
متن کاملA new method to distinguish hadronically decaying boosted Z bosons from W bosons using the ATLAS detector
The distribution of particles inside hadronic jets produced in the decay of boosted W and Z bosons can be used to discriminate such jets from the continuum background. Given that a jet has been identified as likely resulting from the hadronic decay of a boosted W or Z boson, this paper presents a technique for further differentiating Z bosons from W bosons. The variables used are jet mass, jet ...
متن کاملDirect search for charged higgs bosons in decays of top quarks.
We present a search for charged Higgs bosons in decays of pair-produced top quarks in pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. With no evidence for signal, we exclude most regions of the ( M(H+/-),tan(beta)) parameter space where the decay t--> H(+)b has a branching fraction >0.36 and B(H+/--->tau(nu)(tau)) is large.
متن کاملDirect Determination of the CKM Matrix from Decays of W Bosons and Top Quarks at High Energy e+e− Colliders
At proposed high energy linear ee colliders a large number of W bosons and top quarks will be produced. We evaluate the potential precision to which the decay branching ratios into the various quark species can be measured, implying also the determination of the respective CKM matrix elements. Crucial is the identification of the individual quark flavours, which can be achieved independent of Q...
متن کاملZ ′ Bosons , the NuTeV Anomaly , and the Higgs Boson Mass
Fits to the precision electroweak data that include the NuTeV measurement are considered in family universal, anomaly free U(1) extensions of the Standard Model. In data sets from which the hadronic asymmetries are excluded, some of the Z ′ models can double the predicted value of the Higgs boson mass, from ∼ 60 to ∼ 120 GeV, removing the tension with the LEP II lower bound, while also modestly...
