چکیده
We present a measurement of the total decay width of the top quark using events with top-antitop quark pair candidates reconstructed in the final state with one charged lepton and four or more hadronic jets. We use the full Tevatron run II data set of sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions recorded by the CDF II detector. The top quark mass and the mass of the hadronically decaying W boson are reconstructed for each event and compared with distributions derived from simulated signal and background samples to extract the top quark width (Γtop) and the energy scale of the calorimeter jets with in situ calibration. For a top quark mass Mtop=172.5 GeV/c2, we find 1.10<Γtop<4.05 GeV at 68% confidence level, which is in agreement with the standard model expectation of 1.3 GeV and is the most precise direct measurement of the top quark width to date.

Combination of Colour Favoured and Colour
In this research we described the effective Hamiltonian theory and applied this theory to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2) and QCD penguin (Q3,…,6) c quark decay rates. We calculated the decay rates of semileptonic and hadronic of charm quark in the effective Hamiltonian theory. We investigated the decay rates of D meson decays according to Spectator Quark Model (SQM) for the calculati...
متن کاملHelicity Amplitudes for Single-Top Production
Single top quark production at hadron colliders allows a direct measurement of the top quark charged current coupling. We present the complete tree-level helicity amplitudes for four processes involving the production and semileptonic decay of a single top quark: W -gluon fusion, flavor excitation, s-channel production and W associated production. For the first three processes we study the qual...
متن کاملElectroweak Corrections to the Top Quark Decay
We have calculated the one-loop electroweak corrections to the decay t→ bW, including the counterterm for the CKM matrix elements Vtb. Previous calculations used an incorrect δVtb that led to a gauge dependent amplitude. However, since the contribution stemming from δVtb is small, those calculations only underestimate the width by roughly one part in 10. PACS number(s): 12.15.Lk, 11.10.Gh, 12.1...
متن کاملThe t → cH decay width in the standard model.
The t → cH decay width in the standard model. Abstract The t → cH decay width has been computed in the standard model with a light Higgs boson. The corresponding branching fraction has been found to be in the range B(t → cH) ≃ 10 −13 ÷ 10 −14 for M Z ∼ < m H ∼ < 2M W. Our results correct the numerical evaluation usually quoted in the literature. The one-loop flavor-changing transitions, t → cg,...

In this research, we are going to study the QCD penguin structure and calculate the second order approximation. The amplitude of decays related to QCD penguin in the quark model up to the first and second orders were calculated. We calculated the amplitude of QCD penguin on lowest order of αs for the first order of the decay processes b→qkg→qkqiqj and for the second order of the decay processes...

We present the complete calculation of the top-quark decay width at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD, including next-to-leading electroweak corrections as well as finite bottom quark mass and W boson width effects. In particular, we also show the first results of the fully differential decay rates for the top-quark semileptonic decay t → W(+)(l(+)ν)b at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD....
