Scale Setting in Top Quark Decays
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the O(β0α 2 s) QCD corrections to the Standard Model decay t → W+b as well as the non standard decay t → H+b. We then use our results to compute the BLM scale for these decays, and study the dependence of the BLM scale on the mass of the boson in the decay. We find that the BLM procedure gives extremely small scales when top decays into heavy bosons. When we try to improve the BLM scale by reexpressing rates as a functions of the top quark running mass, we find the BLM scale exhibits unnatural dependence on the boson mass, casting doubts on the applicability of the BLM procedure to these processes.

Effective Hamiltonian of Electroweak Penguin for Hadronic b Quark Decays
In this research we work with the effective Hamiltonian and the quark model. We investigate the decay rates of matter-antimatter of quark. We describe the effective Hamiltonian theory and apply this theory to the calculation of current-current ( ), QCD penguin ( ), magnetic dipole ( ) and electroweak penguin ( ) decay rates. The gluonic penguin structure of hadronic decays is studied thro...

This research, works with the effective Hamiltonian and the quark model. Using, the decay rates of matter-antimatter of b quark was investigated. We described the effective Hamiltonian theory which was applied to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2), QCD penguin (Q3,…,6), magnetic dipole (Q8) and electroweak penguin (Q7,…,10) decay rates. The gluonic penguin structure of hadronic decays ...

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...
متن کاملMeasurements of Top Quarks Produced in Pairs at D0
Top quarks are produced in pairs via the strong interaction. At the Tevatron, operating at 1.96 TeV in Run II, the expected production rate of tt pairs is 6.8±0.6 pb @ mt=175 GeV/c . Roughly 85% arise from qq interactions, while the remaining 15% are created by gluon fusion. As of February 4, 2007, 2.05 fb of data have been recorded by the D0 experiment. To study the properties of the top quark...
متن کاملSgoldstino events in top decays at the LHC
We study top-quark decays in models with light sgoldstinos. The off-diagonal entries in the squark mass matrices can lead to FCNC top two-body decays into a sgold-stino and a c (or u) quark. We compute the rates for these decays and discuss the corresponding signatures that could manifest the presence of sgoldstinos in top decays at the LHC. We expect that a supersymmetry breaking parameter √ F...
