A vector-like heavy quark in the Littlest Higgs model
نویسنده
چکیده
The Littlest Higgs model contains a new vector-like heavy quark in the up sector. There are two interesting features of its existence. One is that it extends the 3 × 3 CKM matrix in the Standard Model to a 4 × 3 matrix and the other is that it allows Z-mediated flavor changing neutral currents at tree level in the up sector but not in the down sector. We examine a few of possible windows in which the Z-mediated flavor changing neutral currents in the Littlest Higgs Model can be tested.

Single production of the vector-like top quark in the littlest Higgs model at TeV energy e−γ colliders
The new colored vector-like heavy fermion T is a crucial prediction in little Higgs models, which plays a key role in breaking the electroweak symmetry. The littlest Higgs model is the most economical one among various little Higgs models. In the context of the littlest Higgs model, we study single production of the new heavy vector-like quark via eγ collisions and discuss the possibility of de...
متن کاملTop quark chromomagnetic dipole moment in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity
The littlest Higgs model with T-parity, which is called LHT model, predicts the existence of the new particles, such as heavy top quark, heavy gauge bosons, and mirror fermions. We calculate the one-loop contributions of these new particles to the top quark chromomagnetic dipole moment (CMDM) ∆K. We find that the contribution of the LHT model is one order of magnitude smaller than the standard ...
متن کاملPhenomenology of the Littlest Higgs with T-Parity
Little Higgs models offer an interesting approach to weakly coupled electroweak symmetry breaking without fine tuning. The original little Higgs models were plagued by strong constraints from electroweak precision data which required a fine tuning to be reintroduced. An economical solution to this problem is to introduce a discrete symmetry (analogous to R-parity of SUSY) called T-parity. T-par...

The little Higgs models typically contain a new vector-like top quark T , which plays a key role in breaking the electroweak symmetry. In the context of the littlest Higgs (LH) model, we study single production of this kind of new particle via the process ep → eb → νeT in the future linac-ring type ep collider (LC ⊗ LHC). We find that the production cross section is in the range of 1.2× 10— 0.4...
متن کاملT-quark Effects in Top Pair Production Associated with A Higgs Boson at Linear Colliders in Little Higgs Model
As partners of the top quark, new heavy T-quarks are necessarily predicted in little Higgs models in order to cancel the quadratic divergence of the Higgs mass caused by the top quark. In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, the partner with even T-parity can mix with the top quark and cause some effects in top quark processes. We examine such effects in the process ee → tt̄h...
