Direct Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders as a Probe of New Physics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the effect of an anomalous flavor changing chromomagnetic moment which allows direct top quark production (two partons combining into an unaccompanied single top quark in the schannel) at hadron colliders. We consider both t-c-g and t-u-g couplings. We find that the anomalous charm quark coupling parameter κc/Λ can be measured down to .06 TeV (.009 TeV) at the Tevatron with the Main Injector upgrade(LHC). The anomalous up quark coupling parameter κu/Λ can be measured to .02 TeV (.003 TeV) at the Tevatron(LHC).

Top quark physics in hadron collisions
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle observed to date. Its large mass makes the top quark an ideal laboratory to test predictions of perturbation theory concerning heavy quark production at hadron colliders. The top quark is also a powerful probe for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. In addition, the top quark mass is a crucial parameter for scrutinizing ...
متن کاملAngular correlations in top quark pair production and decay at hadron colliders.
We show how to observe sizable angular correlations between the decay products of the top quark and those of the anti-top quark in top quark pair production and decay at hadron colliders. These correlations result from the large asymmetry in the rate for producing like-spin versus unlike-spin top quark pairs provided the appropriate spin axes are used. The effects of new physics at production o...
متن کاملElectroweak corrections to top-quark pair production in quark–antiquark annihilation
Top-quark physics plays an important rôle at hadron colliders such as the Tevatron at Fermilab or the LHC at CERN. Given the planned precision at these colliders, precise theoretical predictions are required. In this paper we present the complete electroweak corrections to QCD-induced top-quark pair production in quark–antiquark annihilation. In particular we provide compact analytic expression...
متن کاملThreshold Resummation Effects in Direct Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders
We investigate the threshold-enhanced QCD corrections to the cross sections for direct top quark productions induced by model-independent flavor changing neutral current couplings at hadron colliders. We use the soft-collinear effective theory to describe the incoming massless partons and use the heavy quark effective theory to treat the top quark. Then we construct the flavor changing operator...
متن کاملTop Quark Production at Hadron Colliders: an Overview
The study of the properties of the top quark is one of the main goals of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) physics program. The experimental precision expected at the LHC requires the calculation of several top-quark related observables beyond leading order in the strong coupling constant. In this work we briefly review the status of the theoretical predictions for the top-quark production proces...
