Top–Quark Production and Flavor Physics—The Talk†
نویسنده
چکیده
Because of the top quark’s very large mass, about 175 GeV, it now provides the best window into flavor physics. Thus, pair–production of top quarks at the Tevatron Collider is the most incisive probe of this physics until the Large Hadron Collider turns on in the next century. In this talk I discuss how moments of the tt invariant mass distribution can be used to distinguish among standard and alternative mechanisms of tt production.

The Significance of the Heavy Top Quark
Experiment shows that the top quark is far heavier than the other elementary fermions. This finding has stimulated research on theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking that include physics beyond the standard model. Efforts to accommodate a heavy top quark within existing frameworks have revealed constraints on model-building. Other investigations have started from the premise that ...
متن کاملSome Phenomenology of the Top Quark with Non-standard Couplings ‡
In this talk I will discuss possible new physics associated with the top quark. We use higher dimension effective operators to represent the new physics and examine constraints on the operators from the phenomenology they predicted. ‡ Based on a talk presented at the International Symposium on Heavy Flavor and Electroweak Theory, 16-19 August, 1995, Beijing, China. † Permanent address
متن کاملTop Quark Physics at the ILC: Methods and Meanings
The measurement of top-quark production and decay at the International Linear Collider (ILC) will provide precision access to properties of the top quark, as well as to multiple signals of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recently, a strong case has been made for study of top-quark production at the ILC [1]. Scans at both threshold for tt̄ production, and in the continuum, provide an opportuni...

متن کاملTop Quark Physics: Summary
This talk summarizes recent progress in top quark physics studies for high energy linear electron-positron colliders as presented at the LCWS2000 Workshop at Fermilab. New results were presented for top pair production at threshold and in the continuum, as well as for top production at γγ colliders.
