Top Quark Polarization and Spin Correlation in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-Parity at the ILC

In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity(LHT),we study the top quark spin correlation and polarization at the International Linear Collider(ILC).We find that the top quark polarization asymmetry δP t and the left-right asymmetry δA LR can respectively reach-35% and-37.5% for s～(1/2)=500 GeV and s～(1/2)=1000 GeV via e+e-collision,which can reach the observable level at the ILC.By contrast,the spin correlation δC is smaller.The correlation behaviors of these observables at the e+e-collision and the γγ collision will be helpful to distinguish different models and test the LHT model at the ILC.     

SUSY-QCD Effects in Top Quark Pair Production in Association with a Gluon at the ILC

Given the null results of searches for new physics at the LHC, we investigate the one-loop effects SUSY QCD in the process e⁺e^-→ttg at the ILC in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). We find that the relative SUSY-QCD corrections to the cross section of e⁺e^-→ttg can maximally reach 6.5%(3.2%) at the ILC with √s=1000 GeV when m=313:4 GeV and m=500(1500) GeV.     

RHIC和LHC能区两粒子关联函数研究

应用多源热模型研究了相对论性重离子对撞机（RHIC）上PHENIX合作组测得的每核子对质心能量√sNN=200 GeV的氘-金（d+Au）碰撞中快度长程方位角关联,和大型强子对撞机（LHC）上CMS合作组测得的质心能量√s=0.9,2.36,7 TeV的质子质子（p+p）碰撞中高多重数短程赝快度关联,在误差范围内模型结果很好地重现了实验数据。用4个参数分析了长程方位角关联,结果表明,参数可以清楚地显示出脊结构的变化趋势,说明脊结构与集体效应、流体力学流效应、粒子对的横动量及信号等有关。用3个参数分析了小系统高多重数短程赝快度关联,结果表明,参数σ和c₃与能量相关,能量越大,两粒子越靠近,关联越强。The multi-source thermal model is used in this paper to analyze the long-range azimuth correlation in deutron-gold (d+Au) collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair √sNN=200 GeV measured by the PHENIX Collaboration at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC), and the short-range pseudorapidity correlation in high multiplicity event in proton-proton (p+p) collisions at center-of-mass energy √s=0.9, 2.36, 7 TeV measured by the CMS Collaboration at the large hadron collider (LHC). The modeling results are in approximately agreement with the experimental data in error ranges. Four parameters are used in the analysis of long-range azimuth correlation, which show that the parameters describe the change trend of ridge structure. The ridge structure is related to the collective effect, hydrodynamic flow effect, transverse momentum and signal of particle pair, and so forth. Three parameters are used in the analysis of the short-range pseudorapidity correlation in high multiplicity event in small system, which show that the parameters σ and c3 are related to collision energy. Large collision energy results in strong correlation due to close distance between particles.     

Top pair production in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity

In the framework of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity,we study the top pair production at the next generation colliders like LHC and ILC.We find that the order O(αs) corrections to the standard model top pair production cross section at LHC can be very small and the magnitude is below 1%.However,the magnitude of corrections to the standard model top pair production rate at ILC may be over 5% for reasonable values'of the parameters.Besides this,the corrections to the asymmetry ALR(tt) may be more sizable. Therefore,the top pair production at ILC may serve as a probe of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity,especially the asymmetry ALR(tt).     

The Signatures of the Neutral Top-Pion at the NLC and the Tevatron in Topcolor-Assisted MWTC Model

The neutral top-pion π_t⁰ can couple to the gluons and the photons through the top quark triangle-loop. we calculate the corrections of the neutral top-pion π_t⁰ to the tt production cross section in topcolor-assisted multiscale walking technicolor model. We find that, for a heavy neutral top-pion, the corrections are quite significant. For m_t = 175 GeV, 5 GeV ≤ m_t¹ ≤ 20 GeV and M_πt = 350 GeV, the relative correction Δσ/σ₀ is larger than 10% which might be observed at a high-luminosity Tevatron. We further estimate the production cross section of π_t⁰ at the NLC experiment. We find that the production rate is significantly large. The neutral top-pion π_t⁰ may be detected in future e⁺e^- linear collider experiments.     

Dilepton from Passage of Jets Through Spherical Expanding QGP

We calculate the large mass dileptons production from the jet-dilepton conversion in spherical expanding quark-gluon plasma at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies. The jet-dilepton production exceeds the thermal and Drell-Yan dilepton production in the large mass region of 4.5 GeV< M< 5.5 GeV and 7 GeV< M< 9 GeV in central Pb+Pb collisions at √s_NN=2.76 TeV and 5.5 TeV, respectively. We present the solution of (1+3)-dimensional fluid hydrodynamics with spherical symmetry. We find that the transverse flow of the QGP leads to a rapid cooling of the fire ball and suppression of the jet-dilepton conversion. The suppression is also evident at intermediate and large mass at LHC energies. The energy loss of the jet-dilepton conversion is concerned.     

Global Electroweak Fit and Its Implication for Z'

Among the Z-pole observables, AFB^（0,b） and Ae display moderately large standard deviations from the Standard Model predictions. This result can be interpreted as independent experimental evidence for new physics beyond the SM, even if the 125 GeV Higgs-like boson at the LHC is ultimately confirmed as the SM Higgs. A recalculated global electroweak fit with a model-independent Z＇ shows that Z＇ can simultaneously suppress AFB（0,b） and Ae at the Z-pole, and reduce the largest deviation from 2.6σ in SM to 1.0σ in our scenario. The Z＇ fitting results also support a negative S parameter.     

Model-independent determination of the top Yukawa coupling from LHC and ILC

We show how a measurement of the process pp→tt̄H⁰+X at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and a measurement of the Higgs boson branching ratios BR(H⁰→bb̄) and BR(H⁰→W⁺W^-) at a future linear electron positron collider (ILC) can be combined to extract a value of the top quark Yukawa coupling in a model-independent way. We find that for masses with 120 GeV/c²<m_H<200 GeV/c² a measurement precision of 15% including systematic uncertainties can be achieved for integrated luminosities of 300 fb^-1 at the LHC and 500 fb^-1 at the ILC at a centre-of-mass energy of 350 GeV.     

Dynamical correlation functions of the quadratic coupling spin-Boson model

The spin-boson model with quadratic coupling is studied using the bosonic numerical renormalization group method.We focus on the dynamical auto-correlation functions C_O(ω), with the operator taken as σ_x, σ_z, and X, respectively. In the weak-coupling regime α α_c, these functions show power law ω-dependence in the small frequency limit, with the powers 1 + 2s, 1 + 2s, and s, respectively. At the critical point α = α_c of the boson-unstable quantum phase transition, the critical exponents y_O of these correlation functions are obtained as yσ_x= yσ_z= 1-2s and yX=-s, respectively. Here s is the bath index and X is the boson displacement operator. Close to the spin flip point, the high frequency peak of Cσ_x(ω) is broadened significantly and the line shape changes qualitatively, showing enhanced dephasing at the spin flip point.     

Top quark asymmetry and Wjj excess at CDF from gauged flavor symmetry

We show that the scalar sector needed for fermion mass generation when the flavor symmetry of the standard model is maximally gauged can consistently explain two anomalies reported recently by the CDF Collaboration-the forward-backward asymmetry in tt pair production and the dijet invariant mass in the Wjj channel. A pair of nearly degenerate scalar doublets with masses in the range 150-200 GeV explain these anomalies, with additional scalars predicted in the mass range 100-400 GeV. Consistency of such low scale flavor physics with flavor-changing processes is shown, and expectations for the LHC are outlined.

在铁磁/非磁金属异质结中,界面处的Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用会诱导诸如磁性斯格明子等手性磁畴壁结构的形成.当巡游电子通过手性磁畴壁结构时,会获得一个贝里相位,而相应的贝里曲率则等效于一个外磁场,它将诱导额外的霍尔效应,即拓扑霍尔效应.拓扑霍尔效应是当前磁性斯格明子和自旋电子学研究领域的热点之一.本文由实空间贝里相位出发,简要介绍了拓扑霍尔效应的物理机制;然后着重讨论了铁磁/非磁金属异质结中的拓扑霍尔效应,包括磁性多层膜中和MnGa/重金属双层膜中的拓扑霍尔效应.这两种结构都可以通过改变材料的厚度、种类、生长方式等调控界面Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya相互作用,从而有效地调控磁性斯格明子和拓扑霍尔效应.     

Searches for Dark Matter via Mono-W Production in Inert Doublet Model at the LHC

The Inert Doublet Model(IDM) is one of the many beyond Standard Model scenarios with an extended scalar sector, which provide a suitable dark matter particle candidate. Dark matter associated visible particle production at high energy colliders provides a unique way to determine the microscopic properties of the dark matter particle. In this paper, we investigate that the mono-W + missing transverse energy production at the Large Hadron Collider(LHC),where W boson decay to a lepton and a neutrino. We perform the analysis for the signal of mono-W production in the IDM and the Standard Model(SM) backgrounds, and the optimized criteria employing suitable cuts are chosen in kinematic variables to maximize signal significance. We also investigate the discovery potential in several benchmark scenarios at the 14 TeV LHC. When the light Z_2 odd scalar higgs of mass is about 65 GeV, charged Higgs is in the mass range from 120 GeV to 250 GeV, it provides the best possibility with a signal significance of about 3σ at an integrated luminosity of about 3000 fb~(-1).     

Revisiting the Twist-3 Distribution Amplitudes of K Meson Within the QCD Background Field Approach

In the present paper, we investigate the kaon twist-3 distribution amplitudes (DAs) φ_p,σ^K within the QCD background field approach. The SU_f(3)-breaking effects are studied in detail under a systematical way, especially the sum rules for the moments of φ_p,σ^K are obtained by keeping all the mass terms in the s-quark propagator consistently. After adding all the uncertainties in quadrature, the first two Gegenbauler moments of φ_p,σ^K are a_K,p¹ (1 GeV) = -0.376_-0.148^+0.103, a_K,p²(1 GeV) = 0.701_-0.491^+0.481, a_K,σ¹ (1 GeV) = -0.160_-0.074^+0.051, and a_K,σ²(1 GeV) = 0.369_-0.149^+0.163, respectively. Their normalization parameters μ_K^p|1 m GeV = 1.188_-0.043^+0.039 GeV and μ_K^σ|1 m GeV = 1.021_-0.055^+0.036 GeV. A detailed discussion on the properties of φ_p,σ^K moments shows that the higher-order s-quark mass terms can indeed provide sizable contributions. Furthermore, based on the newly obtained moments, a model for the kaon twist-3 wavefunction Ψ_p,σ^K(x,k⊥) with a better end-point behavior is constructed, which shall be useful for perturbative QCD calculations. As a byproduct, we make a discussion on the properties of the pion twist-3 DAs.     

NONDIFFRACTIVE HADRON-HADRON COLLISIONS AT EXTREME EMERGIES

Based on a statistical model which successfully describes the data in energy interval √s=14 GeV to √s=540 GeV, predictions for multiplicity and rapidity distributions at √s=900 GeV, 2TeV and 40 TeV are made.     

QCD Correction to σ(e+e-→ZH→Zbb)

We study the QCD corrections to the calculated values of σ(e⁺e^-→ZH→Zbb), and find that for M_H<100 GeV, the process can be measured at the LEP energy to extract information of Higgs and the QCD corrections are negligible, namely the tree-level calculation is sufficiently aciurate for the energy range, while for M_H > 100 GeV, the Higgs-involved subprocess can only be investigated at NLC, and then the QCD correction becomes as large as 45%. For M_H > 2mt, considering the subprocess e⁺e^-→ZH→Ztt, the QCD corrections are also important and must be taken into account for the cross section evaluation.     

Alternating-current relaxation of a rotating metallic particle

Based on a first-principles approach,we establish an alternating-current(AC) relaxation theory for a rotating metallic particle with complex dielectric constant ε_α=ε_α-iσ_α/ω_0.Here εα is the real part,σ_α the conductivity,ω_0 the angular frequency of an AC electric field,and i=-1~(1/2).Our theory yields an accurate interparticle force,which is in good agreement with the existing experiment.The agreement helps to show that the relaxations of two kinds of charges,namely,surface polarized charges(described by ε_α) and free charges(corresponding to σ_α),contribute to the unusually large reduction in the attracting interparticle force.This theory can be adopted to determine the relaxation time of dynamic particles in various fields.     

Radiative Corrections to e~+e~-→ Zh at Future Higgs Factory in the Minimal Dilaton Model

The minimal dilaton model(MDM) extends the Standard Model by one singlet scalar called dilaton and one top quark partner called t. In this work we investigate the t-induced radiative correction to the Higgs-strahlung production process e+e-→ Zh at future Higgs factory. We first present the analytical calculations in detail and show how to handle the ultraviolet divergence. Then we calculate the correction numerically by considering the constraints from precision electroweak data. We find that, for sin θL= 0.2 and mt = 1200 Ge V, the correction is 0.26% and 2.1% for (se+e)~(1/2)-= 240 Ge V, 1 Te V respectively, and a larger value can be achieved as sin θLincreases.     

Probing the TC2 model via Production of Top Quark Pairs at Tevatron and LHC

The topcolour-assisted technicolour （TC2） model is an interesting dynamical theory among the various new physics models. We cMculate the total tt cross section and the relative correction of the TC2 model to the cross section at Tevatron Run Ⅱ and LHC. At the Tevatron Run Ⅱ, the cross section predicted by the standard model （SM） is consistent with the experimental data, and in most parameter spaces of the TC2 model, the relative correction of the TC2 model to the cross section is too small to be detectable. We find that the tt cross section is more sensitive to the parameters of the TC2 model at the LHC and the relative correction of the TC2 model to the cross section is over 10% in general. Such a value of the relative correction should be large enough to be detectable at the LHC. Therefore, it is promising to find the clue of the TC2 model via the tt production at the LHC.     

Measurement of spin correlation in tt production using a matrix element approach

We determine the fraction of tt events with spin correlation, assuming that the spin of the top quark is either correlated with the spin of the top antiquark as predicted by the standard model or is uncorrelated. For the first time we use a matrix-element-based approach to study tt spin correlation. We use tt → W+ b W- b → ?+ νb?- ν b final states produced in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, where ? denotes an electron or a muon. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb(-1) and were collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The result agrees with the standard model prediction. We exclude the hypothesis that the spins of the tt are uncorrelated at the 97.7% C.L.     

Search for new phenomena in tt events with large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s] = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for new phenomena in tt events with large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The measurement is based on 1.04 fb(-1) of data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Contributions to this final state may arise from a number of standard model extensions. The results are interpreted in terms of a model where new top-quark partners are pair produced and each decay to an on-shell top (or antitop) quark and a long-lived undetected neutral particle. The data are found to be consistent with standard model expectations. A limit at 95% confidence level is set excluding a cross section times branching ratio of 1.1 pb for a top-partner mass of 420 GeV and a neutral particle mass less than 10 GeV. In a model of exotic fourth generation quarks, top-partner masses are excluded up to 420 GeV and neutral particle masses up to 140 GeV.
