Production of Top-Pions Associated with W Boson at Next Generation γγ Colliders

In the context of topcolor-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, we study the charged and neutral top-pions production process γγ →W＋ ∏t-∏t^0. We find that the production cross section is larger than that of the process γγ→ W＋ H-H in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. With reasonable values of the parameters in the TC2 model, the cross section can reach the level of a few fb. Furthermore, the flavor-changing （FC） decay mode ∏t^0 → te^- is the best channel to detect the neutral top-pion due to the clean SM background. With a large number of events and the clean background, the neutral top-pion should be observable at future linear colliders operating in γγ mode at the TeV energy scale.     

Radiative leptonic decay Bc^-→τ^vτ^-γ in the standard model and the two-Higgs-doublet model

We analyze the radiative leptonic Bc decay Bc^-→τ^vτ^-γ in the Standard Model and the two- Higgs-doublet model using the non-relativistic constituent quark model. The results confirm that this channel is experimentally promising in view of the large number of Bc mesons which are expected to be produced at future hadron facilities. We also find that this decay is sensitive to the parameters of the two-Higgs-doublet model, and it can be tested in future experiments.     

Single Production of Charged Top-Pions at High Energy Linear e+e- Colliders

The dominant decay modes of charged top-pions (π±t ) are tb or ~b. We consider the single production ofcharged top-pions in association with a top quark via e+ e- annihilation and calculate the production cross section of theprocesses e+ e- → t-bπ+ (tb-π-) at the leading order. We find that it can reach 1.2 fb with reasonable parameter values.The charged top-pions may be detected via the channel tbπ± in the future high energy e+ e- colliders.     

Single Production of Top Quark via e-γ Collision in Left-Right Twin Higgs Model

In the context of the left-right twin Higgs （LRTH） model, we fist study single production of the standard model （SM） top quark via e-γ collisions. We find that the corrections of the LRTH model to the cross section of the process e-γ→vebt might be observed only for f ≤750 GeV and the heavy top quark mass scale M ≥500 GeV in future high energy linear e^＋e^- collider （LC） experiment with the center-of-mass （CM） energy √s = 500 GeV and a yearly integrated luminosity of ￡ = 100 fb^-1. We also consider single production of the heavy top quark T via e-γ collisions. Our numerical results show that the possible signals of the heavy top quark T might be observed via the decay channel T →Ф^＋b→tbb in future LC experiment with √s = 3 TeV and ￡ = 500 fb^-1.     

Radiative leptonic decay B_c~-→τ~-_τγ in the standard model and the two-Higgs-doublet model

We analyze the radiative leptonic Bc decay Bc-→τ-νˉτγ in the Standard Model and the twoHiggs-doublet model using the non-relativistic constituent quark model.The results confirm that this channel is experimentally promising in view of the large number of Bc mesons which are expected to be produced at future hadron facilities.We also find that this decay is sensitive to the parameters of the two-Higgs-doublet model,and it can be tested in future experiments.     

Single Production of Heavy Top Quark from Three-Site Higgsless Model

We consider single production of the heavy top quark T predicted by the three-site Higgsless model in future high energy collider experiments, such as the high energy linear e＋ e- collider （ILC）, the linear-ring type ep collider （THERA）, and the CERN Large Hadron Collider （LHC）. Our numerical results show that the possible signals of the heavy top quark T might be detected via the subproeess qb → q＇T at the LHC.     

Mono-top signature from stop decay at the HE-LHC

Searching for the top squark(stop)is a key task to test the naturalness of SUSY.Different from stop pair production,single stop production relies on its electroweak properties and can provide some unique signatures.Following the single production process pp→t^~1X(~)1→tX^~1⁰X^~1^-,the top quark has two decay channels:leptonic channel and hadronic channel.In this paper,we probe the observability of these two channels in a simplified minimal supersymmetric standard model scenario.We find that,at the 27 TeV LHC with the integrated luminosity of L=15 ab^-1,mt^-1<1900 GeV andμ<750 GeV can be excluded at 2σthrough the leptonic mono-top channel,while m_t^-1<1200 GeV andμ<350 GeV can be excluded at 2σthrough the hadronic channel.     

Photoproduction of the Charged Top-Pions at the LHeC

The top triangle moose (TTM) model, which can be seen as the deconstructed version of the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model, predicts the existence of the charged top-pions πt± in low energy spectrum. In the context of this model, we consider photoproduction of πt± via the subprocesses γb→tπ-and γ→πt+ at the large hadron-electron collider (LHeC), in which high energy photon beams are generated by using the Compton backscatting method. We find that, as long as the charged top-pions are not too heavy, they can be abundantly produced via γb collision.     

Charged Top-Pion Production at Hadron Colliders

We studied the charged top-pion in the topcolor assisted technicolor model （TC2）. If the charged top-pions are heavy, mπt 〉 mt ＋mb, they will decay mainly via the channel πt^＋ → tb. We also calculated the production of charged top-pion at the Tevatron and LHC. The cross section can reach to 100 fb at the Tevatron and dozens of pb at the LHC depending on the mass of the top-pion.     

Higgs assisted razor search for Higgsinos at a 100 TeV pp collider

A 100 Te V proton-proton collider will be an extremely effective way to probe the electroweak sector of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM).In this paper,we describe a search strategy for discovering pair-produced Higgsino-like next-to-lightest supersymmetric particles (NLSPs) at a 100 Te V hadron collider that decay to Bino-like lightest supersymmetric particles (LSPs) via intermediate Z and SM Higgs bosons that in turn decay to a pair of leptons and a pair of b-quarks respectively:■.In addition,we examine the potential for machine learning techniques to boost the power of our searches.Using this analysis,Higgsinos up to 1.4 Te V can be discovered at the 5σlevel for Binos with mass of about0.9 Te V using 3000 fb~(-1)of data.Additionally,Higgsinos up to 1.8 Te V can be excluded at 95%C.L.for Binos with mass of about1.4 Te V.This search channel extends the multi-lepton search limits,especially in the region where the mass difference between the Higgsino NLSPs and the Bino LSP is small.     

Searching for Flavor-Changing Neutral-Current Signals via e＋e-（γγ） →tcht0 in Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor Model

In the context of the top-color-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, the flavor-changing neutral-current （FCNC） interaction induced by the top-higgs （hOt） are predicted at tree level. We study the relevant processes of e＋e-（γγ）→tcht0 at the International Linear Collider （ILC）. It is found that these rare processes production rates can be enhanced significantly in the TC2 model. Especially for the process γγ→tcht0, the total cross section will reach a few fb in the reasonable parameter space. We also calculate the distributions of transverse momenta, pseudo-rapid and invariant mass of the top-higgs. In view of the main decay modes of top-higgs for mho 〈 2mr, we find that there will be several hundreds FCNC events produced at the ILC with annually integral luminosity of 500 fb-1. Due to the clean background, such FCNC signals can possibly be detected at the ILC.     

Rare semileptonic decays of heavy mesons in the heavy quark limit

We study the branching ratios of D^＋ → D^0e^＋ν, Ds^＋ → D^0e^＋ν, Bs^0→B^＋e^-^-ν, Ds^＋→D^＋e^-e^＋ and Bs^0→B^0e^-e^＋ rare semileptonic decay processes, which are induced by decays of light quarks, the heavy quarks remain unchanged. The branching ratios of these decay processes are estimated in the heavy quark limit and with SU（3） flavor symmetry. We find that the decay rates are very tiny in the framework of the Standard Model. We also estimate the sensitivities of the measurements of these rare decays at the future experiments, such as BES-Ⅲ, super-B and LHC-b. Observations of these decays may shed some light on new physics beyond the standard model.     

Flavor Changing Top Quark Decay and Bottom-Strange Production in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity

Flavor changing effects on the processes t → ch, e+e- → bs, e+e-→ bsh and pp → bs in the LHT model are investigated in this paper. We calculate the one-loop level contributions from the T-parity odd mirror fermions and gauge bosons. The results show that the top quark rare decay t → ch in the LHT model can be significantly enhanced relative to that in the SM. The bs production at linear colliders in the LHT model can enhance the SM cross section a lot and reach 0.1 fb in some parameter space allowed in the experiment. But the heavy gauge boson and mirror fermion loops have small contribution to the processes pp → bs and e+e-→ bsh. So the LHT effect on e+e-→ bs might be detected at future linear colliders, while it is too small to be seen for the e+e-→ bsh and pp → bs processes at future linear colliders and LHC.     

Single Chargino Production with R-Parity Lepton Number Violation in Photon-Photon Collisions

We examine the process γγ→ x - at photon-photon collider in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation,where all the one-loop diagrams are considered.We mainly discuss the effects of bilinear breaking terms,and conclude that their contributions may be important compared with trilinear terms.Our results show that the events of this process could be detectable at photon-photon colliders,if the values of the parameters are favorable.``     

Flavor-Changing Neutral-Current Production of t-c in Association with a Neutral Top-Higgs at LHC in the Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor Model

In the framework of the topcolor-assisted technicolor （TC2） model we investigate the flavor-changing neutral-current production pp→ t-chto at the Large Hadron Collider （LHC）, which proceeds through the parton-level processes gg→ t-chto , uu→ t-chto and d-d → t-chto . We calculate the production rate and present the distributions of the transverse momenta and the invarient mass of the neutral top-higgs. It is found that the cross section of pp→ t-chto can reach a few hundreds of fb in a large part of the allowed parameter space. Considering the main decay mode of top-higgs for mht〈2mt, we find that such a production may provide copious events. In the case of unobservation, the LHC can set meaningful constraints on the TC2 model.     

Charged Top-Pion Production Associated with a Gluon Jet at the LHC

The charged top-pions have been predicted by the topcolour-assisted technicolour （TC2） model and the observation of the charged top-pions can be regarded as the robust evidence of the model. We study the charged top-pion and gluon associated production at the LHC, i.e., pp → gIIe^＋. The cross section of this process can reach tens of pb, even hundreds ofpb, and there will be enough gIIt^＋ events produced at the LHC. Because the gIIt^＋ production is a flavour-changing （FC） process, the SM background can be greatly depressed. Furthermore, there exists an FC decay mode cb for the charged top-pions, and such decay mode can provide us with the typical signals to detect the charged top-pions. Therefore, it is hopeful to find the charged top-pions via the gIIe^＋ production at the LHC.     

Top quark decay to a 125 Ge V Higgs in the BLMSSM

In this paper, we calculate the rare top quark decay t → ch in a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model where baryon and lepton numbers are local gauge symmetries. Adopting reasonable assumptions on the parameter space, we find that the branching ratios of t→ch can reach 10-3, which could be detected in the near future.     

SUSY QCD Impact on Top-Pair Production Associated with a Z^0-Boson at a Photon-Photon Collider

The top-pair production in association with a Z^0-boson at a photon-photon collider is an important process in probing the coupling between top-quarks and vector boson and discovering the signature of possible new physics. We describe the impact of the complete supersymmetric QCD （SQCD） next-to-leading order （NLO） radiative corrections on this process at a polarized or unpolarized photon collider, and make a comparison between the effects of the SQCD and the standard model （SM） QCD. We investigate the dependence of the lowest-order （LO） and QCD NLO corrected cross sections in both the SM and minimal supersymmetric standard model （MSSM） on colliding energy √s in different polarized photon collision modes. The LO, SM NLO, and SQCD NLO corrected distributions of the invariant mass of tt^--pair and the transverse momenta of final Z^0-boson are presented. Our numerical results show that the pure SQCD effects in γγ →tt^- Z^0 process can be more significant in the ＋＋ polarized photon collision mode than in other collision modes, and the relative SQCD radiative correction in unpolarized photon collision mode varies from 32.09% to -1.89% when √s goes up from 500 GeV to 1.5 TeV.     

Relation Between the Pole Mass and MS Mass of Top Quark in Supersymmetric QCD

We discuss the relation between the pole mass and MS mass of top quark in the framework of the supersymmetric QCD.We find that the supersymmetric contributions are comparable to those of the standard model.     

The single neutral top-higgs production at LHC and ILC in the Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor Model

In this paper, we study the single neutral top-higgs (h0t) production processes at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC). At the LHC, the production rates of processes pp→Z(W)h0t are too small to detect h0t . However, with the reasonable parameter values, the cross sections can reach the level of 102 fb for qq→qqh0t process and 103 fb for top quark associated production process pp→th0t+X, respectively. At the ILC, we study the single top-higgs production processes e-γ→νeW-h0t and γγ→W+W-h0t in e-γ and γγ collisions. It is found that the production cross sections can reach the level of a few fb with reasonable parameter values. Furthermore, such processes with the flavor-changing decay mode h0t→tc might provide typical signatures to detected the top-higgs. Therefore, it is hopeful to find the signal of top-higgs at the LHC and ILC experiments via theses processes and test the TC2 model directly.
