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~-→tg at the ILC in Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model(MSSM).We find that the relative SUSY-QCD corrections to the cross section of e~+e~-→ tg can maximally reach 6.5%(3.2%) at the ILC with (1/2)s= 1000 GeV when m__1= 313.4 GeV and m_g =500(1500) GeV.     

Unparticle Effects on Top Quark Pair Production at Photon Collider

The unparticle effects on tt^- production at the future photon collider are investigated. Distributions of tt^- invariant mass and that for transverse momentum of top quark with respect to Standard Model and unparticle production are predicted. An odd valley with scalar unparticle contribution appears for some values of du, which is due to the big cancellation between the contribution from SM and that from unparticle. This character may be used to study the properties of scalar unparticle. Our investigations also show that scalar unparticle may play a significant role in tt^- production at the photon collider if it exists.     

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.     

Spin Correlations in Top Quark Pair Production Near Threshold at the e+e- Linear Collider

We investigate the spin correlations in top quark pair production near the threshold at the e e- linear collider. Comparing with the results above the threshold region, we find that near the threshold region the off-diagonal basis, the optimized decomposition of the top quark spins above the threshold region, does not exist, and the beamline basis is the optimal basis, in which there are the dominant spin components: the up-down (UD) component for e-Le scattering and the down-up (DU) component for e-Re scattering can make up more than 50% of the total cross section,respectively.     

Top Quark Pair Production at e^＋e^— Colliders in the Topcolor—Assisted Technicolor Model

In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor model we calculate the contributions from the preudo Goldstone bosons and new gauge bosons to e^ e^-→ttk.We find that for reasonable ranges of the parameters,the preudo Goldstone bosons afford dominate contribution,the correction arising from new gauge bosons is negligibly small,the maximum of the relative corrections is-10% with the center-of-mass energy √s=500GeV;whereas in the case of √s=1500 GeV,the relative corrections could be up to 16%.Thus large new physics might be observable at the experiments of next-generation linear colliders.

The Effects of Simplest Little Higgs Model on the Spin Correlations in the Top Quark Pair Production at the LHC and ILC

In the simplest little Higgs model (SLH),we study the spin correlations in the top quark pair production at the LHC and ILC.We find that the SLH always suppresses the t spin correlations compared to the SM values.At the LHC,the suppression can be over 10% for mZ′ 750 GeV.The SLH prediction value is outside the 1σ range of the experimental data from ATLAS,and within 1σ range of the experimental data from CMS.At the ILC,the SLH can sizably suppress the t spin correlation for mZ′approaching the center-of-mass energy √s.For example,the maximal suppression can reach-22.5%,-14.5%,and-9.5% for √s=500 GeV,800 GeV,and 1000 GeV,respectively.Therefore,the t spin correlation at the ILC can be a sensitive probe for the SLH.

In the simplest little Higgs model (SLH), we study the spin correlations in the top quark pair production at the LHC and ILC. We find that the SLH always suppresses the tt spin correlations compared to the SM values. At the LHC, the suppression can be over 10% for m_Z' < 750 GeV. The SLH prediction value is outside the 1σ range of the experimental data from ATLAS, and within 1σ range of the experimental data from CMS. At the ILC, the SLH can sizably suppress the tt spin correlation for m_Z' approaching the center-of-mass energy √s. For example, the maximal suppression can reach -22.5%, -14.5%, and -9.5% for √s=500 GeV, 800 GeV, and 1000 GeV, respectively. Therefore, the tt spin correlation at the ILC can be a sensitive probe for the SLH.     

Effects of R-Parity Violating Supersymmetry in Top Pair Production at Linear Colliders with Polarized Beams

In the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation, the lepton number violating top quark interactions can contribute to the top pair production at a linear collider via tree-level u-channel squark exchange diagrams. We calculate such contributions and find that in the allowed range of these R-violating couplings, the top pair production rate as well as the top quark polarization and the forward-backward asymmetry can be significantly altered. By comparing the unpolarized beams with the polarized beams, we find that the polarized beams are more powerful in probing such new physics.     

Dependence of Quark Effective Mass on Gluon Propagators

Based on Dyson Schwinger Equations （DSEs） in the “rainbow” approximation, the dependence of quark effective mass on gluon propagator is investigated by use of three different phenomenological gluon propagators with two parameters, the strength parameter x and range parameter △. Our theoretical calculations for the quark effective mass Mf（p^2）, defined by the self-energy functions Af（p^2） and Bi（p%2） of the DSEs, show that the dynamically running quark effective mass is strongly dependent on gluon propagator. Therefore, because gluon propagator is completely unknown, the quark effective mass cannot be exactly determined theoretically.

Probing Quark Loop Effects on Dressed Gluon Propagator

We study the quark loop effects on the dressed gluon propagator and also on the quark propagator itself. We find that the gluon propagators are different in two phases. The quark mass effects on the gluon propagator are small but not negligible. We also study the current quark mass dependence on the bag constant.

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).     

Associated Production of a Photon with Dark Matter Pair at the ILC within the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity

Within the context of the Littlest Higgs model with T -parity, the heavy photon (AH) is supposed to be an ideal dark matter (DM) candidate. One direct proof of validity of the model is to produce the heavy photon at collider. In this paper, we investigate the associated production of a photon with heavy photon pair at the planned international e+e- linear collider (ILC),i.e., e+e-→ AHAHγ and show the distributions of the transverse momenta of the photon. The numerical results indicate that the heavy photon production rate could reach several fb at the low mass parameter space and the characteristic signal is a single high energetic photon and missing energy, carried by the heavy photons. All in all, it can be a good chance to observe the heavy photon via this process with the high yearly luminosity of the ILC.

The Production of Pseudo Goldstone Boson in Top Quark Rare Decay

We calculate the flavor changing t → cπ0 decay in the framework of the topcolor assisted multiscaletechnicolor model. We find that (a) the branching ratio of t → cπ0 is insensitive to mπ, mπs and mπt, while it increasesquickly as ε increases; (b) for reasonable ranges of the parameters, the maximum of the branching ratio in this modelmay reach 7 × 10-6, seven orders larger compared to the one t → cH0 calculated in the standard model. This mightprovide an opportunity to detect the rare decay of the top quark in experiments.
