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.     

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.     

The Effects of Standard Model Extensions on W-Boson Helicity Ratios in Top Quark Decay

In this letter, we investigate the contributions which W boson helicity fractions in top quark decay receive from a two-Higgs doublet model, a top-color assisted technicolor (TC2) and the noncommutative extension of the Standard Model. It is shown that the deviations coming from these models are much less than the experimental sensitivity in measurement of the helicity fractions.     

Leading Supersymmetric Electroweak Corrections to Top Quark Decay into a Neutralino and Light Stop

We calculate the leading supersymmetric electroweak corrections to t → t₁x_j0 using dimensional reduction scheme within an approximation of low tan β, which can easily be extended to t→x_jb_i. The numerical results show that such corrections can exceed -12% for tan β = 2 and -6% for tan β = 11, respectively. And these corrections vary insensitively with mi, in the region allowed by the kinematics except for ones near the threshold.

We study the one-loop contribution of the effective flavor changing neutral couplings (FCNC) tcZ on the charm quark electric dipole moment. Using the known limits on the top and charm quarks electric dipole moments, we place limits on these FCNC anomalous couplings.

Upper Bounds on Top Quark Mass,Z Boson Decay Widths and Mass Ratio MW/MZ

In this paper we made a comprehensive analysis of some latest esperimental data-the Z boson decay widths, the mass ratio M_W/M_Z and effective vector coupling constant g_v, within the framework of standard model. We considered the 0(α_s²), order QCD corrections in tlte calculation of T_h and T_z. The analysis shows that the mass ratio (M_W/M_Z)² is rather sensitive to the change of the strong coupling constant α_s(M_Z), and the smaller value α_s(M_Z)≤0.128 is preferred. The upper bounds on top quark Inass M_t are obtained from different analyses. The final averaged result is M_t= 102 37 GeV, or M_t< 186 GeV at 95% C.L. for Higgs boson mass M_H in the range of 50～1000 GeV.

Spectroscopy for the Bound States of a Top Squark (t) and a Heavy Quark

Based on the possibility that the life time of the lightest top squark 1(1) may be long enough and it may form a bound state with another quark before its decay has not been ruled out yet, we focus on the bound states of the lightest top squark 1(1) and a heavy quark Q(), and establish the Bethe Salpeter equation for the binding systems (c1) and (b1) (or their antiparticles) etc with QCD inspired kernel. We then investigate these systems and give their spectroscopy by means of instantaneous approximation.

Top Quark,Heavy Fermions and the Composite Higgs Boson

We study the properties of heavy fermions in the vector-like representation of the electroweak gauge group SU(2)_W×U(1)_Y with Yukawa couplings to the standard model Higgs boson. Applying the renormalization group analysis, we discuss the effects of heavy fermions to the vacuum stability bound and the triviality bound on the mass of the Higgs boson. We also discuss the interesting possibility that the Higgs particle is composed of the top quark and heavy fermions. The bound on the composite Higgs mass is estimated using the method of Bardeen, Hill and Lindner (Phys. Rev. D 41 (1990) 1647), 150 GeV ≤ m_H ≤ 450 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.     

Detecting Toppion via a Flavor-Changing Single Top Quark Production Process

In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) theory, we study a flavor changing single top quarkproduction process pp(pp) →Ⅱ0t → tc(tc) at upgraded Tevatron and LHC. The results show that with the flavor changingcoupling of neutral toppion to top and charm quark, toppion provides a large te-channel resonance effect. The signal ofsingle top production could be detected at LHC. Otherwise, the narrow peak in the invariant mass distribution could beclearly detected both at upgraded Tevatron and LHC. Therefore, such single top production process provides a uniqueway to test TC2 model via the detection of tc-channel neutral toppion contribution.
