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.     

Precision Calculations for the T-Odd Quark Pair Production at the CLIC e+e- Linear Collider

We perform the precision calculations for the e⁺e^-→q_q_(q_q_=u_u_, c_c_, d_d_,s_s_) processes up to the QCD next-to-leading order (NLO) including full weak decays for the final T-odd mirror quarks in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT) at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). We show the dependence of the leading order (LO) and NLO QCD corrected cross sections on the colliding energy √s, and provide the LO and QCD NLO kinematic distributions of final particles. The results show that the LO cross section can be enhanced by the NLO QCD correction and the K-factor increases obviously when the threshold of the on-shell q_q_-pair production approaches the colliding energy √s. The K-factor value varies in the range of 1.04 ～ 1.41 in our chosen parameter space. We find that a simple approximation of multiplying the LO kinematic distribution with the integrated K-factor is not appropriate for precision study of the e⁺e^-→q_q_(q_q_=u_u_, c_c_, d_d_,s_s_) processes, since the NLO QCD corrections are phase space dependent. It is necessary to calculate the differential cross sections including full NLO QCD corrections to get reliable results.     

Hidden-charm Pentaquark Production at e~+e~- Colliders

We study one possible production mechanism for the hidden-charm pentaquark via a color-octet cc pair fragmentation in e~+e~-collision.The pentaquark production at B factory energy is dominated by e~+e~-→ccg→P_c+X,while at Z~0pole energy,there are several partonic processes playing significant role.Our results show that it is possible to search for the direct pentaquark production signal at e~+e~-colliders,which is important to understand the properties of pentaquark.     

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 Process e+e-→tc in Technicolor Model with a Massless Scalar Doublet

At LEPⅡ (the energy: √s = 200 GeV), we carry out precise calculations on the process e⁺e^-→tc in the framework of technicolor model with a massless scalar doublet. The results show that the process is unmeasurably small in this TC model.     

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.     

Detecting Extended Technicolor Effects via the Process e^＋e^—→tt^— at High Energy e^＋e^—,Linear Collider

We calculate the corrections of extended technicolor(ETC) interactions to the asymmetry parameter ALR and the polarized parameters PL^t,PR^t of the process e^ e^-→tt- in topcolor-assisted multiscale technicolor model.our results show that the ETC efect effect on PR^t in negligibly small which can be safely ignored,and the ETC effect on ALR may be testable at high energy e^ e^- linear collider(LC),FOr 0.03≤ε≤0.1,500GeV≤s○800GeV,the relative correction of PL^t is in the range of 15%≤δPL^t/PL^t,SM≤39%,which will certainly be detected at the LC experiments(for example TESLA).     

Charged Higgs Pair Production in a General Two Higgs Doublet Model at e^＋e^- and μ^＋μ^- Linear Colliders

In this paper, charged Higgs pair production through l^＋l^- → H^＋ H^-, where l = e or μ, is studied within the framework of a general Two Higgs Doublet Model （2HDM）. The analysis is relevant to a future e^＋e^- or μ^＋ μ^- collider operating at center of mass energy of √s = 500 GeV. Two different scenarios of small and large a values are studied. Here a is the parameter, which diagonMizes the neutral CP-even Higgs boson mass matrix. Within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model （MSSM）, cross section of this process is almost the same at e＋ e- and #＋#- colliders. It is shown that at e^＋e^- eolliders within a general 2HDM, cross section is not sensitive to the mass of neutral Higgs bosons, however, it can acquire large values up to several picobarn at μ^＋μ^- colliders with the presence of heavy neutral Higgs bosons. A scan over Higgs boson mass parameter space is performed to analyze the effect of large masses of neutral Higgs bosons involved in the s-channel propagator and thus in the total cross section of this process.     

A POSSIELE SOURCE OF EXCESS OF Z0→e+e-γ EVENTS

The observation of the excess of Z⁰→e⁺e^-γ can be explained by assuming that Z⁰ is radiatively decayed into a new scalar particle P⁰ which is subsequently turned into an e⁺e^- pair. We argue that this assuhption does not conflict with the present experimental results.     

Pair Production of the Doubly Charged Leptons Associated with a Gauge Boson γ or Z in e~+e~-and γγ Collisions at Future Linear Colliders

In this paper,we investigate the production of a pair of doubly charged leptons associated with a gauge boson V(γ or Z) at future linear colliders via e~+e~-and γγ collisions.The numerical results show that the possible signals of the doubly charged leptons may be detected via the processes e~+e~→VX~(++)X~(--)and γγ→VX~(++)X~(--)at future ILC or CLIC experiments.     

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.     

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.     

Study on the Effects of the Light CP-odd Higgs via the Leptonic Decays of Pseudoscalar Mesons

To explain the anomalously large decay rate of Σ⁺→p+μ⁺μ^-, it was proposed that a new mechanism where a light CP-odd pseudoscalar boson of m_A1⁰=214.3 MeV makes a crucial contribution. Later, some authors have studied the transition π⁰→ e⁺e^- and r → γA₁⁰ in terms of the same mechanism and their result indicates that with the suggested mass one cannot fit the data. This discrepancy might be caused by experimental error of Σ⁺→ p+μ⁺μ^- because there were only a few events. Whether the mechanism is a reasonable one motivates us to investigate the transitions π⁰→ e⁺e^-;η(η')→ μ⁺μ^-; η_c→ μ⁺μ^-; η_b→τ⁺τ^- within the same framework. It is noted that for π⁰→ e⁺e^-, the standard model (SM) prediction is smaller than the data, whereas the experimental central value of η→μ⁺μ^- is also above the SM prediction. It means that there should be extra contributions from other mechanisms and the contribution of A₁⁰ may be a possible one. Theoretically calculating the branching ratios of the concerned modes, we would check if we can obtain a universal mass for A₁⁰ which reconcile the theoretical predictions and data for all the modes. Unfortunately, we find that it is impossible to have such a mass with the same coupling |gl|. Therefore we conclude that the phenomenology does not favor such a light A₁⁰, even though a small window is still open.     

On Observation of e+e-→bqb0 at LEP Ⅱ with Two Higgs Doublets

We study possible observational effects of the two Higgs doublets in the e⁺e^-→bqb⁰ at the LEP Ⅱ energy. We have found that the observational values can be obviously different from those predicted by the minimal standard model (MSM), but the results depend on the parameters of the extended model. The possibilities of the observation are discussed in some details.     

Associated Productions of HZZ and HHZ at Linear Colliders in Large Extra Dimension Model

In this paper we investigate the effects of the large extra dimensions on the two processes e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ and e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ at linear colliders in both unpolarized and polarized collision modes. We find that the virtual Kaluza-Klein graviton exchange can significantly enhance the cross section from their standard model expectations for these two processes. The results show that the LED effect on the process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ allows the observation limits on the effective scale M_S to be probed up to 9.75 TeV and 10.1 TeV in the unpolarized and +-(λ_e⁺=1/2, λ_e^-=-1/2) polarized beam collision modes (with P_e⁺=0.6, P_e^-=0.8), respectively. For the process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰, these limits on M_S can be probed up to 6.06 TeV and 6.38 TeV in the unpolarized and polarized collision modes separately. We find that the λ_e⁺=1/2, λ_e^-=-1/2 polarization collision mode in both process e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ and e⁺e^-→ H⁰Z⁰Z⁰ may provide a possibility to improve the sensitivity in probing the LED effects.     

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→ν_ebt 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^½=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→φ⁺b→tbb in future LC experiment with s^½=3 TeV and £=500 fb^-1.     

The Higgs Boson Mass in MSM and the New Data

In this paper we study the implications of the top quark mass measurement at CDF for the Higgs boson mass M_H. We find that the present data are most likely in favor of heavy Higgs boson, M_H = 340_-270⁺⁷⁷⁰ GeV for M_t = 174 GeV, but no realistic constraints on M_H could be derived until the measurement of M_t reaches high precision.     

A Study on Radiative Dileptonic Decays B0(Bs)→γ l+l-

We study the rare radiative dileptonic decays B⁰(B_s)→γ l⁺l^- (l=e,μ) in the standard model. By using the B meson wave function constrained by non-leptonic decays, the branching ratios turn out to be of the order of 10^-9 for B_s→γ μ⁺μ^-, γe⁺e^-, and 10^-10 for B⁰→γμ⁺μ^-, γe⁺e^-. Based on the study, these decays are accessible at the near future LHC-b experiment, which are useful to determine the B(B_s) wave function.     

Littlest Higgs Model and Higgs Boson Associated Production with Top Quark Pair at High Energy Linear e+e- Collider

In the parameter space allowed by the electroweak precision measurement data, we consider the contributions of the new particles predicted by the littlest Higgs model to the Higgs boson associated production with top quark pair in the future high energy linear e⁺e^- collider (ILC). We find that the contributions mainly come from the new gauge bosons Z_H and B_H. For reasonable values of the free parameters, the absolute value of the relative correction parameter δσ/σ^SM can be significanly large, which might be observed in the future ILC experiment with √{S}=800 GeV.
