Littlest Higgs model with T-parity and single top production in ep collisions

Based on calculating the contributions of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity （called LHT model） to the anomalous top coupling tqγ （q = u or c）, we consider single top production via the t-channel partonic process eq→et in ep collisions. Our numerical results show that the production cross section in the LHT model can be significantly enhanced relative to that in the standard model （SM）.     

LHT model and Higgs boson production in association with a weak gauge boson at the LHC

Considering the process pp → VH+X(V = W or Z) is a significant channel for searching for a light Higgs boson,we calculate the contributions of the littlest Higgs model with T-parity(called LHT model) to its production cross section.We find that,in most of the parameter space,the value of the relative correction parameter R is very small.However,with reasonable values of the free parameters,its value can be significantly larger.

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.     

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).

Flavor-Changing Bottom-Strange Associated in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity at the ILC

In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT) the mirror quarks induce the special flavor structures and some new flavor-changing couplings, which could greatly enhance the production rates of the flavor-changing processes. We in this paper study some bottom and anti-strange production processes in the LHT model at the International Linear Collider (ILC), i.e.,e⁺e^- →b\bar{s} andγγ→b\bar{s}. The results show that the production rates of these processes are sizeable for the favorable values of the parameters. Therefore, it is quite possible to test the LHT model or make some constraints on the relevant parameters of the LHT through the detection of these processes at the ILC.

Production of Charged Scalars from the Littlest Higgs Model Associated with Top Quark at LHC

The littlest Higgs （LH） model is the most economical one among various little Higgs models, which predicts the existence of the charged scalars Φ^±. In this paper, we study the production of the charged Higgs boson Φ^- with single top quark via the process gb →tΦ^- at the CERN Large Hadron Collider （LHC）. The numerical results show that the production cross section is sma/ler than 0.2 pb in most of the parameters space, it is very difficult to observe the signatures of the charged scalars via the process pp → gb ＋ X → tΦ^- ＋ X at the LHC experiments. However, it can open a window to distinguish the top-pions in the TC2 model or charged Higgs in the MSSM from Φ^±.     

T-odd top partner pair production in the dilepton final states at the LHC in the littlest Higgs Model with T-parity

In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, we discuss the pair production of the T-odd top partner(T_) that decays almost 100% into the top quark and the lightest T-odd particle(A_H). Considering the current constraints,we investigate the observability of the T-odd top partner pair production through the process pp→T_T_→tt A_HA_H in the final states with two leptons at 14 TeV LHC. We analyze the signal significance and found that the lower limits on the T-odd top partner mass are approximately 1.2 TeV, 1.3 TeV, and 1.4 TeV at the 2σ confidence level at 14 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosities of 30 fb~(-1), 100 fb~(-1), and 300 fb~(-1), respectively. This lower limit can be increased to approximately 1.5(1.6) TeV if we used 1000(3000) fb~(-1) of the integrated luminosity.     

Littlest Higgs模型中通过e^+e^-对撞研究新规范玻色子B_H与SM中规范玻色子的伴随产生过程

计划中的高能量、高亮度对撞机ILC在寻找新物理模型所预言的新的重粒子方面具有很大的潜力。本文,我们研究了在ILC上,通过过程e^+e^- ->r(Z)B_H发现littlest Higgs模型中最轻的新规范玻色子B_H的可能性。结果显示,在较大的参数空间范围,这两个过程都有较大的产生截面,能产生足够的信号探测B_H,尤其是对过程e^+e^- ->rB_H。另外,B_H的一些衰变道可以产生特征比较明显背景比较干净的信号。如果B_H存在,随着ILC的运行,新的规范玻色子B_H应能通过这两过程观测。     

Top Quark Chromomagnetic Dipole Moment in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-Parity

The littlest Higgs model with T-parity, which is called LHT model, predicts the existence of the new particles, such as heavy top quarks, heavy gauge bosons, and mirror fermions. We calculate the one-loop contributions of these new particles to the top quark ehromomagnetic dipole moment （CMDM） AK. We find that the contribution of the LHT model is one order of magnitude smaller than the standard model prediction value.     

Higgs boson production and decay in little Higgs models with T-parity

We study Higgs boson production and decay in a certain class of little Higgs models with T-parity in which some T-parity partners of the Standard Model (SM) fermions gain their masses through Yukawa-type couplings. We find that the Higgs boson production cross section of a 120 GeV Higgs boson at the CERN LHC via gg fusion process at one-loop level could be reduced by about 45%, 35% and 20%, as compared to its SM prediction, for a relatively low new particle mass scale f=600, 700 and 1000 GeV, respectively. On the other hand, the weak boson fusion cross section is close to the SM value. Furthermore, the Higgs boson decay branching ratio into di-photon mode can be enhanced by about 35% in small Higgs mass region in certain case, for the total decay width of Higgs boson in the little Higgs model is always smaller than that in the SM.

We find that the contribution of the LHT model is one order of magnitude smaller than the standard model prediction value.     

Dark-matter pair production at the ILC in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity

In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, the heavy photon (A_H) is supposed to be a possible dark matter (DM) candidate. The direct proof of the validity of this model is to produce the heavy photon at an accelerator. In this paper, we study the production rate of e~+ e~- → AH AH at the international e~+ e~- linear collider (ILC) in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, and show the distributions of the transverse momenta of A H . The numerical results indicate that the heavy photon production rate could reach the 10~-1 fb level at some parameter space, so this could be a good chance to observe the heavy photon via the pair production process with high luminosity at the ILC (500 fb~-1). We know that DM is composed of weakly interacting massive particles, so the interactions with standard model particles are weak. How to detect heavy photons at a collider and distinguish them from other DM candidates are discussed in the final section of the paper.
