Spin and chirality effects in antler-topology processes at high energy $${e^+e^-}$$ colliders
Abstract
We perform a model-independent investigation of spin and chirality correlation effects in the antler-topology processes e +e -→P +P -→(ℓ+D0)(ℓ-D¯0) at high-energy e +e - colliders with polarized beams. Generally the production process e +e -→P +P - can occur not only through the s-channel exchange of vector bosons, V0 , including the neutral Standard Model (SM) gauge bosons, γ and Z, but also through the s- and t-channel exchanges of new neutral states, S0 and T0 , and the u-channel exchange of new doubly charged states, U-- . The general set of (non-chiral) three-point couplings of the new particles and leptons allowed in a renormalizable quantum field theory is considered. The general spin and chirality analysis is based on the threshold behavior of the excitation curves for P +P - pair production in e +e - collisions with longitudinal- and transverse-polarized beams, the angular distributions in the production process and also the production-decay angular correlations. In the first step, we present the observables in the helicity formalism. Subsequently, we show how a set of observables can be designed for determining the spins and chiral structures of the new particles without any model assumptions. Finally, taking into account a typicalmore »
