Abstract

We present the calculations of the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD effects on the single top productions induced by model-independent tqg flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders. Our results show that, for the tcg coupling, the NLO QCD corrections can enhance the total cross sections by about 60% and 30%, and for the tug coupling by about 50% and 20% at the Tevatron and LHC, respectively, which means that the NLO corrections can increase the experimental sensitivity to the flavor-changing neutral-current couplings by about 10%-30%. Moreover, the NLO corrections reduce the dependence of the total cross sections on the renormalization or factorization scale significantly, which lead to increased confidence on the theoretical predictions. Besides, we also evaluate the NLO corrections to several important kinematic distributions, and find that for most of them the NLO corrections are almost the same and do not change the shape of the distributions.

Next-to-leading order QCD predictions for t{gamma} associated production via model-independent flavor-changing neutral-current couplings at hadron colliders

Journal Article Yue, Zhang ; Bohua, Li ; Chongsheng, Li ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD predictions for the t{gamma} associated production induced by model-independent tq{gamma} and tqg flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) couplings at hadron colliders, respectively. We also consider the mixing effects between the tq{gamma} and tqg FCNC couplings for this process. Our results show that, for the tq{gamma} couplings, the NLO QCD corrections can enhance the total cross sections by about 50% and 40% at the Tevatron and LHC, respectively. Including the contributions from the tq{gamma}, tqg FCNC couplings and their mixing effects, the NLO QCD corrections can enhance the total cross sections by about 50% formore »« less

Next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the direct top quark production via model-independent FCNC couplings at hadron colliders

Journal Article Jianjun, Liu ; Chongsheng, Li ; Lilin, Yang ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We calculated the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the cross sections for direct top quark productions induced by model-independent flavor-changing neutral current couplings at hadron colliders. The NLO results increase the experimental sensitivity to the anomalous couplings. Our results show that the NLO QCD corrections enhance the leading order (LO) total cross sections at the Tevatron Run 2 about 60% for both {kappa}{sub tc}{sup g} and {kappa}{sub tu}{sup g} couplings, and enhance the LO total cross sections at the LHC about 40% for {kappa}{sub tc}{sup g} couplings and 50% for {kappa}{sub tu}{sup g} couplings, respectively. Moreover, the NLO QCDmore »« less

Next-to-Leading-Order QCD Corrections to the Top-Quark Decay via Model-Independent Flavor-Changing Neutral-Current Couplings

Journal Article Jiajun, Zhang ; Chongsheng, Li ; Jun, Gao ; ... - Physical Review Letters

D0 and CDF collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron have searched for nonstandard-model single top-quark production and have set upper limits on the anomalous top-quark flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) couplings {kappa}{sub tc}{sup g}/{lambda} and {kappa}{sub tu}{sup g}/{lambda} using the measurement of the total cross section calculated at the next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD. In this Letter, we report on the effect of anomalous FCNC couplings to various decay branching ratios of the top quark, calculated at the NLO. This result is not only mandatory for a consistent treatment of both the top-quark production and decay via FCNC couplings by D0 and CDFmore »« less

Next-to-leading-order supersymmetric QCD corrections to the tbH{sup -} associated production at hadron colliders

Journal Article Peng, Wu ; Renyou, Zhang ; Yi, Jiang ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present the next-to-leading-order QCD corrected total cross sections and the distributions of the transverse momenta of the final anti-bottom quark, top quark, and charged Higgs boson for the processes of pp/pp{yields}tbH{sup -}+X in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at Tevatron and CERN LHC. We find that the next-to-leading-order (NLO) QCD corrections significantly modify the leading-order distributions of the transverse momenta of final particles (p{sub T}{sup b}, p{sub T}{sup t}, and p{sub T}{sup H{sup -}}), and the total NLO QCD corrections reduce the dependence of the cross section on the renormalization and factorization scales; in particular, the NLO QCD correctedmore »« less

Variable flavor number parton distributions and weak gauge and Higgs boson production at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order of QCD

Journal Article Jimenez-Delgado, P ; Reya, E - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Based on our recent next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) dynamical parton distributions as obtained in the 'fixed flavor number scheme', we generate radiatively parton distributions in the 'variable flavor number scheme' where the heavy-quark flavors (c,b,t) also become massless partons within the nucleon. Only within this latter factorization scheme are NNLO calculations feasible at present, since the required partonic subprocesses are only available in the approximation of massless initial-state partons. The NNLO predictions for gauge boson production are typically larger (by more than 1{sigma}) than the next-to-leading order (NLO) ones, and rates at LHC energies can be predicted with an accuracy ofmore »« less
