Top quark polarization as a probe of models with extra gauge bosons.

Journal Article Berger, E L ; Cao, Q -H ; Chen, C -R ; ... - Phys. Rev. D

New heavy gauge bosons exist in many models of new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. Discovery of these W{prime} and Z{prime} resonances and the establishment of their spins, couplings, and other quantum numbers would shed light on the gauge structure of the new physics. The measurement of the polarization of the SM fermions from the gauge boson decays would decipher the handedness of the coupling of the new states, an important relic of the primordial new physics symmetry. Since the top quark decays promptly, its decay preserves spin information. We show how decays of new gauge bosonsmore »« less

Effects of an extra Z{sup '} gauge boson on the top quark decay t{yields}c{gamma} gamma

Journal Article Cordero-Cid, A ; Tavares-Velasco, G ; Toscano, J J - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The effects of an extra Z{sup '} gauge boson with family nonuniversal fermion couplings on the rare top quark decay t{yields}c{gamma} are first examined in a model-independent way and then in the minimal 331 model. It is found that the respective branching fraction is at most of the order of 10{sup -8} for m{sub Z{sup '}}=500 GeV and dramatically decreases for a heavier Z{sup '} boson. This results is in sharp contrast with a previous evaluation of this decay in the context of topcolor-assisted technicolor models, which found that B(t{yields}c{gamma}){approx_equal}10{sup -6} for m{sub Z{sup '}}=1 TeV.

Boosted top quark signals for heavy vector boson excitations in a universal extra dimension model

Journal Article Bhattacherjee, Biplob ; Raychaudhuri, Sreerup ; Sridhar, K ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In view of the fact that the n=1 Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes in a model with a universal extra dimension could mimic supersymmetry signatures at the LHC, it is necessary to look for the n=2 KK modes, which have no analogues in supersymmetry. We discuss the possibility of searching for heavy n=2 vector boson resonances--especially the g{sub 2}--through their decays to a highly boosted top quark-antiquark pair using recently developed top-jet tagging techniques in the hadronic channel. It is shown that tt signals from the n=2 gluon resonance are as efficient a discovery mode at the LHC as dilepton channels frommore »« less

Upper limits on the top quark mass in models with new gauge bosons

Journal Article Rizzo, T G - Modern Physics Letters A; (United States)

This paper reports that, the authors use the experimental value of the {rho} parameter to obtain an upper limit on the top-quark mass (m{sub t}) in models with extended gauge sectors. This limit is found to be generally stronger than that obtained from similar considerations in the Standard Model (SM). This bound, however, is shown to depend strongly on the particular extension of the usual SM gauge sector under consideration. Improved experimental lower limits on m{sub t} can also be used to rule out large regions of the parameter space of extended electroweak models.

Studying top quark decay into the polarized W boson in the topcolor-assisted technicolor model

Journal Article Xuelei, Wang ; College of Physics and Information Engineering, Henan Normal University, Xinxiang, Henan, 453007 ; Qiaoli, Zhang ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the decay mode of the top quark decaying into Wb in the topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model where the top quark is distinguished from other fermions by participating in a strong interaction. We find that the TC2 correction to the decay width {gamma}(t{yields}bW) is generally several percent and the maximum value can reach 8% for the currently allowed parameters. The magnitude of such a correction is comparable with the QCD correction and larger than that of the minimal supersymmetric model. Such a correction might be observable in the future colliders. We also study the TC2 correction to the branchingmore »« less
