Precise measurement of top-quark gauge couplings at high energy colliders 张仁友 (南昌,2010-04-17) 中国科学技术大学粒子物理与技术中心
Linear colliders: • Hadron colliders: ILC
Vff effective vertex: Possible anomalous couplings of the top quark to gauge bosons can be parameterized by means of an effective Lagrangian. chirality conserving dimension 4 operators (2) chirality flipping dimension 5 operators (8)
radiative corrections in a renormalizable theory dimension 5 operators The operators associated to gE, gS, gTE and gTS are odd under a CP transformation ! Contribute to CP-violating observables !
on-shell approximation: V is on-shell / couples to effective massless fermions both top quarks are on-shell [ ] related to (weak) magnetic and (weak) electric dipole moments Tree level results in the SM !
1-loop corrections : expressed in terms of the physical W and Z masses
SM: ttV production at linear/hadron colliders: off-shell In technicolor and other models with a strongly coupled Higgs sector, anomalous top quark couplings may be induced at the 5-10% level. Beyond the SM: It is important to improve the theoretical prediction in order to accommodate the experimental measurement !
main channel: We can measure the ttV couplings in top pair production with a few-percent precision. hep-ph/0106315
Detectable values of the (weak) electric dipole moments would be evidence for a new type CP-violating interaction. Depending on how these form factors vary with s, their contribution to the cross section or to other observables can increase with the c.m. energy !
The angular distributions and the angular and energy distributions of top-quark decay products provide very efficient tools for studying top-quark gauge couplings at linear colliders.
Tevatron 68.3% CL 95% CL
Tevatron : LHC :
input parameters: (theor.) (exp.) cuts: Tevatron LHC
scale dependence: LHC Tevatron 1. The NLO QCD corrections reduce obviously the dependence of the cross section on the renormalization/factorization scale !
PT distribution: 2. The NLO QCD corrections enhance significantly the PT distribution for the LHC, but make only a small impact on the differential cross section for the Tevatron !
