Top-quark physics

D Chakraborty, J Konigsberg… - Annual Review of …, 2003 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract We survey top-quark physics from what has been learned so far at the Tevatron to
the searches planned at present and future colliders. We summarize the richness of the …

The discovery of the top quark

C Campagnari, M Franklin - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1997 - APS
Evidence for pair production of a new particle consistent with the standard-model top quark
has been reported recently by groups studying proton-antiproton collisions at 1.8 TeV center …

Single top quark production as a window to physics beyond the standard model

TMP Tait, CP Yuan - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
Production of single top quarks at a high energy hadron collider is studied as a means to
identify physics beyond the standard model related to the electroweak symmetry breaking …

Fully differential single-top-quark cross section in next-to-leading order QCD

BW Harris, E Laenen, L Phaf, Z Sullivan, S Weinzierl - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
We present a new next-to-leading order calculation for fully differential single-top-quark final
states. The calculation is performed using phase space slicing and dipole subtraction …

Flavor-changing top quark decays in R-parity-violating supersymmetric models

JM Yang, BL Young, X Zhang - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
The flavor-changing top quark decays t→ cV (V= Z, γ, g) induced by R-parity-violating
couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model are evaluated. We find that the …

Single-top-quark production via -gluon fusion at next-to-leading order

T Stelzer, Z Sullivan, S Willenbrock - Physical Review D, 1997 - APS
Single-top-quark production via W-gluon fusion at hadron colliders provides an opportunity
to directly probe the charged-current interaction of the top quark. We calculate the next-to …

Top quark physics

M Beneke, I Efthymiopoulos, ML Mangano… - arXiv preprint hep-ph …, 2000 - arxiv.org
The top quark, when it was finally discovered at Fermilab in 1995 [1, 2, 3], completed the
threegeneration structure of the Standard Model (SM) and opened up the new field of top …

Understanding single-top-quark production and jets at hadron colliders

Z Sullivan - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2004 - APS
I present an analysis of fully differential single-top-quark production plus jets at next-to-
leading-order. I describe the effects of jet definitions, top-quark mass, and higher orders on …

Single-top-quark production at hadron colliders

T Stelzer, Z Sullivan, S Willenbrock - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
Single-top-quark production probes the charged-current weak interaction of the top quark,
and provides a direct measurement of the CKM matrix element V tb. We perform two …

Method for simulating electroweak top-quark production events in the NLO approximation: SingleTop event generator
