在单顶夸克产生中寻找反常的$\boldmath{Wtb}$耦合

Search for anomalous $\boldmath{Wtb}$ couplings in single top quark production

D0 Collaboration, V. M. Abazov

摘要:

在$p \bar p$碰撞的0.9 fb $^{-1}$中,D0观察到了一个孤立轻子、缺少横向动量和两到四个喷流的过量事件。这种过剩与单顶夸克的产生是一致的。我们检查这些数据来研究$Wtb$耦合的洛伦兹结构。标准模型预测在$Wt b$顶点处的左手矢量耦合。最一般的最低维,CP守恒拉格朗日允许右手向量和左或右手张量耦合以及。我们发现,数据更喜欢左手矢量耦合,并设置上限的异常耦合。这是对一般$Wtb$相互作用的第一个直接约束,也是对左手和右手张量耦合的第一个直接限制。

英文摘要:

In 0.9 fb$^{-1}$ of $p \bar p$ collisions, D0 has observed an excess of events with an isolated lepton, missing transve rse momentum, and two to four jets. This excess is consistent with single top quark production. We examine these data to study the Lorentz structure of the $Wtb$ coupling. The standard model predicts a left-handed vector coupling at the $Wt b$ vertex. The most general lowest dimension, CP-conserving Lagrangian admits right-handed vector and left- or right-h anded tensor couplings as well. We find that the data prefer the left-handed vector coupling and set upper limits on the anomalous couplings. These are the first direct constraints on a general $Wtb$ interaction and the first direct limits on left- and right-handed tensor couplings.
