摘要:

我们采用马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗方法来研究各种新的物理模型,可以产生的前向后不对称的顶夸克对生产的Tevatron观察CDF合作。我们研究了以下新的物理模型:(1)奇异胶子$G^\prime$,(2)具有风味保存相互作用的额外$Z^\prime$玻色子,(3)具有风味破坏的$u$ - $t$相互作用的额外$Z^\prime$,(4)具有风味破坏的$d$ - $t$相互作用的额外$W^\prime$,以及(5)具有违反味道的$u$ - $S$和$d$-$t$-$S^\pm$相互作用的额外标量$S$和$S^\pm$。在结合前后不对称性与Tevatron上的顶对产生截面和$t\bar{t}$不变质量分布的测量后,我们发现质量约为$1 {\rm TeV}$或$2 {\rm TeV}$的轴向矢量奇异胶子$G^\prime$或质量约为$2 {\rm TeV}$的$W^\prime$提供了对标准模型的改进。考虑的其他模型并不比标准模型更好地拟合数据。我们还强调了在文献中长期被忽视的几点:(1)重共振宽度效应,(2)重整化标度依赖性,和(3)非线性光学修正的$t\bar{t}$不变质谱。我们认为,这三个效应是至关重要的测试或排除新的物理效应的顶夸克对不对称性。

英文摘要:

We adopt a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to examine various new physics models which can generate the forward-backward asymmetry in top quark pair production observed at the Tevatron by the CDF Collaboration. We study the following new physics models: (1) exotic gluon $G^\prime$, (2) extra $Z^\prime$ boson with flavor-conserving interaction, (3) extra $Z^\prime$ with flavor-violating $u$-$t$-$Z^\prime$ interaction, (4) extra $W^\prime$ with flavor-violating $d$-$t$-$W^\prime$ interaction, and (5) extra scalars $S$ and $S^\pm$ with flavor-violating $u$-$t$-$S$ and $d$-$t$-$S^\pm$ interactions. After combining the forward-backward asymmetry with the measurement of the top pair production cross section and the $t\bar{t}$ invariant mass distribution at the Tevatron, we find that an axial vector exotic gluon $G^\prime$ of mass about $1 {\rm TeV}$ or $2 {\rm TeV}$ or a $W^\prime$ of mass about $2 {\rm TeV}$ offer an improvement over the Standard Model. The other models considered do not fit the data significantly better than the Standard Model. We also emphasize a few points which have been long ignored in the literature for new physics searches: (1) heavy resonance width effects, (2) renormalization scale dependence, and (3) NLO corrections to the $t\bar{t}$ invariant mass spectrum. We argue that these three effects are crucial to test or exclude new physics effects in the top quark pair asymmetry.
