胶子的有效轴矢量耦合对顶夸克不对称性的解释

Effective axial-vector coupling of gluon as an explanation to the top quark asymmetry

Emidio Gabrielli, Martti Raidal

摘要:

我们探讨了由Tevatron CDF探测器测量的大的$t\bar t$前后不对称性可能是由于胶子的普遍有效轴矢量耦合。使用一个有效场论的方法,我们显示模型独立的日志增强耦合如何发生在1-循环水平。与QCD胶子矢量耦合的干扰自然地诱导观察到的正的前向-后向$t\bar t$不对称性,该不对称性随着$t\bar t$不变质量而增长,并且与截面测量一致。这种情况不涉及新的味道改变耦合,也不涉及干扰QCD的算子,因此,不受LHC搜索4夸克接触相互作用的限制。我们预测顶夸克极化效应随能量增长,并允许在大型强子对撞机上测试这种情况。我们的建议提供了一个可行的替代新的物理方案,解释了$t\bar t$的前向后不对称异常与QCD和树级新物理振幅之间的干扰。

英文摘要:

We explore the possibility that the large $t\bar t$ forward-backward asymmetry measured by the CDF detector at Tevatron could be due to a universal effective axial-vector coupling of gluon. Using an effective field theory approach we show model independently how such a log-enhanced coupling occurs at 1-loop level. The interference with QCD gluon vector coupling naturally induces the observed positive forward-backward $t\bar t$ asymmetry that grows with $t\bar t$ invariant mass and is consistent with the cross section measurements. This scenario does not involve new flavor changing couplings nor operators that interfere with QCD, and, therefore, is not constrained by the LHC searches for 4-quark contact interactions. We predict top quark polarization effects that grow with energy and allow to test this scenario at the LHC. Our proposal offers a viable alternative to new physics scenarios that explain the $t\bar t$ forward-backward asymmetry anomaly with the interference between QCD and tree level new physics amplitudes.
