摘要:

在Tevatron质子-反质子碰撞产生的顶夸克对中观察到比预期更大的快度的前后不对称性。在顶夸克分布$A_{FB}^t$和顶夸克衰变产生的带电轻子分布$A_{FB}^\ell$中都可以看到这种不对称性。本文从运动学和动力学两个方面研究了带电轻子与不同极化态顶夸克之间的自旋关联所产生的两个观测量之间的紧密联系。我们还考虑了两个基准新的物理模型,轴胶子模型和变味$W^\prime$模型。这些模型可以解释$A_{FB}^t$和$A_{FB}^\ell$的值。我们强调了这两种测量的价值,并得出结论,目前的数据有利于产生更多右手顶夸克而不是左手顶夸克的模型。

英文摘要:

A larger than expected forward-backward asymmetry in rapidity is observed in top quark pairs produced in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron. The asymmetry is seen in both the top quark distribution $A_{FB}^t$ and in the distribution of charged leptons $A_{FB}^\ell$ from top quark decay. In this paper, we study the kinematic and dynamic aspects of the tight relationship of the two observables arising from the spin correlation between the charged lepton and the top quark with different polarization states. We also consider two benchmark new physics models, an axigluon model and a flavor-changing $W^\prime$ model. These models could explain the values of both $A_{FB}^t$ and $A_{FB}^\ell$. We emphasize the value of both measurements, and we conclude that a model which produces more right-handed than left-handed top quarks is favored by the present data.
