摘要:

在Tevatron质子-反质子对撞机的顶夸克$t$快度分布和顶夸克衰变产生的带电轻子$\ell$的快度分布中观察到前后不对称性$A_{FB}^t$和$A_{FB}^\ell$,在大型强子对撞机(LHC)的质子-质子碰撞中观察到电荷不对称性$A_C$.在本文中,我们更新我们以前的研究的Tevatron不对称性使用最新的数据。我们提供的预期$A_C$在大型强子对撞机的基础上,第一个模型独立的外推从Tevatron,第二个基于新的物理模型,可以解释Tevatron的不对称性。我们研究了两个不对称$A_{FB}^t$和$A_{FB}^\ell$的关系。我们通过不同极化态的带电轻子和顶夸克之间的$(V-A)$自旋关联,证明了它们之间的联系。我们表明,这两个不对称的比例提供了独立的洞察新的物理模型,调用适合顶夸克不对称。我们强调这两个不对称性的测量值,我们得出结论,产生更多的右手比左手顶夸克的模型是由目前的Tevatron数据的青睐。

英文摘要:

Forward-backward asymmetries $A_{FB}^t$ and $A_{FB}^\ell$ are observed in the top quark $t$ rapidity distribution and in the rapidity distribution of charged leptons $\ell$ from top quark decay at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, and a charge asymmetry $A_C$ is seen in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this paper, we update our previous studies of the Tevatron asymmetries using the most recent data. We provide expectations for $A_C$ at the LHC based first on model independent extrapolations from the Tevatron, and second based on new physics models that can explain the Tevatron asymmetries. We examine the relationship of the two asymmetries $A_{FB}^t$ and $A_{FB}^\ell$. We show their connection through the $(V-A)$ spin correlation between the charged lepton and the top quark with different polarization states. We show that the ratio of the two asymmetries provides independent insight into new physics models that are invoked to fit the top quark asymmetry. We emphasize the value of the measurement of both asymmetries, and we conclude that a model which produces more right-handed than left-handed top quarks is favored by the present Tevatron data.
