We present predictions at NLO accuracy in QCD for top-quark pair production induced by an anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark. Our results are obtained for total as well as fully differential cross sections, including matching to parton shower simulations. This process is expected to provide the most stringent direct limits on top-quark chromomagnetic dipole moment. We find that NLO corrections increase the contribution from the dipole moment by about 50\% at the LHC, and significantly reduce the renormalization and factorization scale dependence. Using the NLO prediction, we update the current limit from the Tevatron and the LHC measurements. Apart from total cross section, we also study other observables relevant for LHC phenomenology.
We calculate the chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark, $\hatμ_t$, in the context of the Bestest Little Higgs model. This extension of the Standard Model aims to solve the hierarchy problem without fine tuning, by introducing one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson mass through heavy top quark partners and heavy gauge bosons. We found that the largest resulting value for the chromomagnetic is $\hatμ_t\sim 10^{-5}$ and the lowest is around $10^{-6}$, mainly due to the Higgs boson of the Standard Model, which couples to both the top quark of the Standard Model and its heavy partners. Als…
Bounds on the absorptive (imaginary) parts of the top quark chromomagnetic $\hatμ_t$ and chromoelectric $\hat{d}_t$ dipole moments are obtained by reinterpreting the most recent LHC data in top quark pair production. It is found that both limits are of the order of $10^{-1}-10^{-2}$, which are consistent with the standard model prediction of ${\rm Im}\big[\hatμ_t\big]$. The effects of the absorptive parts of the top quark dipole moments are also studied via some kinematic distributions of $\bar{t}t$ production, though no significant deviation from the standard model leading order contribution …
The anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark in the standard model and beyond
顶夸克的反常色磁矩是由对顶点$\bar t t g$的单圈修正引起的。我们在标准模型、双Higgs二重态模型和最小超对称标准模型的框架下给出了这种反常耦合的显式表达式。我们将异常耦合的结果与分析壳层上韧致辐射胶子的$b \to s γ$过程中出现的束缚$-0.03 \leq Δκ\leq 0.01$进行了比较。这使我们能够研究所考虑的模型的参数的允许区域。
The Chromomagnetic Dipole Operator and the B Semileptonic Branching Ratio
我们认为，有一个大的分支比的衰变$b\to s g$来自增强威尔逊系数的色磁偶极子运营商的可能性。我们发现，$BR(b\to s g)$的值$\sim 10\%$或更多的是兼容的约束来自CLEO的实验结果$BR(B\to X_sγ)$和$BR(B\to X_sϕ)$。如此大的数值可以使半轻子分支比和粲计数的预言与目前的实验结果相一致。我们还讨论了一个超对称模型与谷蛋白介导的味道侵犯，这可以解释这样大的值$BR(b\to s g)$。
We revisit the anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment in the Standard Model and show that its triple gluon vertex contribution, with the on-shell gluon ($q^2=0$), generates an infrared divergent pole. Consequently, the chromomagnetic dipole should not be perturbatively evaluated at $q^2=0$. Focusing on this top quark anomaly, denoted as $\hatμ_t(q^2)$, we compute it with the off-shell gluon with a large momentum transfer, just as the $α_s(m_Z^2)$ convention scale, for both spacelike $q^2=-m_Z^2$ and timelike $q^2=m_Z^2$ cases. We found that $\hatμ_t(-m_Z^2)$ $=$ $-0.0224$ $-0.000925i$ and $\ha…
The one-loop contributions to the chromomagnetic dipole moment $\hatμ_t(q^2)$ and electric dipole moment $\hat d_t(q^2)$ of the top quark are calculated within the reduced 331 model (RM331) in the general case of an off-shell gluon. It is argued that the results are gauge independent for $q^2\ne 0$ and represent valid observable quantities. In the RM331 $\hat μ_t(q^2)$ receives new contributions from two heavy gauge bosons $Z'$ and $V^+$ and a new neutral scalar boson $h_2$, along with a new contribution from the standard model Higgs boson via flavor changing neutral currents. The latter, whic…
A new estimate of the one loop contributions of the standard model to the chromomagnetic dipole moment (CMDM) $\hat μ_q(q^2)$ of quarks is presented with the aim to address a few disagreements arising in previous calculations. We consider the most general case with an off-shell gluon with transfer momentum $q^2$ and obtain analytical results in terms of Feynman parameter integrals and Passarino-Veltman scalar functions, which are then expressed in terms of closed form functions when possible. The calculation is done via a renormalizable linear $R_ξ$ gauge and the background field method, which…
The chromo magnetic dipole moment (CMDM) and chromo electric dipole moment (CEDM) of the top quark are calculated at the one-loop level in the framework of the two-Higgs doublet model with four fermion generations (4GTHDM), which is still consistent with experimental data and apart from new scalar bosons ($H^0$, $A^0$, and $H^\pm$) and quarks ($b'$ and $t'$) predicts new sources of $CP$ violation via the extended $4\times 4$ CKM matrix. Analytical expressions for the CMDM and CEDM of a quark are presented both in terms of Feynman parameter integrals and Passarino-Veltman scalar functions, with…
The electromagnetic dipole moments of the tau lepton and the chromoelectromagnetic dipole moments of the top quark are estimated via flavor-changing neutral currents, mediated by a new neutral massive gauge boson. We predict them in the context of models beyond the Standard Model with extended current sectors, in which simple analytic expressions for the dipole moments are presented. For the different $Z^\prime$ gauge boson considered, the best prediction for the magnetic dipole moment of the tau lepton, $|a_τ|$, is of the order of $10^{-8}$, while the highest value for the electric one, $|d_τ…
Motivated by the first observation of coherent-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering at the COHERENT experiment, we confront the neutrino dipole portal giving rise to the transition of the standard model neutrinos to sterile neutrinos with the recently released CENNS 10 data from the liquid argon as well as the CsI data of the COHERENT experiment. Performing statistical analysis of those data, we show how the transition magnetic moment can be constrained for the range of the sterile neutrino mass between 10 keV and 40 MeV.
We investigate the weak electric and magnetic dipole moments of top quark-Z boson interactions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the International Linear Collider (ILC). Their vanishingly small magnitude in the Standard Model makes these couplings ideal for probing New Physics interactions and for exploring the role of top quarks in electroweak symmetry breaking. In our analysis, we consider the production of two top quarks in association with a Z boson at the LHC, and top quark pairs mediated by neutral gauge bosons at the ILC. These processes yield direct sensitivity to top quark-Z boso…
We establish model independent bounds on the anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments of the tau-lepton using the two-photon processes $γγ\to τ^+τ^-$ and $γγ\to τ^+τ^-γ$. We use ${\cal L}=10, 50, 100, 300, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 \hspace{0.8mm}fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the future $e^+e^-$ linear collider such as the CLIC at $\sqrt{s}=380, 1500, 3000 \hspace{0.8mm}GeV$ and we consider systematic uncertainties of $δ_{sys}=0, 3, 5\hspace{1mm}\%$. Precise bounds at $95\%$ C. L. on the anomalous dipole moments to the tau-lepton $-0.00015\leq \tilde{a}_τ\leq 0.00017$ and $|\tilde{d}_…
In this paper, we investigate the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic dipole moments of the top quark through top pair production in association with two photons at the LHC. We first present the strategy to reconstruct this process assuming a different source for background processes. Then, we focus on the existing constraints from inclusive top-pair production from the Tevatron and LHC, adding the new LHC measurement. Afterwards, we introduce the new cross section ratio $R_{2γ/γ}=σ_{t\bar{t}γγ}/σ_{t\bar{t}γ}$ and show the usefulness of this ratio in canceling most of the systematic un…
We examine the lepton dipole moments in an extension of the Standard Model (SM), which contains vector-like leptons that couple only to the second-generation SM leptons. The model naturally leads to sizable contributions to the muon $g-2$ and the muon electric dipole moment (EDM). One feature of this model is that a sizable electron EDM is also induced at the two-loop level due to the existence of new vector-like leptons in the loops. We find parameter regions that can explain the muon $g-2$ anomaly and are also consistent with the experimental constraints coming from the electron EDM and the …

The determination of the electromagnetic dipole moments of the top quark is one of the most important goals of the top quark physics program in the collider experiments. For this reason, the top quark pair production to investigate the sensitivity on the electric and magnetic dipole moments of the top quark via the process $pp\rightarrow p γp \rightarrow p t \bar{t} X$ at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) and High-Energy Large Hadron Collider (HE-LHC) is discussed. We apply pure leptonic and semileptonic decays for top quark pair production in …
