在100 TeV质子-质子对撞机上稀有顶夸克衰变:$t \rightarrow bWZ$和$t\rightarrow hc$

Rare top quark decays at a 100 TeV proton-proton collider: $t \rightarrow bWZ$ and $t\rightarrow hc$

摘要:

我们研究了极罕见的顶夸克衰变在未来的质子-质子对撞机的质心能量为100 TeV。我们专注于两种衰变模式:辐射衰变与$Z$玻色子,$t \rightarrow b WZ$,和味道变化的中性衰变与希格斯玻色子,$t \rightarrow h c$,前者被运动学抑制与$\mathcal{O}(10^{-6})$的分支比,和后者高度环抑制,与分支比$\mathcal{O}(10^{-15})$。我们发现,$t \rightarrow b WZ$将是非常具有挑战性的观察顶夸克对的生产,即使在动机良好的超越标准模型的情况下。对于模式$t\rightarrow h c$,我们发现一个更强的灵敏度比任何未来的大型强子对撞机测量获得至少一个数量级。

英文摘要:

We investigate extremely rare top quark decays at a future proton-proton collider with centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV. We focus on two decay modes: radiative decay with a $Z$ boson, $t \rightarrow b WZ$, and flavour-changing neutral decay with a Higgs boson, $t \rightarrow h c$, the former being kinematically suppressed with a branching ratio of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-6})$, and the latter highly loop-suppresed, with a branching ratio of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-15})$. We find that $t \rightarrow b WZ$ will be very challenging to observe in top quark pair production, even within well-motivated beyond-the-Standard Model scenarios. For the mode $t\rightarrow h c$ we find a stronger sensitivity than that obtained by any future LHC measurement by at least one order of magnitude.
