Introduction Top quark:Heaviest fundamental particle observed Within the SM, decays almost 100% to b quark and W-boson decay modes: t sW(1.6×10 -3 ), dW(1×10 -4 ) Extremely unstable: Lifetime ~ 4 10 -25 s Decays too fast to form hadronic bound states. The properties of a naked quark can be studied. The dynamics of top quark production and decay are described by perturbative QCD. All the spin information of top quark transfer to its decay products. life time << spin flip time or emitting gluon

So far, top quark interactions not precisely known. Basic parameters like m t and t. Formation and decays of toponium resonances. Top quark interactions: ttg, ttZ, tbW, ttg and ttH. Is there anomaly? Top still point-like? m t due to usual Higgs mechanism? In this talk, I will show Calculate 1-loop QCD correction. Fit to 1-loop QCD correction. Study the effect of V+A coupling. Study the effect of CP-odd terms.

Formalism X min : arbitrary, but small separation number. e.g. 5×10 -3 After adding 1) and 2), X min dependence cancel X min should be enough small, but hard to calculate for smaller X min Virtual + Z-factor : UV divergence cancel Virtual + Soft : IR divergence cancel QCD correction: SU(3) gauge group. s (m Z )=0.119, s (m t )=0.108

The analytic formula become simple in the case of M. Jezabek and J.H. Kuehn, PLB329(94) 318 Numerical calculation 1) Soft + Virtual 2) Hard part similar, but 5 th order integral. instead of calculating exact integral region, integrate 0<x b <1 and 0<x l <1. then impose the constrain of 0<x <1 and cos 2 lb ≤1. For MC integration, I use vegas (cornell univ.) and bases(KEK). For the calculation of matrix element, I use FORM. FORM is excellent for algebraic calculation and pattern matching.

The most stringent constraint: CLEO bs experiment. | R |< 0.04 F.Larios, M.A.Perez and C.-P.Yuan, PLB457(1999)334 bs experiment constrain CC of L and R But this constraint use the condition | L |< 0.2 and |V ts |<0.04. | R | can be larger than 0.04 LEP/SLC data constrain CC of L and NC of L and R. Thus deviation of SM tbW coupling require the deviation of SM ttZ coupling. The constraint of R The Lagrangian for third family quark is
12
The best way to observe R directly is FB asymmetry. For 2fb -1, A FB = 0.22±0.04 (estimation in SM). | R | < 0.7 (3 deviation) F. del Aguila et al., PRD67(2003)014009 The second way is to observe the cross section of single top production. The cross section is proportional to |V tb | 2 (SM). Single top is almost 100% polarized (SM). Anomalous coupling can be observed.
13
k R effect cross section become large. If |Vtb| is away from 1 cross section become small. Tevatron run3 (30fb -1 ) error of |V tb | is 5% LHC (10fb -1 /year) error of |V tb | is 2% for 30 -1 fb At LHC, 3milion single top / year will be produced. ( 300pb) At Tevatron, 60,000 single top / year will be produced ( =2pb) A.P. Heinson et al., PRD56(1996)3114 |V tb | A r is the same as our k R.

Summary We calculate 1-loop QCD correction to top quark decay. Fit to d /dx l dcos and d /dx l dx b dcos are performed. Calculate the | R | effect to V-A coupling. | R |<0.04 from b s experiment but the effect is 2% for | R |=0.1 Calculate the expectation value of O=p l ·(p b s t ) the effect is 0.4% to the differential decay width.
