Abstract

In the light of the top quark discovered very recently by CDF, we investigate the possibility of narrowing down the allowed top quark masses by combining for the first time only two strongest constraints present in the no-scale SU(5)×U(1)SU(5)\times U(1) supergravity model, namely, the ones from the flavor-changing radiative decay bsγb\rightarrow s\gamma and the precision measurements at LEP in the form of ϵ1\epsilon_{1}. It turns out that even without including the most devastating constraint from \Zbb\Zbb measurement at LEP in the form of RbR_b directly or ϵb\epsilon_b indirectly, the combined constraint from bsγb\rightarrow s\gamma and ϵ1\epsilon_1 alone in fact excludes mt(mt)\gsim180\GeVm_t(m_t)\gsim 180\GeV altogether in the no-scale model, providing a constraint on mtm_t near the upper end of the CDF values. The resulting upper bound on mtm_t is stronger and 5\GeV5 \GeV lower than the one from combining ϵ1\epsilon_1 and ϵb\epsilon_b constraints and also combining bsγb\rightarrow s\gamma and ϵb\epsilon_b constraints in the previous analysis.
