CP-odd WWZ couplings induced by vector-like quarks

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-09-13 v2

Abstract

A minimal extension of the standard model includes extra quarks with charges 2/3 and/or -1/3, whose left-handed and right-handed components are both SU(2) singlets. This model predicts new interactions of flavor-changing neutral current at the tree level, which also violate CP invariance. We study CP-odd anomalous couplings for the gauge bosons W, W, and Z induced by the new interactions at the one-loop level. These couplings become nonnegligible only if both an up-type and a down-type extra quarks are incorporated. Their form factors are estimated to be maximally of order 10510^{-5}. Such magnitudes are larger than those predicted in the standard model, though smaller than those in certain other models.
