Abstract

The distributions of the bottom quark in the process e+ettˉbW+tˉe^+ e^- \to t \, \bar{t} \to b \, W^+ \, \bar{t} are considered at the e+ee^+ e^- energy corresponding to the first construction stage of the Compact Linear Collider. The cross sections of e+ebe^+ e^- \to b \ldots, as functions of the bb-quark energy and angle with respect to the direction of the electron beam, are derived and calculated. The effects of physics beyond the Standard Model are included via the modified γttˉ\gamma t \bar{t} and ZttˉZ t \bar{t} couplings which naturally appear in effective field theories. In addition to the cross sections, the energy and angular asymmetries are calculated. The dependence of these observables on the e+ee^+ e^- energy is calculated, and features of this dependence are investigated.
