Abstract

Within the model-independent framework of SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1) gauge-invariant dimension-six operators, we study flavor-changing WtqWtq couplings (q=d,sq=d,s) and related four-quark contact interactions involving the top. We obtain bounds on those couplings from Tevatron and LHC data for single-top production and branching fractions in top decays, as well as other experimental results on flavor-changing neutral-current processes including BXqγB\to X_{q}\gamma and ZbqˉZ\to b\bar{q} decays (q=d,sq=d,s). We also update the bounds on flavor-diagonal WtbWtb couplings using the most recent measurement of WW-helicity fractions in top decays from top-pair production.
