Measuring Top Yukawa Coupling through $2\rightarrow 3$ VBS at Muon Collider
Abstract
We study the measurement of top Yukawa coupling through VBS at future muon colliders, focusing on the lepton and semi-lepton channels of . First, analyzing the partonic amplitudes of and simulating the full processes of without decaying, we find they are highly sensitive to the anomalous top Yukawa . This sensitivity is enhanced by selecting helicities of the final and to be and , which serves as the default and core setting of our analysis. We then obtain the limits on with this setting, giving for only and for and combined at TeV and . Second, we proceed to analyze the processes after decaying and with background processes. To enhance the sensitivity to , our settings include selecting the helicities of the final particles, as well as applying suitable cuts. However, we don't do bin-by-bin analysis. We obtain the limits on for those channels at TeV and . The best limit is from the semi-lepton channel of . With spin tagging efficiency at , it gives at and at at TeV; at and at at TeV.
