Top quark as a resonance

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-09-24 v3

Abstract

We suggest the description of the dressed fermion propagator with parity non-conservation in the form with separated positive and negative energy poles. We found general form of the γ\gamma-matrix off-shell projectors and corresponding resonance factors. The parity violation leads to deviation of resonance factors from the naive Breit--Wigner form and to appearance of non-trivial spin corrections. However, for top quark with SM vertex the resonance factor returns to the standard one due to Γ/m1\Gamma/m\ll1.
