Single top-quark production, via weak-interaction processes, is an important test of the standard model, potentially sensitive to new physics. However, it is becoming known that this measurement is much more challenging at the Tevatron than…
In the context of topcolor assisted technicolor(TC2) models, we study the production of the top-pions $\pi_{t}^{0,\pm}$ with single top quark via the processes $p\bar{p} \to t\pi_{t}^{0}+X$ and $p\bar{p} \to t\pi_{t}^{\pm}+X$, and discuss…
Due to the presence of extra top quark T in the little Higgs models, the $CKM$ matrix is not unitary and the flavor changing neutral currents may exist at the tree level. In the context of the Littlest Higgs(LH) model, we discuss the…
Extraction of the multi-TeV proton and lead LHC beams with a bent crystal or by using an internal gas target allows one to perform the most energetic fixed-target experiment ever. pp, pd and pA collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 115 GeV and Pbp and…
