This talk concerns some theoretical patterns of the helicity amplitudes for t --> W b decay. The patterns involve both the standard model's four decay helicity amplitudes, A_{SM}, and also the amplitudes A_{+} in the case of an additional…
The most general Lorentz-invariant decay-density-matrix for $t\to W^{+}b\to (l^{+}\nu)b$, or for $t\to W^{+}b\to (j_{\bar d}j_u)b$, is expressed in terms of eight helicity parameters. The parameters are physically defined in terms of…
In the standard model, for the t --> W b decay mode, the relative phase is 0-degrees between the dominant A(0,-1/2) and A(-1, -1/2) helicity amplitudes. However, in the case of an additional large t_R --> b_L chiral weak-transition moment,…

We investigate several quantities, defined in the decays of top quark pairs, which can be used to explore non-standard Wtb interactions. Two new angular asymmetries are introduced in the leptonic decay of top (anti)quarks. Both are very…

The electroweak production and subsequent decay of single top quarks is determined by the properties of the $Wtb$ vertex. This vertex can be described by the complex parameters of an effective Lagrangian. An analysis of angular…
We provide a framework for the analysis of the W boson helicity in the decay of the top quark that is based on a general effective tbW coupling. Four independent coupling coefficients can be uniquely determined by the fractions of…
