We investigate the one-loop supersymmetric QCD (SUSY-QCD) and electroweak (SUSY-EW) corrections to the top quark decay into a b-quark and a longitudinal or transverse W-boson. The corrections are presented in terms of the longitudinal ratio…
We study the decay mode of top quark decaying into Wb in the TC2 model where the top quark is distinguished from other fermions by participating in a strong interaction. We find that the TC2 correction to the decay width $\Gamma (t \to b W)…
We present the first measurement of the electron angular distribution parameter alpha_2 in W to e nu events produced in proton-antiproton collisions as a function of the W boson transverse momentum. Our analysis is based on data collected…
The first ATLAS result on a search for a high mass top pair resonance at the LHC, in the subset of events where both W bosons from the top decays decay to either a final state electron or muon, is presented. The analysis is performed on…
We present the first full analytic results of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the top-quark decay width $\Gamma(t\to Wb)$ by calculating the imaginary part of three-loop top-quark self-energy diagrams. The results…
In this talk we present results of an exact calculation of gluon radiation in top production and decay at lepton colliders, including all spin correlations and interferences. We compare properties of gluons radiated in the production and…
If a TeV-scale charged gauge boson (W') is discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), it will become imperative to determine its chiral couplings to standard model (SM) fermions in order to learn about the underlying theory containing…
We introduce a new asymmetry in the decay t -> W b -> l nu b, which is shown to be directly proportional to the polarisation of the top quark along a chosen axis, times a sum of W helicity fractions. The latter have already been precisely…
We compute, for $t \bar t$ production at the LHC and at the Tevatron, several charge asymmetries to NLO QCD, including also the electromagnetic and weak-interaction corrections. We calculate these asymmetries both inclusively and with…
We present results for the production of a top pair in association with a W-boson at next-to-leading order. We have implemented this process into the parton-level integrator MCFM including the decays of both the top quarks and the W-bosons…
Decay rates of unpolarized top quarks into longitudinally and transversally polarized W bosons are calculated to second order in the strong coupling constant alpha_s. Including the finite bottom quark mass and electroweak effects, the…
We consider the production of W bosons in hadron collisions, and the subsequent leptonic decay W->lnu_l. We study the asymmetry between the rapidity distributions of the charged leptons, and we present its computation up to the…
We study the gluon fusion into pairs of off-shell Z bosons and their subsequent decay into charged lepton pairs at hadron colliders. We do not restrict the intermediate state Z bosons to the narrow width approximation but allow for…
The polarization of a top-quark can be sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model. We propose a novel method to measure top-quark polarization, based on the charged lepton energy fraction in top-quark decay, and illustrate the…
In this talk we discuss gluon radiation in top production and decay. After reviewing results for hadron colliders we consider soft gluon radiation at lepton colliders and present gluon distributions that are potentially sensitive to…
The one-loop supersymmetric QCD quantum effects on the width of the unconventional top quark decay mode $t\rightarrow H^{+}\, b$ are evaluated within the MSSM. The study of this process is useful to hint at the supersymmetric nature of the…
We examine the T-odd transverse lepton and $\Lambda$ polarizations in the baryonic decays of $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda l^+l^- (l=e ,\mu)$ to study the T violating effects. We show that the lepton polarizations are suppressed but the $\Lambda$…
In supersymmetric theories, the top quark can decay into its scalar partner plus a neutralino, with an appreciable rate. We calculate the $O(\alpha_s)$ QCD corrections to this decay mode in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the…
We review the theory of meson decays to two lepton pairs, including the cases of identical as well as non-identical leptons, as well as CP-conserving and CP-violating couplings. A complete lowest-order calculation of QED radiative…
Focusing attention on top-quark pair production and its decay processes at the LHC, non-standard top-quark couplings are studied based on the effective Lagrangian constructed with SU(3)X SU(2)X U(1) invariant dimension-6 operators. The…
