Top quark decays are of particular interest as a mean to test the standard model (SM) predictions, both for the dominant ($t\to b+W$) and rare decays ($t\to q+W, cV, cVV,c\phi^0,bWZ$). As the latter are highly suppressed, they become an…
In these proceedings we explore the possibility of new physics manifesting itself in rare top quark decays. In particular, we adopt an effective theory description of FCNC t -> q V top quark decays and possible deviations from the SM form…
Theoretical predictions for the top quark rare decays are reviewed within and beyond the standard model. Expectations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are discussed.
We compare the standard top quark decay and the charged Higgs decay of the top quark, t --> W+ b and t --> H+ b, at the quantum level in the MSSM. While the SUSY loop corrections to the standard top quark decay are only of a few percent, it…
We study possible theoretical deviations from SM in top quark physics which alter the decay properties of the top quark. Using effective filed theory techniques we parametrize the effects of potential NP of scales well above the electroweak…
Top flavour-changing neutral decays are extremely suppressed within the Standard Model (SM) by the GIM mechanism, but can reach observable rates in some of its extensions. We compute the branching ratios for t -> c gamma and t -> c g in…
The search for new physics in top quark decays at the LHC is reviewed in this paper. Results from ATLAS and CMS experiments on top quark decays within the Standard Model are presented together with the measurements of the W boson…
Due to the large production cross-section, many of the top quark properties can be measured very precisely at the LHC. A very few recent results, probed only through the top quark decay vertices are presented here. These results are based…
The large value of the top quark mass implies that the rare top decays $t \rightarrow b W^+ Z, s W^+ Z$ and $d W^+ Z$, and $t \rightarrow c W^+ W^-$ and $u W^+ W^-$, are kinematically allowed decays so long as $m_t \ge m_W + m_Z + m_{d_i}…
We introduce an anomalous top quark coupling (right-handed current) into Standard Model Lagrangian. Based on this, a more complete calculation of $b \to s\gamma $ decay including leading log QCD corrections from $m_{top}$ to $M_W$ in…
We study the top quark decay to b quark and W boson in the NonCommutative Standard Model (NCSM). The lowest contribution to the decay comes from the terms quadratic in the matrix describing the noncommutative (NC) effects while the linear…
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…
Using a frequentist analysis of experimental constraints within two versions of the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we derive the predictions for the top quark mass, m_t, and the W boson mass, m_W. We find that the…
We review the highlights of quark mixing, particle-antiparticle mixing, CP violation and rare K- and B-decays in the Standard Model. The top quark discovery, the precise measurement of its mass, the improved knowledge of the couplings…
Top quark and Higgs boson decays induced by flavor-changing neutra currents (FCNC) are very much suppressed in the Standard Model (SM). Their detection in colliders like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), Next Linear Collider (NLC) or…
Precision studies of top quark properties provide a unique playground to test the predictions of the standard model and to search for new physics. Reviewed results from the CMS experiment done with the data collected at 8 TeV include…
The combination of precise experimental measurements and theoretical predictions allows to extract Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements or constrain flavor changing processes in the standard model. Focusing at theoretical…
At proposed high energy linear e+e- colliders a large number of W bosons and top quarks will be produced. We evaluate the potential precision to which the decay branching ratios into the various quark species can be measured, implying also…
If new physics (e.g. SUSY) does not show up as direct evidence at the LHC, it could still be observable in FCNC processes involving the $t$-quark. We take a close look at the process $t\to c + h/Z$ and show that its branching ratio in the…
We present a brief overview of the recent theoretical progress to describe the K_{l2} and K_{l3} decays. We discuss the interesting probes of the Standard Model offered by these decays such as the extraction of |V_{us}| and the test of the…
