Kinematical distributions of decay products of the top quark carry information on the polarisation of the top as well as on any possible new physics in the decay of the top quark. We construct observables in the form of asymmetries in the…
We calculate the cross section of the process e^+e^- \to t\bar t near threshold by resumming Coulomb-like terms with next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) accuracy. The nonrelativistic Green function formalism and the method of ``direct matching''…
We show that the measurement of the $Z$ polarization in the $e^+e^-\to t\bar t Z$ process would allow an interesting determination of the role of the top quark mass. This can be used for testing the possibility of top compositeness or of…
We investigate the prospects to observe effects of transverse polarization of top quarks in $pp,p\bar{p}\to t\bar{t}X$. QCD absorptive parts generate a polarization of top quarks and antiquarks transverse to the production plane in the…
An optimal-observable analysis of the angular and energy distributions of the leptons and bottom quarks in the process e+e- --> tt-bar --> l^{+-}/b(b-bar)... has been performed in order to measure the most general top-quark couplings to…
In this paper, we present an improved analysis of the top-quark pair production via the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to \gamma^{*}\to t\bar{t}$ near the threshold region up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) QCD corrections. Near the…
Electroweak dipole moments of the top quark are conjectured and their effect in polarized $e^+e^-$ collisions is examined for the expectation values of two different $CP$-odd observables. One of these observables probes the real part of the…
We determine the real parts of electroweak matching conditions relevant for top quark pair production close to threshold in e+e- annihilation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) order. Numerically the corrections are comparable to…
Top quark pair production by (polarized) gamma gamma collisions offers an interesting testing ground of the Standard Model and its extensions. In this Letter we present results for differential cross sections of top quark pair production…
Predictions for the total cross section for e+e- -> t tbar near threshold are reviewed. The renormalization group improved results at NNLL order have improved convergence and reduced scale dependence relative to fixed order results at NNLO.…
Full one-loop electroweak-corrections for an $e^-e^+\rightarrow t \bar{t}$ process associated with sequential $t\rightarrow b \mu\nu_\mu$ decay are discussed. At the one-loop level, the spin-polarization effects of the initial electron and…
In supersymmetric models, scalar top quarks, or stops, generically have parity-violating couplings to top quarks. As a result, tops produced in stop decays should be polarized. In this paper, we will argue that this effect may be observable…
We investigate the degree of spin polarization of single top quarks in the $e\gamma$ collision via the process $e^{+} \gamma \to t \bar{b} \bar{\nu_{e}}$ with center of mass energies $\sqrt{s}$=0.5, 1 and 1.5 TeV of the parental linear…
Polarization observables in top quark decays are sensitive probes of possible new physics contributions to the interactions of the heavy third generation quarks. Within an effective theory approach such new physics contributions can be…
We consider top quark production and decay in the narrow width approximation and study if the polarisation effects, that manifest themselves in correlations of angular distributions of particles from top quark decays and final state jets in…
We investigate the potential of $e\gamma$ collisions to probe anomalous $Wtb$ couplings via the polarized single top quark production process $e^{+} \gamma \to t \bar{b} \bar{\nu_{e}}$. We find 95% confidence level limits on the anomalous…
The effect of anomalous chromomagnetic (mu) and chromoelectric couplings (d) of the gluon to the top quark are considered in e+ e- --> t tbar, with unpolarized and longitudinally polarized electron beams. The total cross section, as well as…
We consider the differential cross section of electron-positron pair production by a high-energy photon in a strong Coulomb field close to the end of the electron or positron spectrum. When the momentum transfer largely exceeds the electron…
We study the effects of QCD corrections to the process $e^+e^-\rightarrow t\bar t+X\rightarrow b\ell^+\nu \bar b\ell^-\bar \nu+X$ above threshold. We show how to treat consistently to ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ the gluon radiation in both the…
The total cross section for top quark pair production close to threshold in e+e- annihilation is investigated. Details are given about the calculation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order. The summation of logarithms leads to a…
