    Dynamics of a two-level system under the simultaneous influence of a spin bath and a boson bath

    Full text link
    We study dynamics of a two-level system coupled simultaneously to a pair of dissimilar reservoirs, namely, a spin bath and a boson bath, which are connected via finite interbath coupling. It is found that the steady-state energy transfer in the two-level system increases with its coupling to the spin bath while optimal transfer occurs at intermediate coupling in the transient process. If the two-level system is strongly coupled to the spin bath, the population transfer is unidirectional barring minor population oscillations of minute amplitudes. If the spin bath is viewed as an atomic ensemble, robust generation of macroscopic superposition states exists against parameter variations of the two-level system and the boson bath.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure

    One-loop QCD correction to top pair production in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity at the LHC

    Full text link
    In this work, we investigate the one-loop QCD correction to top pair production in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity at the LHC. We calculate the relative correction of the top pair production cross section and top-antitop spin correlation at the LHC for s=8,14\sqrt{s}=8,14 TeV. We find that the relative corrections of top pair production cross section can reach about −0.35%-0.35\%, and the top-antitop spin correlation can reach 1.7%1.7\%(2%2\%) at the 8(14) TeV LHC in the favorable parameter space

    One-loop effects on top pair production in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity at the LHC

    Full text link
    In this work, we systematically investigate the one-loop corrections to ttˉt\bar{t} production in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT) at the LHC for s=8,14\sqrt{s}=8,14 TeV. We focus on the effects of LHT particles on ttˉt\bar{t} cross section, polarization asymmetries, spin correlation and charge asymmetry at the LHC. We also study the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at Tevatron and its correlations with the LHC observables. We found that: (1) the contributions of the LHT particles to ttˉt\bar{t} production can only reach about 1% at the 14 TeV LHC. Meanwhile, the anomalous top quark forward-backward asymmetry at Tevatron is also hardly to be explained in the LHT model. (2) the parity violating asymmetries in ttˉt\bar{t} production, such as left-right asymmetry ∣ALR∣|A_{LR}| and the polarization ∣Pt∣|P_t| can respectively reach 1.1% and 0.5%, which may have the potential to provide a signal of LHT at the LHC.Comment: Accepted for publication in the European Physical Journal
