    Bottom partner B' and Zb production at the LHC

    Get PDF
    Some new physics models, such as "beautiful mirrors" scenario, predict the existence of the bottom partner B′B'. Considering the constraints from the data for the Z→bbˉZ\rightarrow b\bar{b} branching ratio RbR_{b} and the FBFB asymmetry AFBbA_{FB}^{b} on the relevant free parameters, we calculate the contributions of B′B' to the cross section σ(Zb)\sigma(Zb) and the ZZ polarization asymmetry AZA_{Z} for ZbZb production at the LHCLHC. We find that the bottom partner B′B' can generate significant corrections to σ(Zb)\sigma(Zb) and AZA_{Z}, which might be detected in near future.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures.

    Heavy quark dynamics in a strongly magnetized quark-gluon plasma

    Full text link
    We present a calculation of the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficients in a quark-gluon plasma under the presence of a strong external magnetic field, within the Lowest Landau Level (LLL) approximation. In particular, we apply the Hard Thermal Loop (HTL) technique for the resummed effective gluon propagator, generalized for a hot and magnetized medium. Using the derived effective HTL gluon propagator and the LLL quark propagator we analytically derive the full results for the longitudinal and transverse momentum diffusion coefficients as well as the energy losses for charm and bottom quarks beyond the static limit. We also show numerical results for these coefficients in two special cases where the heavy quark is moving either parallel or perpendicular to the external magnetic field.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figures; Version published in Phys Rev D 10

    Excited Heavy Quarkonium Production at the LHC through WW-Boson Decays

    Full text link
    Sizable amount of heavy-quarkonium events can be produced through WW-boson decays at the LHC. Such channels will provide a suitable platform to study the heavy-quarkonium properties. The "improved trace technology", which disposes the amplitude M{\cal M} at the amplitude-level, is helpful for deriving compact analytical results for complex processes. As an important new application, in addition to the production of the lower-level Fock states ∣(QQβ€²Λ‰)[1S]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[1S]> and ∣(QQβ€²Λ‰)[1P]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[1P]>, we make a further study on the production of higher-excited ∣(QQβ€²Λ‰)>|(Q\bar{Q'})>-quarkonium Fock states ∣(QQβ€²Λ‰)[2S]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[2S]>, ∣(QQβ€²Λ‰)[3S]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[3S]> and ∣(QQβ€²Λ‰)[2P]>|(Q\bar{Q'})[2P]>. Here ∣(QQβ€²Λ‰)>|(Q\bar{Q'})> stands for the ∣(ccΛ‰)>|(c\bar{c})>-charmonium, ∣(cbΛ‰)>|(c\bar{b})>-quarkonium and ∣(bbΛ‰)>|(b\bar{b})>-bottomonium respectively. We show that sizable amount of events for those higher-excited states can also be produced at the LHC. Therefore, we need to take them into consideration for a sound estimation.Comment: 7 pages, 9 figures and 6 tables. Typo errors are corrected, more discussions and two new figures have been adde

    Doubly Heavy Baryon Production at A High Luminosity e+eβˆ’e^+ e^- Collider

    Full text link
    Within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, we make a detailed discussion on the doubly heavy baryon production through the e+eβˆ’e^+ e^- annihilation channel, e+eβˆ’β†’Ξ³/Z0β†’ΞžQQβ€²+QΛ‰+Qβ€²Λ‰e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\gamma/Z^0 \rightarrow \Xi_{QQ^{\prime}} +\bar{Q} +\bar{Q^{\prime}}, at a high luminosity e+eβˆ’e^{+}e^{-} collider. Here Q(β€²)Q^{(\prime)} stands for the heavy bb or cc quark. In addition to the channel through the usually considered diquark state (QQβ€²)[3S1]3Λ‰(QQ^{\prime})[^3S_1]_{\bf\bar{3}}, contributions from the channels through other same important diquark states such as (QQβ€²)[1S0]6(QQ^{\prime})[^1S_0]_{\bf 6} have also been discussed. Uncertainties for the total cross sections are predicted by taking mc=1.80Β±0.30m_c=1.80\pm0.30 GeV and mb=5.10Β±0.40m_b=5.10\pm0.40 GeV. At a super ZZ-factory running around the Z0Z^0 mass and with a high luminosity up to L∝1034∼1036cmβˆ’2sβˆ’1{\cal L} \propto 10^{34}\sim 10^{36}{\rm cm}^{-2} {\rm s}^{-1}, we estimate that about 1.1Γ—105∼71.1\times10^{5 \sim 7} Ξcc\Xi_{cc} events, 2.6Γ—105∼72.6\times10^{5 \sim 7} Ξbc\Xi_{bc} events and 1.2Γ—104∼61.2\times 10^{4 \sim 6} Ξbb\Xi_{bb} events can be generated in one operation year. Such a ZZ-factory, thus, will provide a good platform for studying the doubly heavy baryons in comparable to the CERN large hadronic collider.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures. To be published in Phys.Rev.
