Lorentz and CPT Violation in Top-Quark Production and Decay
arXiv:1509.08929 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.93.036005
Abstract
The prospects are explored for testing Lorentz and CPT symmetry in the top-quark sector. We present the relevant Lagrange density, discuss physical observables, and describe the signals to be sought in experiments. For top-antitop pair production via quark or gluon fusion with subsequent semileptonic or hadronic decays, we obtain the matrix element in the presence of Lorentz violation using the narrow-width approximation. The issue of testing CPT symmetry in the top-quark sector is also addressed. We demonstrate that single-top production and decay is well suited to a search for CPT violation, and we present the matrix elements for single-top production in each of the four tree-level channels. Our results are applicable to searches for Lorentz violation and studies of CPT symmetry in collider experiments, including notably high-statistics top-antitop and single-top production at the Large Hadron Collider.
