Residual heavy quark and boson interactions: the role of the $Zb\bar{b}$ vertex

Abstract

We establish the most general parametrization of the new physics tested by present precision measurements and possibly responsible for any deviation of the $Z\to b\bar{b}$ amplitude from its Standard Model result, under the assumption that it is CP symmetric and is induced by degrees of freedom which are too heavy to be ~directly produced at the future Colliders. This is achieved by writing the complete list of the $SU(3{)}_c\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge invariant and CP symmetric $dim=6$ operators, involving only quarks of the third family and/or bosons. The quark ~containing operators are divided into two classes, according to whether they involve the $t_R$ field or not. Each class contains 14 quark operators. We then proceed to derive the constraints from present precision measurements, on the first class of the 14 $t_R$ involving operators. We show that the $Zb\bar{b}$ vertex plays a fundamental role to discriminate not only between these operators, but also between this whole scheme and an alternative one like \eg\@ an MSSM description with light chargino and neutral Higgs.
