Probing Non-standard Top Couplings Using spin-correlation

Abstract

Top spin correlation has been shown to be nontrivial in hadronic top-pair production, and can be realized by the asymmetries of the decay products of the top quark and antiquark. We show in this work that the top spin correlation is a sensitive probe to the anomalous top-quark couplings beyond the standard model. Specifically, we look at the anomalous chromomagnetic and chromoelectric dipole moments, as well as a right-handed component in the weak decay of the top quark. We found a few measurable asymmetries formed by the decay products of the top-quark pair that vary in accord with the spin correlation.
