Signatures for the Charged Higgs Decay of the Top Quark at the Tevatron

We investigate the effect that a charged Higgs decay channel for the top quark has on the signature for top quark pair production at the Tevatron. The branching ratios for the various multijet and multilepton final states arising from top pair production are obtained for a wide range of values for tangent beta and the charged Higgs boson mass. In addition, the effect of the charged Higgs decay of the top quark on the 2 b-tagged jets and 1 lepton channel is considered.

A Separate SU(2) for the Third Family: Topflavor

We consider the extended electroweak gauge group SU(2)_1 \times SU(2)_2 \times U(1)_Y where the first and second families of fermions couple to SU(2)_1 while the third family couples to SU(2)_2. Bounds based an precision electroweak observables and heavy gauge boson searches are placed on the new parameters of the theory. The extra gauge bosons can be as light as about a TeV and can be discovered at future colliders such as the NLC and LHC for a wide range of the parameter space. FCNC interactions are also considered.
