Research on the electromagnetic and weak dipole moments of the tau-lepton at the Bestest Little Higgs Model

In this paper, using the Bestest Little Higgs Model (BLHM) we calculate at the one-loop level the contributions to the Anomalous Magnetic Dipole Moment (AMDM) and Anomalous Weak Magnetic Dipole Moment (AWMDM) of the tau-lepton. The implications from this model are study, emphasizing the contributions of the new physics induced by the new scalar and vector bosons of the BLHM: $S_i=H_0, A_0, ϕ^{0}, η^{0}, σ, H^{\pm}, ϕ^{\pm}, η^{\pm}$, and $V_i=Z', W'$, because these quantify the new physics. With these new contributions we estimated bounds on both the real and imaginary parts of the AMDM and AWMDM of the tau-lepton. Our study complements other one-loop level research performed on models beyond the Standard Model.

Chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark in the Bestest Little Higgs model

We calculate the chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark, $\hatμ_t$, in the context of the Bestest Little Higgs model. This extension of the Standard Model aims to solve the hierarchy problem without fine tuning, by introducing one-loop corrections to the Higgs boson mass through heavy top quark partners and heavy gauge bosons. We found that the largest resulting value for the chromomagnetic is $\hatμ_t\sim 10^{-5}$ and the lowest is around $10^{-6}$, mainly due to the Higgs boson of the Standard Model, which couples to both the top quark of the Standard Model and its heavy partners. Also, we present a wide variety of new Feynman rules involved in our calculation.

Revisiting the top quark chromomagnetic dipole moment in the SM

We revisit the anomalous chromomagnetic dipole moment in the Standard Model and show that its triple gluon vertex contribution, with the on-shell gluon ($q^2=0$), generates an infrared divergent pole. Consequently, the chromomagnetic dipole should not be perturbatively evaluated at $q^2=0$. Focusing on this top quark anomaly, denoted as $\hatμ_t(q^2)$, we compute it with the off-shell gluon with a large momentum transfer, just as the $α_s(m_Z^2)$ convention scale, for both spacelike $q^2=-m_Z^2$ and timelike $q^2=m_Z^2$ cases. We found that $\hatμ_t(-m_Z^2)$ $=$ $-0.0224$ $-0.000925i$ and $\hatμ_t(m_Z^2)$ $=$ $-0.0133$ $-0.0267i$. Our $\mathrm{Re}\thinspace\hatμ_t(-m_Z^2)$ matches well with the current experimental value $\hatμ_t^\mathrm{Exp}=-0.024_{-0.009}^{+0.013}(\mathrm{stat})_{-0.011}^{+0.016}(\mathrm{syst})$, and the $\mathrm{Im}\thinspace\hatμ_t(-m_Z^2)$ part is induced by flavour changing charged currents.

Revisiting the rare $H\to q_iq_j$ decays in the Standard Model

We revisit the rare decays of the Higgs boson to two different quarks in the Standard Model, which arise at the one-loop level. We perform Taylor series expansions to the complete form factors of the decay amplitudes, according to their different mass hierarchies, this allow us to take full advantage of the GIM mechanism to eliminate spurious contributions and retain those that truly contribute. We found that Br$(H\to uc)$=$5.00\times10^{-20}$, Br$(H\to ds)$=$1.19\times10^{-11}$, Br$(H\to db)$=$5.16\times10^{-9}$ and Br$(H\to sb)$=$1.15\times10^{-7}$. Our predictions for the $H\to uc,ds$ decays disagree with previous results in the literature.

Rare decays of the top quark mediated by Z' gauge bosons and flavor violation

The rare top quark decays mediated by a new neutral massive gauge boson that is predicted in models with extended gauge symmetries are studied. We focus on the processes $t\to cV, uV$ induced at the one loop level, where $V =γ, g$, by considering different extended models. It is found that, within a broad range of mass of the new neutral gauge boson, the models predict branching ratios for the decays in study that are competitive with respect to the corresponding branching ratios in the standard model. In order to establish bound on our branching ratios, we consider the recent experimental bounds as $m_{Z^\prime}\geq$ 3.8-4.5 TeV, depending on the model, which also impose restrictions on our calculation. Even in this case, the resulting branching ratios are of the same order of magnitude as that predicted by the standard model. It should be noted that for the case of two models studied here, since no experimental bound exists to compare with, the results could be important, as they are, in the best of cases, two orders of magnitude larger than the predicted by the standard model.

Flavor violation in chromo- and electromagnetic dipole moments induced by $Z^\prime$ gauge bosons and a brief revisit of the Standard Model

The electromagnetic dipole moments of the tau lepton and the chromoelectromagnetic dipole moments of the top quark are estimated via flavor-changing neutral currents, mediated by a new neutral massive gauge boson. We predict them in the context of models beyond the Standard Model with extended current sectors, in which simple analytic expressions for the dipole moments are presented. For the different $Z^\prime$ gauge boson considered, the best prediction for the magnetic dipole moment of the tau lepton, $|a_τ|$, is of the order of $10^{-8}$, while the highest value for the electric one, $|d_τ|$, corresponds to $10^{-24}$ $e\,$cm; our main result for the chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark, $|\hatμ_t|$, is $10^{-6}$, and the value for the chromoelectric one, $|d_t|$, can be as high as $10^{-22}$ $e\,$cm. We compare our results, revisiting the corresponding Standard Model predictions, in which the chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark is carefully evaluated, finding explicit imaginary contributions.

Heavy neutral pseudoscalar decays into gauge bosons in the Littlest Higgs Model

We study two-body decays of a new neutral pseudoscalar into gauge bosons within the context of the Littlest Higgs model. Concretely, the $Φ^P \to WW, VV, gg$ processes induced at the one-loop level, with $V=γ, Z$, are considered. Since the branching ratios of the $Φ^P \to VV$ decays result very suppressed, only the $Φ^P \to WW, gg$ processes are thoroughly studied. The branching ratios for the $Φ^P \to gg$ and $Φ^P \to WW$ decays are of the order of $10^{-4}$ and $10^{-6}$, respectively, for $f$ around 2 TeV, which represents the global symmetry breaking scale of the theory. The production cross section of the $Φ^P$ boson via gluon fusion at LHC is estimated.

Heavy neutral scalar decays into electroweak gauge bosons in the Littlest Higgs Model

We study the heavy neutral scalar decays into standard model electroweak gauge bosons in the context of the Littlest Higgs model. We focus our attention on the $Φ^0 \to WW, γV$ processes induced at the one-loop level, with $V=γ, Z$. Since the branching ratios of the $Φ^0 \to γV$ decays result very suppressed, only the $Φ^0 \to WW$ process is analyzed in the framework of possible experimental scenarios by using heavy scalar masses between 1.6 TeV until 3.3 TeV. The branching ratio for the $Φ^0 \to WW$ decay is of the order of $10^{-3}$ throughout the interval 2 TeV $< f <$ 4 TeV, which represent the global symmetry breaking scale of the theory. Thus, it is estimated the associated production cross section for the $pp\to Φ^0 X\to WW$, finding around ten events for $m_{Φ^0}\approx 1.6$ TeV at best.

The $Z_H \to γH$ decay in the Littlest Higgs Model

We present the calculation of the $Z_H \to γH$ decay in the context of the Littlest Higgs model at one-loop level. Our calculations include the contributions of fermions, scalars and gauge bosons in accordance with the most recent experimental constraints on the parameters space of the model. We find branching ratios of the order of $10^{-5}$ for the energy scale $f=2,3,4$ TeV on the $0.1<c<0.9$ region. In order to provide a complementary study we calculated the production cross section of the $Z_H$ boson in $pp$ collisions at Large Hadron Collider with a center of mass energy of 14 TeV. By using the integrated luminosity projected for the Large Hadron Collider in the last stage of operation, we estimated the number of events for this process. Moreover, we analyze the SM background for the Higgs-photon associated production and found that the $pp\to Z_H X \to γH$ production is above the SM background.

Lorentz-violating effects on pair production of W bosons in photon collisions

We examine Lorentz-violating effects that could appear through deviations of the Standard Model gauge couplings WWgamma and WWgammagamma. These new physics effects are explored on the gamma gamma -> WW reaction at the International Linear Collider. In particular, the associated helicity amplitudes are computed in the context of the Standard Model Extension (which is a model-independent approach to CPT and Lorentz violation) and the Effective Lagrangian Model (which incorporates new physics effects that respect CPT and Lorentz violation). We perform an exhaustive study of the polarized differential cross sections to stand out effects related to Lorentz symmetry violation, where it is evidenced that the effects of Lorentz symmetry violation are more sensitive to the presence of the b constant background field. We found that for the $(\pm,\pm,(L,T+T,L))$ polarization state, only Standard Model Extension and Effective Lagrangian Model contribute at the lowest order, however, both types of new physics effects are clearly distinguished, being dominant the convoluted cross section of the Standard Model Extension in around 4 orders of magnitude. For this polarization state, at the last stage of operation of International Linear Collider, it is expected an integrated luminosity of 10^3 fb^{-1}, finding around of 2 events for a Lorentz-violating energy scale of 32 TeV.

Effects of Lorentz violation through the $γe\to Wν_e$ process in the Standard Model Extension

Physics beyond the Fermi scale could show up through deviations of the gauge couplings predicted by the electroweak Yang-Mills sector. This possibility is explored in the context of the International Linear Collider (ILC) through the helicity amplitudes for the gamma e -> W nu_e reaction to which contributes the trilinear WWgamma coupling. The new physics effects on this vertex are parametrized in a model-independent fashion through an effective electroweak Yang-Mills sector, which is constructed by considering two essentially different sources of new physics. In one scenario, Lorentz violation will be considered exclusively as the source of new physics effects. This type of new physics is considered in an extension of the Standard Model that is known as the Standard Model Extension (SME), which is an effective field theory that contemplates CPT and Lorentz violation in a model-independent fashion. Any source of new physics that respects the Lorentz symmetry, will be considered within the general context of the well known Conventional Effective Standard Model (CESM) extension. Both the SME and the CESM descriptions include gauge invariant operators of dimension higher than four, which, in general, transform as Lorentz tensors of rank higher than zero. Whereas in the former theory observer Lorentz invariants are constructed by contracting these operators with constant Lorentz tensors, in the latter the corresponding Lorentz invariant interactions are obtained contracting such operators with products of the metric tensor. We focus our study on the possibility of experimentally distinguish both types of new physics effects on the WWgamma vertex. It is found that for a new physics scale of the same order of magnitude and under determined circumstances, both types of new physics effects will be clearly distinguished.

Study of the lepton flavor-violating $Z'\toτμ$ decay

The lepton flavor violating $Z^{\prime}\toτμ$ decay is studied in the context of several extended models that predict the existence of the new gauge boson named $Z^\prime$. A calculation of the strength of the lepton flavor violating $Z^\primeμτ$ coupling is presented by using the most general renormalizable Lagrangian that includes lepton flavor violation. We used the experimental value of the muon magnetic dipole moment to bound this coupling, from which the $\mathrm{Re}(Ω_{Lμτ}Ω^\ast_{Rμτ})$ parameter is constrained and it is found that $\mathrm{Re}(Ω_{Lμτ}Ω^\ast_{Rμτ})\sim 10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. Alongside, we employed the experimental restrictions over the $τ\toμγ$ and $τ\toμμ^+μ^-$ processes in the context of several models that predict the existence of the $Z^\prime$ gauge boson to bound the mentioned coupling. The most restrictive bounds come from the calculation of the three-body decay. For this case, it was found that the most restrictive result is provided by a vector-like coupling, denoted as $|Ω_{μτ}|^2$, for the $Z_χ$ case, finding around $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. We used this information to estimate the branching ratio for the $Z^\prime\toτμ$ decay. According to the analyzed models the least optimistic result is provided by the Sequential $Z$ model, which is of the order of $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass around 2 TeV.

Z'tc coupling from D0-D0 mixing

We bound the $Z^\prime tc$ coupling using the $D^{0}-\bar{D^{0}}$ meson mixing system. We obtained such coupling which is less than $5.75\times 10^{-2}$. We have studied the $Z^\prime$ boson resonance considering single top production in the $e^+e^-\to Z^\prime\to tc$ process. We obtained the number of events which is expected to be less than $10^7$ at the International Linear Collider scenario. We get a branching ratio of the order of $10^{-2}$ for the $Z^\prime\to tc$ decay.

Bounding the $Z^\prime tc$ coupling from $D^{0}-\bar{D^{0}}$ mixing and single top production at the ILC

In the present work the $Z^\prime tc$ coupling is bounded by using the current experimental data on the $D^{0}-\bar{D^{0}}$ meson-mixing system. It is found that the strength associated to this coupling is less than $5.75\times 10^{-2}$. The single top production through the $e^+e^-\to Z^\prime\to tc$ process at the $Z^\prime$ boson resonance is studied and we found that around $10^7$ $tc$ events will be expected at the International Linear Collider. For the $Z^\prime\to tc$ decay, we predict a branching ratio of $10^{-2}$.

Higgs mediated flavor violating top quark decays t --> u_i H, u_i gamma, u_i gamma gamma, and the process gamma gamma --> t c in effective theories

The rare top quark couplings $tu_iγ$ and $tu_iγγ$ ($u_i=u,c$) induced at the one-loop level by a flavor violating $tu_iH$ vertex are studied within the context of an effective Yukawa sector that incorporates $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$-invariant operators of up to dimension six. Data on the recently observed $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing are employed to constrain the $tu_iH$ vertex, which is then used to predict the $t\to u_iH$, $t\to u_iγ$, and $t\to u_iγγ$ decays, as well as the $γγ\to \bar{t}u_i+t\bar{u}_i$ reaction in the context of the ILC. It is found that the $t\to cH$ and $t\to cγγ$ decays can reach sizable branching ratios as high as $5\times 10^{-3}$ and $10^{-4}$, respectively. As for the $t\to cγ$ decay, it can have a branching ratio of $5\times 10^{-8}$ that is about 6 orders of magnitude larger than the standard model prediction, which, however, is still very small to be detected. As for $tc$ production, it is found that, due to the presence of a resonant effect in the convoluted cross section $σ(e^+e^-\to γγ\to t\bar{c}+\bar{t}c)$, about $(0.5 - 2.7)\times 10^{3}$ $tc$ events may be produced at the ILC for a value of the Higgs mass near to the top mass.

Bounding the B_s -> gamma gamma decay from Higgs mediated FCNC transitions

The Higgs mediated flavor violating bottom-strange quarks transitions induced at the one-loop level by a nondiagonal $Hbs$ coupling are studied within the context of an effective Yukawa sector that comprises $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$-invariant operators of up to dimension-six. The most recent experimental result on $B\to X_sγ$ with hard photons is employed to constraint the $Hbs$ vertex, which is used to estimate the branching ratio for the $B_s\to γγ$ decay. It is found that the $B_s\to γγ$ decay can reach a branching ratio of the order of $4\times 10^{-8}$, which is 2 orders of magnitude more stringent than the current experimental limit.

It is found that $Br(t\to uγ)<4\times 10^{-4}$ and $Br(t\to ug)<2\times 10^{-3}$, which still may be within reach of the LHC collider.

Effective Lagrangian description of Higgs mediated flavor violating electromagnetic transitions: implications on lepton flavor violation

Higgs mediated flavor violating electromagnetic interactions, induced at the one--loop level by a nondiagonal $Hf_if_j$ vertex, with $f_i$ and $f_j$ charged leptons or quarks, are studied within the context of a completely general effective Yukawa sector that comprises $SU_L(2)\times U_Y(1)$--invariant operators of up to dimension--six. Exact formulae for the one--loop $γf_if_j$ and $γγf_if_j$ couplings are presented and their related processes used to study the phenomena of Higgs mediated lepton flavor violation. The experimental limit on the $μ\to eγ$ decay is used to derive a bound on the branching ratio of the $μ\to eγγ$ transition, which is 6 orders of magnitude stronger than the current experimental limit. Previous results on the $τ\to μγ$ and $τ\to μγγ$ decays are reproduced. The possibility of detecting signals of lepton flavor violation at $γγ$ colliders is explored through the $γγ\to l_il_j$ reaction, putting special emphasis on the $τμ$ final state. Using the bound imposed on the $Hτμ$ vertex by the current experimental data on the muon anomalous magnetic moment, it is found that about half a hundred events may be produced in the International Linear Collider.
