Influence of Z' boson on top quark spin correlations at the LHC

We study top-antitop pair production and top spin correlations in a model with an electrically neutral massive gauge boson, Z', at the Large Hadron Collider. In addition to the Standard Model processes, the Z' contributes to the top-antitop pair production process in the s-channel. Choosing a kinematical region of top invariant mass around the Z' resonance pole, we find sizable deviations of the top-antitop pair production cross section and the top spin correlations from those of the Standard Model.

Status and Promise of Particle Interferometry in Heavy-Ion Collisions

After five years of running at RHIC, and on the eve of the LHC heavy-ion program, we highlight the status of femtoscopic measurements. We emphasize the role interferometry plays in addressing fundamental questions about the state of matter created in such collisions, and present an enumerated list of measurements, analyses and calculations that are needed to advance the field in the coming years.

Top quark spin correlations in the Randall-Sundrum model at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

In the Randall-Sundrum model, we study top-antitop pair production and top spin correlations at the Large Hadron Collider. In addition to the Standard Model processes, there is a new contribution to the top-antitop pair production process mediated by graviton Kaluza-Klein modes in the s-channel. We calculate the density matrix for the top-antitop pair production including the new contribution. With a reasonable parameter choice in the Randall-Sundrum model, we find a sizable deviation of the top-antitop pair production cross section and the top spin correlations from those in the Standard Model. In particular, resonant productions of the graviton Kaluza-Klein modes give rise to a remarkable enhancement of such a deviation.

Top Spin Correlations in Theories with Large Extra-Dimensions at the Large Hadron Collider

In theories with large extra dimensions, we study the top spin correlations at the Large Hadron Collider. The s-channel process mediated by graviton Kaluza-Klein modes contributes to the top-antitop pair production in addition to the Standard Model processes, and affects the resultant top spin correlations. We calculated the full density matrix for the top-antitop pair production. With the fundamental scale of the extra dimensional theory below 2 TeV, we find a sizable deviation of the top spin correlations from the Standard Model one.
