Weak Interactions of Top

Ann Heinson (UC Riverside; DØ)
Tim Stelzer (U Illinois; Theory)

Charge: Branching fraction of top into Wb, top width and single-top cross section, measurement of |Vtb| in single-top production, the W decay angular distribution. Except for the possibility of a sequential fourth generation, we take the top to have standard weak interactions. How well can we measure these properties, and what do the measurements mean?

Relevant Literature

  1. Papers on single top quark physics at the Tevatron in the standard model and beyond
  2. Papers on weak decays of the top quark
