Combination of CDF and D0 measurements of theWboson helicity in top quark decays

Abstract: We report the combination of recent measurements of the helicity of the W boson from top quark decay by the CDF and D0 collaborations, based on data samples corresponding to integrated luminosities of 2:7-5:4 fb À1 of p p collisions collected during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Combining measurements that simultaneously determine the fractions of W bosons with longitudinal (f 0 ) and righthanded (f þ ) helicities, we find f 0 ¼ 0:722 AE 0:081½AE0:062ðstatÞ AE 0:052ðsystÞ and f þ ¼ À0:033 AE 0:046½… Show more

“…In fact, a precise computation [34] which includes the NNLO QCD corrections as well the leading electroweak contributions yields F L = 0.687 (5). This value is well within the experimental error bands, since an early combination of CDF and D0 Tevatron Run II data [35] yielded F L = 0682 ± 0.057, while CDF [36] obtained F L = 0.726 ± 0.094 using the full set of Tevatron Run II data. At the LHC, CMS has found F L = 0.682 ± 0.045 in the 7 TeV run [37], and F L = 0.720 ± 0.054 in the 8 TeV run [38].…”

“…However, within the models studied so far for tensor couplings, the magnitude of g R is expected to be < 0.01 [14,15]. Measurements of the W boson polarisation fractions [16][17][18][19] are sensitive to the magnitude of combinations of anomalous couplings. In order to obtain constraints on Re [g R ] in those measurements, the anomalous couplings are taken to be purely real, V R = g L = 0 is assumed and V L is fixed to 1.…”

“…[4,5] based on the calculations of top-quark self-energy as an expansion in m 2 W =m 2 t . All the previous calculations at NNLO concentrate only on the inclusive decay width, but the differential decay rate is also of substantial interest, especially when considering the measurement of top-quark mass [6] and electroweak (EW) couplings [7]. In particular, it is an important ingredient in a fully differential calculation of top-quark pair production [8] and decay at NNLO in QCD.…”
