Probing Ztt¯ couplings using Z boson polarization in ZZ production at hadron

Abstract: We propose to utilize the polarization information of the Z bosons in ZZ production, via the gluon-gluon fusion process gg → ZZ, to probe the Ztt gauge coupling. The contribution of longitudinally polarized Z bosons is sensitive to the axial-vector component (a t) of the Ztt coupling. We demonstrate that the angular distribution of the charged lepton from Z boson decays serves well for measuring the polarization of Z bosons and the determination of a t. We show that ZZ production via the gg → ZZ process comple… Show more

“…The basis of our analysis is also formed by extrapolating existing searches to 3=ab and eventually to 100 TeV. In particular, when statistics is not a limiting factor, a more fine-grained picture can be obtained by exploiting differential information in more detail (see also a recent proposal to employ polarization information in nontop channels [95]). The latter, however, needs to be considered again in the context of experimental and theoretical limitations.…”

“…It is expected that, due to the Goldstone boson equivalence theorem [28,29], top-quark corrections at two-loops could be significant as well, especially for longitudinally polarised Z bosons at high invariant mass. This configuration is of particular interest, since it provides unique opportunities for measurement of an anomalous ttZ coupling [30,31]. Contributions from top-quark at twoloops were calculated in [32,33] using the large top-mass approximation and subsequently improved using Padé approximants in [34].…”
