Searches for Rare and Beyond the Standard Model Top Quark Decays at the Tevatron

TL;DR

The Tevatron experiments searched for rare and beyond Standard Model top quark decays using datasets up to 7.5fb^-1, aiming to identify deviations indicating new physics.

Contribution

This paper provides an overview of searches for rare and BSM top quark decays conducted at the Tevatron with extensive datasets.

Findings

No significant deviations from the Standard Model were observed.

Constraints on BSM models were established based on decay searches.

The analyses set limits on hypothetical particles involved in top decays.

Abstract

The Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 investigated the top quark decay in search of deviations from the Standard Model. Rare processes expected in the Standard Model as well as decays including hypothetical particles of models beyond the Standard Model were investigated. This contribution gives an overview of the studies that were performed with datasets of up to 7.5fb^-1 of integrated luminosity.
