Top couplings and top partners
J.A. Aguilar-Saavedra, M. Perez-Victoria
TL;DR
This paper reviews model-independent top quark couplings to Higgs and gauge bosons, analyzes heavy vector-like quark mixing, and discusses implications for LHC searches for top partners.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive, model-independent framework for understanding top quark couplings and explores the phenomenology of heavy top partners in beyond Standard Model theories.
Findings
Couplings of top quark to Higgs and gauge bosons can be described independently of specific models.
Heavy vector-like quarks mixing with the third family modify top couplings.
Implications for LHC searches for top partners are discussed.
Abstract
We review the model-independent description of the couplings of the top quark to the Higgs and gauge bosons in theories beyond the Standard Model. Then we examine these couplings in the case of arbitrary heavy vector-like quarks mixing with the third family. We also discuss the couplings of these top partners, and comment on implications for LHC searches.
