In light of the recent measurements of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Fermilab Tevatron experiment, which in some regions of the parameter space shows a discrepancy of 3 sigma compared to the standard model prediction, we analyze top quark pair production and asymmetry in the context of left-right models both at the Tevatron and Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We use the minimal manifest left-right model and an asymmetric left-right model where gauge couplings and flavor mixing in the right-handed sector are allowed to differ from those in the left-handed sector. We explore the consequences of including effects from W-R and Z(R) gauge bosons, consistent with phenomenological constraints from meson mixing and new bounds from ATLAS and CMS, for the t (t) over bar cross section, invariant mass distribution and forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron, and predict their values at the LHC. We show that, choosing parameter benchmarks for the model while preserving agreement with collider, electroweak precision, and flavor-violation data, the generic left-right model cannot account for the large deviations of the observed asymmetry at the Tevatron and also that it predicts very small charge asymmetries at the LHC.

Search for Neutral Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model Higgs Bosons Decaying to Tau Pairs in pp Collisions at root s=7 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (2011-06-01) A search for neutral minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) Higgs bosons in pp collisions at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The results are based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb(-1) recorded by the CMS experiment. The search uses decays of the Higgs bosons to tau pairs. No excess is observed in the tau-pair invariant-mass spectrum. The resulting upper limits on the Higgs boson production cross section times branching fraction to tau pairs,...
Exclusive B -> K*l(+)l(-) decay in the three Higgs doublet model Iltan, EO (2000-03-01) We study the differential branching ratio and CP asymmetry for the exclusive decay B --> K*l(+)l(-) in the three Higgs doublet model with an additional global O(2) symmetry in the Higgs sector. We analyze the dilepton mass square q(2) dependency of these quantities. Further, we study the effect of a new parameter of the global symmetry in the Higgs sector on the differential branching ratio and CP asymmetry. We see that there exists an enhancement in the branching ratio and considerable CP violation for the...
B-s ->tau(+)tau(-)gamma decay in the general two Higgs doublet model including the neutral Higgs boson effects Erkol, G; Turan, Gürsevil (2002-05-01) We investigate the differential branching ratio, the branching ratio, differential forward-backward asymmetry, forward-backward asymmetry of the lepton pair, and lepton polarization asymmetry of the exclusive B-s-->tau(+)tau(-)gamma decay in the general two Higgs doublet model including the neutral Higgs boson effects. We analyze the dependences of these quantities on the model parameters and also on the neutral Higgs boson effects. We find that they get considerable enhancement from the two Higgs doublet m...
Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson in the Decay Channel H -> ZZ -> 4l in pp Collisions at root s=7 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (2012-03-01) A search for a Higgs boson in the four-lepton decay channel H -> ZZ, with each Z boson decaying to an electron or muon pair, is reported. The search covers Higgs boson mass hypotheses in the range of 110 100 GeV (with 13 below 160 GeV), while 67.1 +/- 6.0 (9.5 +/- 1.3) events are expected from background. The four-lepton mass distribution is consistent with the expectation of standard model background production of ZZ pairs. Upper limits at 95% confidence level exclude the standard model Higgs boson in the...
Approximate Pseudospin and Spin Solutions of the Dirac Equation for a Class of Exponential Potentials Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan; TEZCAN, CEVDET (2010-02-01) The Dirac equation is solved for some exponential potentials the hypergeometric-type potential, the generalized Morse potential, and the Poschl-Teller potential with any spin-orbit quantum number kappa in the case of spin and pseudospin symmetry. We have approximated for non s-waves the centrifugal term by an exponential form. The energy eigenvalue equations and the corresponding wave functions are obtained by using a generalization of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method.
