\(T\)-odd quark pair production and decay at \(\gamma\gamma\) collider in the littlest Higgs model with \(T\)-parity in next-to-leading order QCD. (English) Zbl 1320.81078
Summary: We calculate the complete next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections to the \(T\)-odd mirror quark pair \((q\_\bar{q}\_=u\_\bar{u}\_, c\_\bar{c}\_, d\_\bar{d}\_, s\_\bar{s}\_)\) production in the littlest Higgs model with \(T\)-parity (LHT) at a high energy \(\gamma\gamma\) collider. We present the dependence of the leading order (LO) and NLO QCD corrected cross sections on the colliding energy \(\sqrt{s}\). Our calculation includes the subsequent full weak decays of the final \(T\)-odd mirror quarks by adopting the narrow width approximation and the exclusive 2-jet event selection criterion. We provide the LO and QCD NLO kinematic distributions of final particles. We find that the NLO QCD correction is phase space dependent and modifies the LO cross section evidently. The \(K\)-factor increases noticeably when \(\sqrt{s}\) approaches the threshold of the on-shell \(q\)-pair production. We conclude that it is possible to separate the signature of the \(T\)-odd quark pair production from possible Standard Model (SM) background by taking proper kinematic cut.
