The heaviest quark, the top quark, will be produced with a particular property called “chirality” that can be either left-handed (LH) or right-handed (RH) in an interaction to related to the dark matter in the Universe. The handedness can be reflected in several kinematic distributions of the decay products of the top quark (t→W+b). We choose a ratio of the bottom-quark energy to the top-quark energy, R=E(b)/E(t), to examine the chirality. A study of Monte Carlo simulations is performed to evaluate what would happen at the LHC if there exists a model of particle physics with a new mediating particle that decays into either a LH or RH top quark along with a dark matter particle. The simulation shows that the handedness of the top quark in such a model can be discerned to a high degree of accuracy at the LHC, providing a robust test of the model. |
