Filimon Gournaris (UC London)31/05/2007, 16:50We present a prototype version of a new, fully differential ttbar threshold event generator based on NNLO(NNLL) QCD calculations. We will describe how the generator is structured, the use of an interpolation scheme that is the only practical solution to make it usable in terms of CPU resources, and the use of up to date methods for the inclusion of the ILC luminosity spectrum....Go to contribution page

Dr Stewart Boogert (Royal Holloway, University of London)31/05/2007, 17:15The main technical difficulties associated with measurement of the top quark threshold are from uncertainties in the luminosity spectrum due to the large beamstrahlung and the determination of absolute beam energy of the two beams. We present the ongoing developments to measure both the beam energy using electron beam diagnostics and the luminosity spectrum using the acollinearity of...Go to contribution page

Prof. Edward Boos (Moscow State University, SINP MSU)01/06/2007, 09:25Single top quark production is expected to be an interesting process for studies at both hadron and lepton colliders. A review on single top production processes in e+e-, e-gamma and gamma-gamma collision modes at a linear collider is presented. A special attention is paid to the production cross sections, spin correlation properties, some aspects of new physics via single top.Go to contribution page

Prof. Rohini Godbole (IISC Bangalore)01/06/2007, 09:50We analyse the associated production of the Higgs boson with a top quar pair, ${e^-e^+ \to t\bar t\Phi}$, in the most general case where the coupling is a mixture of scalar and pseudoscalar components, $g_{\Phi t \bar t} \propto (a+i b \gamma_5)$. We have calculated the individual helicity amplitudes for the process and obtained the corresponding cross sections for each helicity state;...Go to contribution page

Dr Andrei Nomerotski (University of Oxford)02/06/2007, 11:00LCFI recently released the ZVTOP vertexing package which also includes the b-tagging capabilities. The talk will review the performance of the package in application to measurements of anomalous couplings of the top quark. Variables which can distiguish between b and bbar (ex vertex charge) will be especially useful to study asymmetries sensitive to the top anomalous couplings.Go to contribution page

Mathieu Segond (LPT Orsay)02/06/2007, 11:50We calculate the Born order cross-section for the exclusive production of rho meson pairs in e+e- scattering in the Regge limit of QCD and we show the feasibility of the measurement of this process at the ILC. We also give a first estimate of the leading order BFKL evolution and we show how this process could be considered as a clean test of the BFKL resummation effects.Go to contribution page
