The top quark chromomagnetic dipole moment in the SM

Abstract

We present our results on the top quark chromomagnetic dipole moment, which is based on the 5-dimension effective Lagrangian operator that characterizes the chromodipolar vertex functions gtt and ggtt. The chromomagnetic dipole mu_t is derived via quantum fluctuation at the 1-loop level. We evaluate µˆt(s) as a function of the energy scale s=+-E2, for E=[10,1000] GeV. In particular we focus on the conventional high-energy scale E=mZ, analogously as with alphas(mZ2) and sW(mZ2). The spacelike evaluation matches quite well with the experimental central value, while the timelike case deviates from it.
