== W and H+ polarizations in top decays == 1. Generate %$e^+e^- \to t \bar t$% at threshold and force the tops to decay leptonically (to %$e$% or %$\mu$%). a. Compare the charged and neutral lepton %$p_T$% (or energy) distributions with those shown in the MC lectures. a. Explain why the neutrinos tend to have higher %$p_T$% than the charged leptons. a. How would things change if the decay went via %$t\to b H^+$% with %$m_{H^+}=m_W$%? Check by using the 2HDM (Use the on-line calculator to get a consistent set of parameters for the 2HDM). 1. As the previous exercise, but in %$pp \to t\bar t$% at the LHC. -- Main.FabioMaltoni - 06 Dec 2008
