The dimension-six operators Modify W helicity fractions in t → b + W . Give rise to flavor changing decay t → c + V and t → c + h . A model-independent calculation of 2-body top decay, at O ( α s 1 Λ 2 ) . Cen Zhang Top quark decay with dimension-six operators at NLO in QCD

Motivation Look for NP in FCNC decay channels t → c + V and t → c + h , and W helicity fractions in t → b + W . Understand NLO QCD calculation in Effective Field Theory. (Possible technical issues such as operator running and mixing, higher rank loop integrals, etc.) Cen Zhang Top quark decay with dimension-six operators at NLO in QCD
