Discriminating scalar and pseudoscalar weak bosons via toponium → γ + boson

The production of Higg's or neutral technipion spin-zero bosons (szb) in toponium decay is examined. Different methods for determining the parity of these bosons are discussed. The decay width Γ( m 3S 1 → γ + szb) is very sensitive to the parity of the szb and it is shown how comparing the widt...

Summary:The production of Higg's or neutral technipion spin-zero bosons (szb) in toponium decay is examined. Different methods for determining the parity of these bosons are discussed. The decay width Γ( m 3S 1 → γ + szb) is very sensitive to the parity of the szb and it is shown how comparing the widths of different toponium states can be used to determine the szb parity. The method is applicable for a szb within 30% of the toponium mass.
