The Anomalous Chromomagnetic Dipole Moment of the Top Quark

Abstract

We calculate the one loop corrections to the chromomagnetic dipole moment of the top quark in the framework of the Standard Model, the two Higgs doublet model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. In the Standard Model we consider the QCD and the electroweak corrections generated by gluon and Higgs boson exchanges, respectively. In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, we calculate the SUSY- QCD corrections, including the mixing effects between the stop coming from the left- and right-handed sectors. We obtain that the Standard Model contribution is of the order of -0.004< delta kappa_g^t < -0.001, and the values for diferents scenarios are of the order of -0.001 < δκ_g^t < -0.01.
