Signals of CP Violation in Distributions of Top-Quark Decay Products at Linear Colliders

Abstract

Angular and energy distributions for leptons and bottom quarks in the process e+e- --> t tbar --> l/b ... have been calculated assuming the most general top-quark couplings. The double distributions depend both on modification of the top-quark production and tbW decay vertices. However, the leptonic angular distribution turned out to be insensitive to non-standard parts of tbW vertex. The method of optimal observables have been used to estimate sensitivity of future measurements at linear e+e- colliders
