Effects of mixing with quark singlets
Abstract
The mixing of the known quarks with new heavy singlets can modify significantly some observables with respect to the Standard Model predictions. We analyse the range of deviations permitted by the constraints from precision electroweak data and flavour-changing neutral processes at low energies. We study top charged current and neutral current couplings, which will be directly tested at top factories, like LHC and TESLA. We discuss some examples of observables from K and B physics, as the branching ratio of KL -> pi0 nu nu, the B0s mass difference or the time-dependent CP asymmetry in Bs0 -> Ds+ Ds-, which can also show large new effects.
