Abstract

For the t --> W b decay mode, an intensity-ratio equivalence for two distinct Lorentz-invariant couplings is shown to be a consequence of symmetries of tWb-transformations. Three explicit tWb-transformations connect the four standard model's (SM) helicity amplitudes and the amplitudes in the case of an additional chiral-tensorial-coupling of relative strength 53 GeV. Such a coupling will arise if there is a large tR --> bL chiral weak-transition-moment. Two commutator plus anti-commutator symmetry algebras are generated from the 3 transformation matrices. Using these transformations, the associated mass scales are related to the SM's electroweak scale vEW = 246GeV$.
