abstract

We point out that hints of deviations from unitarity in the first row of the CKM matrix may be explained by the presence of a single vector-like top. We study how the stringent experimental constraints arising from CP Violation in the kaon sector and from meson mixing such as $D^0$-$\overline{D}^0$, $K^0$-$\overline{K}^0$ and $B^0_{d,s}$-$\overline{B}^0_{d,s}$ can be satisfied in the proposed framework. In order for the deviations from unitarity to be of the required size while keeping the theory perturbative, the new top quark should have a mass $m_T \lesssim 7$ TeV which could be probed in upcoming experiments at the energy frontier.

  1. Pion $\beta$ decay and $\tau\to\pi\pi\nu_\tau$ beyond leading logarithms

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pion β decay and τ→ππν short-distance radiative corrections are matched at NLL accuracy with evanescent-scheme dependence cancelled, giving Δ_RC^{πℓ}=0.03403(11) and a τ-HVP isospin-breaking shift of −0.07(4)×10^-10.

  2. Vector-like quark doublets, weak-basis invariants and CP violation

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Vector-like quark doublets allow CP violation in weak-basis invariants of mass dimension six; the resulting framework organizes the model's parameters, gives the complete CP-odd invariant set for one doublet, and link...

  3. Quantum Monte Carlo calculation of $\delta_{\rm NS}$ in $^{10}$C using an effective field theory approach

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first quantum Monte Carlo evaluation of the nuclear-structure-dependent radiative correction in carbon-10 confirms the NCSM dispersion result, with the residual uncertainty set by two undetermined low-energy constants.
