We find that （a） the divergent- and μ-dependent terms are left in the effective vertex function Г^γμ（p, k） for b → sγ transition even after we sum up the contributions from four related Feynman diagrams; （b） for an on-shell photon, such terms do not contribute et al.; （c） for off-shell photon, these terms will be canceled when the contributions from both vertex ^sγb and ^sZb are taken into account simultaneously, and therefore the finite and gauge-independent function Zo（xt） = Co（xt） ＋ Do（xt）/4, which governs the semi-leptonic decay b → sl^- l^＋, is derived in the unitary gauge.展开更多

The comparison of the decay width in the LH model with that in the standard model (SM) is made. We find that the decay branch ratio of t → cH0 in the LH model is at most of the order ～ 10-12, which is two order larger than in the SM. The numerical results show that the difference between the branch ratios in the LH model and the SM is generally sensitive to the LH model parameters, such as symmetry breaking scale f, Higgs boson mass mH0, and x = v'4f /v2 in our chosen parameter space, but relatively insensitive to the value choice of the cosine of the mixing angle c and the ratio λ1/λ2.展开更多
