Description
Versus the standard model's t→W+b decay helicity amplitudes, three numerical puzzles occur at the 0.1% level when one considers the amplitudes in the case of an additional ''(fM+fE)'' coupling of relative strength Λ+∼53 GeV. The puzzles are theoretical ones which involve the t→W+b decay helicity amplitudes in the two cases, the relative strength of the additional (fM+fE) coupling, and the observed masses of these three particles. A deeper analytic realization is obtained for two of the puzzles. Equivalent analytic realizations are given for the remaining one. An empirical consequence of these analytic realizations is that it is important to search for effects of a large chiral weak moment of the top quark, Λ+∼53 GeV. A full theoretical resolution would include relating the origin of such a chiral weak-moment and the mass generation of the top quark, the W boson, and probably the b quark
