چکیده

We present a generator for single top-quark production via flavour-changing neutral currents. The MEtop event generator allows for Next-to-Leading-Order direct top production pp → t and Leading-Order production of several other single top processes. A few packages with definite sets of dimension six operators are available. We discuss how to improve the bounds on the effective operators and how well new physics can be probed with each set of independent dimension six operators.

The Constraint on FCNC Coupling of the Top Quark with a Gluon from ep - Collisions

Using the constraint on the single top production cross-section obtained at the HERA collider, σ(ep → e tX), we evaluate an upper limit on coupling constant of the anomalous top quark interaction with a gluon via flavor-changing neutral current: |κtgq/Λ| . 0.4 TeV, BR(t → gq) < 13% E-mail: ashimova [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Introduction In different extensions of the Standa...

Search for Single-top Production with the Zeus Detector at Hera

A search for anomalous single-top production, ep → etX, t → Wb, has been made with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 130 pb. No evidence for top-quark production was found in either the leptonic or the hadronic decay channel of the W boson. The resulting constraints on single-top production via quark-flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions exclude a substan...

CP violating effects in the single top quark production via flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) reactions e + e − → t¯ q and e + e − → ¯ tq (here q refers to charm and up quarks) are studied. The effective Lagrangian description of the FCNC interactions is used. A numerical analysis is performed for some next linear colliders. CP violating asymmetries for the number of q and ¯ q quarks are ...

QCD corrections to FCNC single top production at HERA

We calculate first-order QCD corrections to the cross section for single top quark production mediated by flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) in ep collisions at the HERA collider. We find that the uncertainty due to the choice of the QCD scale is significantly reduced. This study is motivated by the current experimental work for limits on the FCNC single top cross section. On leave of abse...
