Anomalous Wtb couplings in gamma-proton collision at the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-10-23 v1

Abstract

We study the possibility for the process pppγppWt(W+tˉ)Xpp \rightarrow p\gamma p \rightarrow pW^-t(W^+\bar t)X with anomalous Wtb couplings in a model independent effective Lagrangian approach at the LHC. We find 95% confidence level bounds on the anomalous coupling parameters for various values of the integrated luminosity. The improved constraints on the anomalous Wtb couplings have been obtained compared to current limits.
