Direct Top Quark Production at Hadron Colliders as a Probe of New Physics

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2016-09-06 v1

Abstract

We examine the effect of an anomalous flavor changing chromomagnetic moment which allows direct top quark production (two partons combining into an unaccompanied single top quark in the s-channel) at hadron colliders. We consider both t-c-g and t-u-g couplings. We find that the anomalous charm quark coupling parameter κc/Λ\kappa_c / \Lambda can be measured down to .06TeV1(.009TeV1.06 TeV^{-1}(.009 TeV^{-1}) at the Tevatron with the Main Injector upgrade(LHC). The anomalous up quark coupling parameter κu/Λ\kappa_u / \Lambda can be measured to .02TeV1(.003TeV1.02 TeV^{-1}(.003 TeV^{-1}) at the Tevatron(LHC).
