Limits on strong FCNC top couplings at the LHC

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-12-16 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

The best limit on the strong FCNC anomalous couplings was obtained using the direct top production process at the Large Hadron Collider by the ATLAS collaboration. We perform a similar analysis but using a next-to-leading order generator, MEtop. We then show how the limits could be improved if the FCNC single top process pptjpp \to tj would be included as signal. Finally we discuss a slightly modified analysis with an extra hard jet in the final state.
