MEtop - a top FCNC event generator

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2013-03-25 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

We present a new Monte Carlo generator for Direct top and Single top production via flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC). This new tool calculates the cross section and generates events with Next-to-Leading order precision for the Direct top process and Leading-Order precision for all other FCNC single top processes. A set of independent dimension six FCNC operators has been implemented - including four-fermion operators - where at least one top-quark is present in the interaction.
