Photon production in top quark events at ATLAS and CMS

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2026-02-04 v2

Abstract

Top quark production in association with a photon offers a unique test ground for the standard model predictions, as it is sensitive to the top-photon coupling. These processes are rare when compared to standard top pair production, however the large amounts of data delivered by the LHC open the window to precise measurements. This talk covered the recent inclusive and differential measurements of top quark single and pair production in association with a photon, by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations. Potential modifications to the top-photon couplings with respect to the standard model predictions are also explored using the standard model effective field theory.
