Abstract

We perform an exclusive study of the anomalous WtbWtb interaction in the context of LHC. The limits on WtbWtb anomalous couplings have been estimated via the measurements of the top-quark decay width and cross-section as well as production asymmetries in case the CP is violated. Our investigations reveal that the upper bounds on (CL,CR)(|C_L|, |C_R|) would be of about (1.82, 0.03) ×104\times 10^{-4} at 2.5σ2.5 \sigma C.L., for the already collected data at the LHC with S=13\sqrt{S} = 13 TeV for an integrated luminosity of 139 fb1^{-1}. The corresponding limits for future hadron colliders, namely, High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), High Energy LHC (HE-LHC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC-hh) for the projected luminosities of 3 ab1^{-1}, 12 ab1^{-1} and 30 ab1^{-1} are found to be to (0.81,0.006)×104(0.81, 0.006)\times 10^{-4}, (0.44,0.0017)×104(0.44, 0.0017)\times 10^{-4} and (0.21,0.0004)×104(0.21, 0.0004)\times 10^{-4} respectively at 2.5σ\sigma C. L..
