Abstract

A study of single top quark production via flavor changing neutral current interactions at tqγtq\gamma vertices is performed at future circular hadron electron collider. The signal cross sections for the processes epeW±q+Xe^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}q+X and epeW±bq+Xe^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}bq+X in the collision of electron beam with energy Ee=E_e= 60 GeV and proton beam with energy Ep=E_p= 50 TeV are calculated. In the analysis, the invariant mass distributions of three jets reconstructing top quark mass, requiring one b-tagged jet and other two jets reconstructing the WW mass are used to count signal and background events after all selection cuts. The upper limits on the anomalous flavor changing neutral current tqγtq\gamma couplings are found to be λq<\lambda_q < 0.01 at future circular hadron electron collider for Lint=100L_{int}=100 fb1^{-1} with the fast simulation of detector effects. Signal significance depending on the couplings λq\lambda_q is analyzed and an enhanced sensitivity is found to the branching ratio BR(tqγt\to q\gamma) at the future circular hadron electron collider when compared to the current experimental results.
