Abstract

We present the full O(α)\mathcal{O}(\alpha) electroweak radiative corrections to the process e+ettˉγe^+e^- \rightarrow t \bar{t} \gamma at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The computation is performed with the help of the GRACE-Loop system. We present the total cross-section and the top quark forward-backward asymmetry (AFBA_{FB}) as a function of the center-of-mass energy and compare them with the process e+ettˉe^+e^- \rightarrow t \bar{t}. We find that the value of AFBA_{FB} in ttˉγt \bar{t} \gamma production is larger than AFBA_{FB} in ttˉt\bar{t} production. It is an important result for the measurement of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the ILC. Applying a structure function method, we also subtract the QED correction to gain the genuine weak correction in both the α\alpha scheme and the GμG_{\mu} scheme (δWGμ\delta_{W}^{G_{\mu}}). We obtain numerical values for δWGμ\delta_{W}^{G_{\mu}} which are changing from 2% to -24% when we vary the center-of-mass energy from 360 GeV to 1 TeV.
