QCD corrections to FCNC single top production at HERA
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate first-order QCD corrections to the cross section for single top quark production mediated by flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) in ep collisions at the HERA collider. We find that the uncertainty due to the choice of the QCD scale is significantly reduced. This study is motivated by the current experimental work for limits on the FCNC single top cross section.

FCNC top quark production via anomalous tqV couplings beyond leading order
We calculate flavor-changing neutral-current (FCNC) processes involving top-quark production via anomalous tqV couplings at the Tevatron and HERA colliders. We cover the FCNC processes pp̄ → tZ, pp̄ → tγ, pp̄ → tt, and ep → et. We go beyond leading order and include the effects of soft-gluon corrections through next-to-next-to-leading order. We demonstrate the stabilisation of the cross section wi...
متن کاملAnomalous tqV couplings and FCNC top quark production
We discuss FCNC top quark production via anomalous tqV couplings at the Tevatron and HERA colliders. We calculate higher-order soft-gluon corrections to such processes and demonstrate the stabilization of the cross section when these corrections are included. Presented at the DIS 2004 Workshop, Strbske Pleso, Slovakia, 14-18 April, 2004.
متن کاملSearch for Single-top Production with the Zeus Detector at Hera
A search for anomalous single-top production, ep → etX, t → Wb, has been made with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 130 pb. No evidence for top-quark production was found in either the leptonic or the hadronic decay channel of the W boson. The resulting constraints on single-top production via quark-flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) transitions exclude a substan...

Using the constraint on the single top production cross-section obtained at the HERA collider, σ(ep → e tX), we evaluate an upper limit on coupling constant of the anomalous top quark interaction with a gluon via flavor-changing neutral current: |κtgq/Λ| . 0.4 TeV, BR(t → gq) < 13% E-mail: ashimova [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Introduction In different extensions of the Standa...
