Signs of new physics in top quark pair production associated with a neutrino pair at the LHC

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the interactions of the top quarks with the $Z$ boson using the top quark pair production associated with neutrino pair ($t\bar{t}{\nu }_l\overline{{\nu }_l}$) at the LHC. In particular, potential constraints on the anomalous electroweak top-quark interactions are determined by considering two opposite-sign charged leptons, missing energy, and two b-tagged jets in the final state. The analysis is performed for a High Luminosity scenario of the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 3 ab${}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. The $95\%$ confidence intervals are computed on the anomalous couplings considering a realistic detector simulation of an upgraded CMS detector including an average of 200 proton-proton interactions per bunch crossing. We find that the $t\bar{t}{\nu }_l\overline{{\nu }_l}$ channel can provide stringent bounds on the relevant Wilson coefficients and has the potential to serve as an additional handle beside the $t\bar{t}Z(Z\to l^{+}{l}^{-})$ and other channels to search for new physics.
