Search for production of single top quarks via flavor-changing neutral currents at the Tevatron
arXiv:hep-ex/0702005 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.191802
Abstract
We search for the production of single top quarks via flavor-changing neutral current couplings of a gluon to the top quark and a charm (c) or up (u) quark. We analyze 230 pb^{-1} of lepton+jets data from \ppbar collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We observe no significant deviation from standard model predictions, and hence set upper limits on anomalous coupling parameters κ^c_g/Λand κ^u_g/Λ, where the κ_g define the strength of the tcg and tug couplings, and Λdefines the scale of new physics. The limits at 95% C.L. are: κ^c_g/Λ< 0.15 TeV^{-1} and κ^u_g/Λ< 0.037 TeV^{-1}.
