Little Higgs models and single top production at the LHC

Abstract

We investigate the corrections of the littlest Higgs(LH) model and the SU(3) simple group model to single top production at the CERN Large Hardon Collider(LHC). We find that the new gauge bosons $W_H^{\pm }$ predicted by the LH model can generate significant contributions to single top production via the s-channel process. The correction terms for the tree-level $Wq{q}^{\prime }$ couplings coming from the SU(3) simple group model can give large contributions to the cross sections of the t-channel single top production process. We expect that the effects of the LH model and the SU(3) simple group model on single top production can be detected at the LHC experiments.
