Limits on strong FCNC top couplings at the LHC

Renato Guedes, Rui Santos, Miguel Won

The best limit on the strong FCNC anomalous couplings was obtained using the direct top production process at the Large Hadron Collider by the ATLAS collaboration. We perform a sim…

MEtop - a top FCNC event generator

Rita Coimbra, António Onofre, Rui Santos +1

We present a new Monte Carlo generator for Direct top and Single top production via flavour-changing neutral currents (FCNC). This new tool calculates the cross section and generat…

MEtop - a generator for single top production via FCNC interactions

Rita Coimbra, António Onofre, Rui Santos +1

We present a generator for single top quark production via flavour-changing neutral currents. The MEtop event generator allows for Next-to-Leading-Order direct top production $pp \…

New physics contributions to the forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron

Sudhansu S. Biswal, Subhadip Mitra, Rui Santos +3

The Tevatron has measured a discrepancy relative to the Standard Model prediction in the forward-backward asymmetry in top quark pair production. This asymmetry grows with the rapi…

top FCNC physics at a Linear Collider after the LHC

Renato Guedes, Rui Santos, Miguel Won

Flavour changing neutral currents are absent at tree level in the Standard Model (SM) and are highly suppressed at higher orders due the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism. Hence,…

Dimension six FCNC operators and top production at the LHC

R. A. Coimbra, P. M. Ferreira, R. B. Guedes +4

In this work we calculate the effects of the electroweak flavour changing neutral currents dimension six effective operators on single top production at the LHC. These results are…
