High-energy single top photoproduction at the LHC

摘要

High-energy photon-proton interactions at the LHC offer interestingpossibilities for the study of top properties. Using a fast simulation of a LHC-like detector, first results on the measurement of the |V_(tb)|matrix element usingWt photoproduction are presented. Anomalous photoproduction of single top dueto flavour-changing neutral currents permits to improve the current limits on thecoupling parameters, k_(tuγ)and k_(
