Anomalous $tqγ$ couplings in $γp$ collision at the LHC    [PDF]

M. Köksal, S. C. İnan

In this work, we have examined the constraints on the anomalous $tq\gamma$ ($q=u,c$) couplings through the process $pp\to p\gamma p\to pWbX$ at the LHC by considering three forward detector acceptances: $0.0015< \xi < 0.5$, $0.0015< \xi <0.15$ and $0.1< \xi < 0.5$. The sensitivity bounds on the anomalous couplings have been obtained at the 95% confidence level in a model independent effective lagrangian approach. We find that the bounds on these couplings can be highly improved compared to current experimental bounds.
