Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of anomalous single top production at the LHeC gamma p collider, estimating sensitivity to anomalous couplings.

Findings

Sensitivity to anomalous coupling kappa/Lambda can reach 0.01 TeV^{-1}

The gamma p-->W^{+}b process is effective for probing new physics

The study enhances understanding of top quark interactions at future colliders

Abstract

The top quark could provide very important information for the Standard Model extentions due to its large mass close to the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. In this work, anomalous single top production is studied by using gamma p-->W^{+}b process at the LHeC based gamma p collider. The sensitivity to anomalous coupling kappa/Lambda could be reached down to 0.01 TeV^{-1}.
