Analyzing the anomalous dipole moment type couplings of heavy quarks with FCNC interactions at the CLIC

TL;DR

This paper investigates anomalous magnetic and dipole moment couplings of heavy quarks through single production at CLIC, analyzing signal and background for different masses to determine coupling limits and observation thresholds.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of anomalous heavy quark couplings at CLIC, including cross sections, signal-background separation, and sensitivity estimates.

Findings

Coupling limits are established for heavy quark masses of 600 and 700 GeV.

Analysis determines the integrated luminosities needed for 3σ observation.

Cross sections for signal and background are quantified for the studied scenarios.

Abstract

In this study we examine both anomalous magnetic and dipole moment type couplings of a heavy quark via its single production with subsequent dominant Standard Model decay modes at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The signal and background cross sections are analyzed for heavy quark masses 600 and 700 GeV. We make the analysis to delimitate these couplings as well as to find the attainable integrated luminosities or 3$\sigma$ observation limit.
