Qt = +2/3 Qt = -4/3 Atlas • t coupling to photon • can be probed via t tbar events • can also be used to confirm Q=2/3 • SM: • Br(t Wb) 99.9% • Br(t Ws) 0.1%, • Br(t Wd) 0.01% • Many Beyond SM models involve anomalous top couplings • Several possible rare decay modes (eg. FCNC) have clear experiment signatures and, if observed at the LHC, would be evidence for new physics pT() [GeV] WIN05 Delphi 6-11 June 2005 V. Šimák, CTU Prague

Atlas • there are large bkgnds (eg. tt [830 pb], Wbb [>300 pb]) with similar final states • ability to extract signal depends critically on detector performance, including • look at lepton, jet, bjet multiplicities, as well as kinematic distributions, to separate single top processes from ttbar, Wjj, Wbb, as well as from each other Jet eta WIN05 Delphi 6-11 June 2005 V.

Each process is sensitive to possible new physics in different ways • Some examples: • heavy W’ enhancement in s-channel W* • FCNC gu t enhancement in “Wg fusion” • It is important to measure each process separately • Also want to measure W, top helicities • Eg. sensitivity to V+A, anomalous couplings WIN05 Delphi 6-11 June 2005 V.

One of the most urgent problems in HEP to identify the mechanism of EWSB and mass generation, in which the top quark may play a special role. The LHC has a large potential for discovery of New Physics effects: e.g. heavy tt resonances, FCNC decays, etc… • Test some models beyond SM : • New type of interactions (resonant Higgs, extra-dimensions, …) • Modifications of SM couplings : • anomalous gtt couplings • anomalous Wtb coupling u d s c b t WIN05 Delphi 6-11 June 2005 V.
