Abstract:
We examine the effect of an anomalous flavor changing chromomagnetic moment which allows direct top quark production (two partons combining into an unaccompanied single top quark in the s-channel) at hadron colliders. We consider both t-c-g and t-u-g couplings. We find that the anomalous charm quark coupling parameter κc/Λ\kappa_c / \Lambda can be measured down to .06TeV 1(.009TeV 1.06 TeV~{-1}(.009 TeV~{-1}) at the Tevatron with the Main Injector upgrade(LHC). The anomalous up quark coupling parameter κu/Λ\kappa_u / \Lambda can be measured to .02TeV 1(.003TeV 1.02 TeV~{-1}(.003 TeV~{-1}) at the Tevatron(LHC).
