BSM measurements with Top at LHC: CMS sensitivity to Flavour Changing Neutral Currents
Since expected branching ratios for top Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) in the Standard Model are eagerly low, any experimental evidence for a top quark FCNC interaction would signal the existence of new physics. This contribution reports a study on FCNC observability in top decays with the...

description | Since expected branching ratios for top Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) in the Standard Model are eagerly low, any experimental evidence for a top quark FCNC interaction would signal the existence of new physics. This contribution reports a study on FCNC observability in top decays with the CMS experiment. A wide variety of Standard Model processes have been considered into background and selection is optimized to maximize the significance in the signal region. A full set of systematic effects are added to the simulation and their impact on the analysis is established. Efforts are pushed to find a specific control region that can be addressed in the future samples. After 50 fb-1, the 95% C.L. exclusion limit for a t->q\gamma (t->qZ) is 1.19(7.6) 10^{-4}, improving the current limits by more than a order of magnitude. |
