FCNC Top Quark Production Via Anomalous Gluon Coupling

ORAL

Abstract

We calculate flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes with top-quark production via anomalous gluon couplings at various LHC energies. We present the FCNC process $p p \to t g$. We go beyond leading order and include soft-gluon corrections through next-to-next-to-leading order. Additionally, we report the impact of QCD scale variation on the cross section.
