Using Charge Asymmetries to Measure Single Top Quark Production at the LHC
Abstract
Electroweak production of single top quarks is an as-yet-unverified prediction of the Standard model, potentially sensitive to new physics. Two of the single top quark productions channels have significant charge asymmetries at the LHC, while the much larger background from tt is nearly charge-symmetric. This can be used to reduce systematic uncertainties and make precision measurements of single top quark production.
