Search for Flavor Changing Neutral Currents in Single Top Quark Production Using 2.3 Fb$^-1$ of $p\bar{p}$ Collisions
We present a search for flavor changing neutral currents via quark-gluon couplings in a sample of single top quark final states corresponding to 2.3 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We select events containing a single top quark candidates with an additional jet, and obtain separation between signal and background using Bayesian neural networks. We find consistency between background expectation and observed data, and set limits on avor changing neutral current gluon couplings of the top quark to up quarks (tgu) and charm quarks (tgc). The cross section limits at the 95% C.L. are [sigma]{sub tgu}
Searches for Flavor-changing Neutral Currents and Single Top Quarks at
I present brief descriptions of two top quark analyses performed using D0 data from p{bar p} collisions at (square root)s = 1.96 TeV: the search for flavor-changing neutral-current couplings (FCNC) of the top quark with a charm or an up quark with the exchange of a gluon, and the search for the standard model production of single top quarks. The search for FCNC couplings of a gluon to the top quark is the first such analysis at hadron colliders. I describe the application of the Bayesian approach for comparing our physics models to the observed data in both analyses and, in one of them, to separate small signals from large backgrounds.
