Description
High-energy proton-proton interactions at the Lhc offer interesting possibilities for the study of top properties. Using a fast simulation of a Lhc-like detector, first results on the measurements of the (Vtb) matrix element using W t photoproduction are presented. Anomalous photoproduction of single top due to flavour-changing neutral currents permits to improve the current limits on the coupling parameters, κtuγ and κtcγ after only 1 fb-1.
