The associated production of a single-top with opposite-sign same-flavor (OSSF) di-leptons, $pp to t ell^+ ell^-$ and $ pp to t ell^+ ell^- + j$ ($j=$light jet), can lead to striking tri-lepton $pp to ell^prime ell^+ ell^- + X$ and di-lepton $pp to ell^+ ell^- + j_b + X$ ($j_b=b$-jet) events at the LHC, after the top decays. Although these rather generic multi-lepton signals are flavor-blind, they can be generated by new 4-Fermi flavor changing (FC) $u_i t ell ell$ scalar, vector and tensor interactions ($u_i in u,c$), which we study in this paper; we match the FC $u_i t ell ell$ 4-Fermi terms to the SMEFT operators and also to different types of FC underlying heavy physics. The main backgrounds to these di- and tri-lepton signals arise from $t bar t$, $Z$+jets and $VV$ ($V=W,Z$) production, but they can be essentially eliminated with a sufficiently high invariant mass selection on the OSSF di-leptons, $m_{ell^+ ell^-}^{tt min}(OSSF) > 1$ TeV; the use of $b$-tagging as an additional selection in the di-lepton final state case also proves very useful. We find, for example, that the expected 95% CL bounds on the scale of a tensor(vector) $u t mu mu$ interaction, with the current $sim 140$ fb$^{-1}$ of LHC data, are $Lambda < 5(3.2) $ TeV or $Lambda < 4.1(2.7)$ TeV, if analyzed via the di-muon $mu^+ mu^- + j_b$ signal or the $e mu^+ mu^-$ tri-lepton one, respectively. The expected reach at the HL-LHC with 3000 fb$^{-1}$ of data is $Lambda < 7.1(4.7)$ TeV and $Lambda < 2.4(1.5)$ TeV for the corresponding $u t mu mu$ and $c t mu mu$ operators. We also study the potential sensitivity at future 27 TeV and 100 TeV high-energy LHC successors and also discuss the possible implications of this class of FC 4-Fermi effective interactions on lepton non-universality tests at the LHC.
We address the potential of measurements with boosted single-top final states at the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and possible future hadron colliders: the high-energy LHC (HE-LHC), and the future circular collider (FCC). As new physics examples to a
We consider the possibility of studying new physics that singles out the tau-lepton at the LHC. We concentrate on the tau-lepton charge asymmetry in tau+tau- pair production as a tool to probe this physics beyond the Standard Model. We consider two g
This is the third out of five chapters of the final report [1] of the Workshop on Physics at HL-LHC, and perspectives on HE-LHC [2]. It is devoted to the study of the potential, in the search for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics, of the High L
The new CERN proton-proton collider, the LHC, is about to start in 2007 its data taking. Millions of top quarks will be available out of these data, allowing to perform a wide range of precision measurements and searches for new physics. An overview
The physics responsible for neutrino masses and lepton mixing remains unknown. More experimental data are needed to constrain and guide possible generalizations of the standard model of particle physics, and reveal the mechanism behind nonzero neutri
