Associated Production of Single Top Quark and W-boson Through Anomalous Couplings at LHeC based $\gamma p$ Colliders

Abstract

We consider the production of a single top quark in association with a $W$ boson at LHeC based $\gamma p$ collider. We compute the cross section for the process $\gamma p\to WtX$ with the anomalous $Wtb$ and $Wtb\gamma$ couplings. We find that the sensitivities to anomalous couplings of top quark are shown to be comparable, even better than the ones obtained from direct searches at hadron colliders.
