Probing Anomalous Wtb Coupling via Single Top Production at TeV Energy $\gamma$ e Colliders

Abstract

Results of complete tree level calculations of the single top production reaction $\gamma e\to \nu \bar{t}b$ at the Next Linear Collider, including the contribution of anomalous operators to the Wtb coupling are presented. The sensitivity for probing the structure of the Wtb coupling in a model independent way is analyzed and found to be significantly higher than for comparable measurements at the Tevatron.
