T-odd top partner pair production in the dilepton final states at the LHC in the littlest Higgs Model with T-parity

In the littlest Higgs Model with T-parity, we discuss the pair production of the T-odd top partner ($T_{-}$) which decays almost 100\% into the top quark and the lightest T-odd particle ($A_{H}$). Considering the current constraints, we investigate the observability of the T-odd top partner pair production through the process $pp\rightarrow T_{-}\bar{T}_{-}\rightarrow t\bar{t}A_{H}A_{H}$ in final states with two leptons at 14 TeV LHC. We analyze the signal significance and find that the lower limit on the T-odd top partner mass are about 1.04 TeV, 1.14 TeV, 1.23 TeV at $2σ$ confidence level at 14TeV LHC with the integrated luminosity of 30 fb$^{-1}$, 100fb$^{-1}$, 300fb$^{-1}$. This lower limit can be raised to about 1.34(1.44) TeV if we use 1000(3000) fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity.

Single production of vector-like top partner decaying to $Wb$ in the leptonic channel at $ep$ colliders in the LHT model

In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity(LHT), we study the single production of vector-like top partner with the subsequent decay $T_{+}\to Wb$ in the leptonic channel at the $ep$ colliders. Focus on the LHeC ($ \sqrt{s} $ = 1.98 TeV) and FCC-eh ($ \sqrt{s} $ = 5.29 TeV), we investigate the observability of the single top partner production with the unpolarized and polarized electron beams, respectively. As a result, the statistical significance can be enhanced by the polarized electron beams. Under the current constraints, the search for $T_{+}$ in the $Wb$ channel at the LHeC cannot provide a stronger limit on the top partner mass. By contrast, the search for the $T_{+}$ in this channel at the FCC-eh with polarized $ e^- $ beams can exclude the top partner mass up to 1350 GeV, 1500 GeV and 1565 GeV with integrated luminosities of 100 fb$^{-1}$, 1000 fb$^{-1}$ and 3000 fb$^{-1}$ at the 2$σ$ level, which is an improvement with respect to the current indirect searches and the LHC direct searches. Furthermore, we also give an extrapolation to the high-luminosity LHC with $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV and $ L=3000~\rm{fb}^{-1} $. Our results show that the LHT model is still a natural solution to the shortcomings of the electroweak and scalar sector although it has been constrained severely.

Search for $thj$ production with $h\rightarrow γγ$ at the LHC in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity

In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity, we study associated production of a Higgs and a single top quark at the 14 TeV LHC. We focus on the Higgs to two photons decay and the semileptonic top decay channel. By performing a fast detector simulation, we find that the $thj$ search in the selected channel can excluded the top partner mass $m_{T_{+}}$ up to 805 (857) GeV for case A (case B) at $2σ$ confidence level at 14 TeV LHC with the integrated luminosity $L= 3 \rm ab^{-1}$.
