Top quark FCNC couplings at future circular hadron electron colliders
A study of single top quark production via flavor changing neutral current interactions at $tqγ$ vertices is performed at future circular hadron electron collider. The signal cross sections for the processes $e^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}q+X$ and $e^{-}p\to e^{-}W^{\pm}bq+X$ in the collision of electron beam with energy $E_e=$ 60 GeV and proton beam with energy $E_p=$ 50 TeV are calculated. In the analysis, the invariant mass distributions of three jets reconstructing top quark mass, requiring one b-tagged jet and other two jets reconstructing the $W$ mass are used to count signal and background events after all selection cuts. The upper limits on the anomalous flavor changing neutral current $tqγ$ couplings are found to be $λ_q < $ 0.01 at future circular hadron electron collider for $L_{int}=100$ fb$^{-1}$ with the fast simulation of detector effects. Signal significance depending on the couplings $λ_q$ is analyzed and an enhanced sensitivity is found to the branching ratio BR($t\to qγ$) at the future circular hadron electron collider when compared to the current experimental results.
