摘要

High Energy Physics - Experiment Physics
A search is presented for the electroweak production of a top quark pair in association with a$W$boson and at least one additional jet, known as the${t\bar{t}W\kern-0.2em j_{\mathrm{EW}}}$process. This process has embedded within it a$tW$ -scattering vertex, which is probed directly for the first time. The collision data were collected with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the LHC and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 140$\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$at$\sqrt{s}=13$ ~TeV. The search uses same-charge pairs of electrons and muons together with jets, of which at least one is$b$ -tagged. The properties of the most forward jet relative to the rest of the event are used to discriminate the electroweak${t\bar{t}W\kern-0.2em j_{\text{EW}}}$production process from its strong$t\bar{t}W$production counterpart. A measured (expected) 95% CL upper limit on the cross section is set at$σ_{{t\bar{t}W\kern-0.2em j_{\mathrm{EW}}} < 251$ ~fb (230 fb), to be compared with the expected SM cross section of 47.7 fb. Limits are set on the SM Effective Field Theory (EFT) operators$O_{Ht}$and$O^{(1)}_{HQ}$ , which modify the electroweak couplings of the top quark through contributions to the$tW$ -scattering vertex. The interpretation acts as a case study to emphasize the importance of energy-dependent sensitivity, multi-process and multi-operator EFT contributions.
