Single top quark production in heavy ion collisions at the LHC

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

The paper presents analysis of the single top quark production in PbPb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at center-of-mass energy 5.5 TeV per nucleon pair. The analysis is performed with CompHEP and PYQUEN event generators. The neutron and proton content in the nuclei is taken into account. NLO precision has been implemented to simulate kinematic properties and rate of single top production. The modification of different characteristics of single top quark decay products due to interactions of jet partons in quark-gluon medium, and the specific charge asymmetry of top/anti-top quark yields due to the isospin effect are evaluated.
