Search for FCNC in strong interactions with the ATLAS detector — •Gunnar Jäkel, Wolfgang Wagner, and Dominic Hirschbühl — Bergische Universität Wuppertal

Flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) are forbidden at tree level and highly suppressed at higher orders in the standard model. In some new physics models leading order contributions could enhance cross sections for FCNC processes by many orders of magnitude. A search for direct top quark production is presented. In this process a u(c)-quark interacts with a gluon and produces a top quark. Different cuts and neural networks are studied to increase the sensitivity of the search.
