Differential cross-section measurement of the tZq process with the ATLAS detector — •Nilima Akolkar, Chris Boever, and Ian Brock — Physikalisches Institut, University of Bonn
The associated production of a single top quark with a Z boson (tZq) is a rare process confirmed by the ATLAS Collaboration in 2019. This process is of special interest, as it allows one to probe the couplings of the Z boson to the quark sector and to W bosons simultaneously.
This talk will focus on the differential cross-section measurement of the tZq process, analyzed in the trilepton decay channel. The data used was collected with the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. The tZq differential cross-section is measured using two different methods of unfolding and the preliminary results will be presented in the talk.
