We examine the possibility of observing baryon-number-violating top-quark production or decay at hadron colliders. We adopt a model independent effective approach and focus on operators with minimal mass-dimension. Corresponding effective coefficients could be directly probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) already with an integrated luminosity of 1 inverse femtobarn at 7 TeV, and further constrained with 30 (100) inverse femtobarns at 7 (14) TeV.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-07-19T19:07:22.000Z", "comment": "5 pages, 3 figures", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v2", "updated": "2022-01-21T21:30:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.30.Fs", "13.85.Ni", "14.65.Ha", "12.60.-i" ], "keywords": [ "baryon number violation", "inverse femtobarn", "strong experimental constraints", "large hadron collider", "model independent effective approach" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevD.85.016006", "journal": "Phys.
