Description

In the context of the little Higgs models, we discuss single production of the new charged gauge bosons in association with top quark at the $CERN$ Large Hadron Collider$(LHC)$. We find that the new charged gauge bosons $W_{H}^{-}$ and $X^{-}$, which are predicted by the littlest Higgs model and the SU(3) simple model, respectively, can be abundantly produced at the $LHC$. However, since the main backgrounds coming from the processes $pp\to t\bar{t}+X$ and $pp\to tW^{-}+X$ are very large, the values of the ratios $N_{W}$ and $N_{X}$ are very small in most of the parameter space. It is only possible to detect the signal of the gauge boson $W_{H}^{-}$ via the process $pp\to gb+X\to tW_{H}^{-}+X$ at the $LHC$ in a small region of the parameter space.
