Description

In this talk I am going to present some studies on the prospects of single top quark production at the LHeC and double-Higgs production at the FCC-he. In particular we are investigating the tbW couplings via single top quark production with the introduction of possible anomalous Lorentz structure and the sensitivity of Higgs-self-coupling (λ) through double Higgs production. The studies are performed with 60 GeV electron colliding with 7 (50) TeV proton for LHeC (FCC-he). The single top quark studies has been done at parton level and we find the sensitivity of the anomalous coupling at 95% C.L, considering 10-1% of systematics. The double Higgs boson production has been studied with speculated detector parameters and the sensitivity of λ estimated via the cross section study around the Standard Model Higgs-self-coupling strength (λ_{SM}) considering 5% systematical error in signal and backgrounds.
