| Popis: | We study the consequences for top-quark physics of having electron and positron beams available at the LHeC and FCC-he, as was the case in HERA. We show that the asymmetry between top production in $pe^+$ collisions and antitop production in $pe^-$ reactions is sensitive to $|V_{td}|$. By means of detailed parton-level Monte Carlo simulations of single $t$ and $\bar{t}$ production and its backgrounds, we parametrize the asymmetry dependence on $|V_{td}|$ and estimate its uncertainties. We thus obtain limits on $|V_{td}|$ that are substantially stronger than current ones, and also smaller than current projections for the HL-LHC. We have $|V_{td}| < 1.6\times |V_{td}^\mathrm{PDG}|$ at the LHeC, at 68\% C.L.\ with $L_\mathrm{int}=2$/ab. Comment: 10 pages |
