  Abstract:
In this paper we show that the y+jet invariant mass distribution in proton-proton collisions at the LHC is significantly sensitive to the quarks chromoelectric (K) and chromomagnetic (K) dipole moments. It is shown that the presence of K or K leads to an increment of the cross section of y+jet process in particular in the tail of y+jet invariant mass distribution. Using the measured y+jet invariant mass distribution by the CMS experiment at the center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, we derive bounds on the quarks chromoelectric and chromomagnetic dipole moments. In extraction of the limits, we consider both theoretical and systematic uncertainties. The uncertainties originating from variation of the renomalization/factorization scales and the choice of proton parton distribution functions are taken into account as a function of the y+jet invariant mass. We exclude K or K above 10-5 at 95
