We consider hadronic top quark pair production and pair production in association with a photon or a Z boson to probe electroweak dipole couplings in t (b) over barW, t (t) over bar gamma, and t (t) over barZ interactions. We demonstrate how measurements of these processes at the 13 TeV LHC can be combined to disentangle and constrain anomalous dipole operators. The construction of cross section ratios allows us to significantly reduce various uncertainties and exploit orthogonal sensitivity between the t (t) over bar gamma and t (t) over barZ couplings. In addition, we show that angular correlations in tt production can be used to constrain the remaining t (t) over barW dipole operator. Our approach yields excellent sensitivity to the anomalous couplings and can be a further step toward precise and direct measurements of the top quark electroweak interactions.
