The present invention relates to an ethylene-alpha olefin copolymer comprising long chain branches (LCB), while having a narrow molecular weight distribution. The ethylene-alpha olefin copolymer can be prepared by a continuous solution polymerization process using an activated catalyst composition containing a Group 4 transition metal compound having a monocyclopentadienyl ligand, to which a quinoline amino group is introduced. 1. An ethylene-butene copolymer havinga) a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) of 1.5 or above and less than 3.5 (1.5≦Mw/Mn<3.5);b) 3 to 5 long chain branches per 1000 carbons along the copolymer main chain; andc) a weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 or above and less than 1,000,000.6. The ethylene-butene copolymer according to claim 2 , wherein the catalyst composition comprising the transition metal compound of Formula 1 further comprises one or more of cocatalyst compounds represented by the following Formulae 5 to 7.{'br': None, 'i': 'a', '—[Al(R16)-O]-\u2003\u2003[Formula 5]'} {'br': None, 'sub': '3', 'D(R17)\u2003\u2003[Formula 6]'}, 'wherein R16 is each independently selected from the group consisting of a halogen radical, a hydrocarbyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and a hydrocarbyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted with halogen, a is an integer of 2 or more;'}wherein D is aluminum or boron; {'br': None, 'sup': +', '−', '+[ZA', {'sub2': '4'}, '−, 'sub': '4', '[L-H][ZA] or [L]]\u2003\u2003[Formula 7]'}, 'R17 is each independently selected from the group consisting of a halogen radical, a hydrocarbyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and a hydrocarbyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms which is substituted with halogen;'}wherein L is cationic Lewis acid;H is a hydrogen atom;Z is an element of Group 13 selected from B, Al, Ga, In and Tl; andA is each independently an aryl radical having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkyl radical having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, wherein at least one hydrogen atom in ...
