Detecting the neutral top-pion at $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders
Abstract
We investigate some processes of the associated production of a neutral top-pion with a pair of fermions() in the context of top-color-assisted technicolor(TC2) theory at future colliders. The studies show that the largest cross sections of the processes could only reach the level of 0.01fb, we can hardly detect a neutral top-pion through these processes. For the processes , and , the cross sections of these processes are at the level of a few fb for the favorable parameters and a few tens, even hundreds, of neutral top-pion events can be produced at future colliders each year through these processes. With the clean background of the flavor-changing channel, the top-pion events can possibly be detected at the planned high luminosity colliders. Therefore, such neutral top-pion production processes provide a useful way to detect a neutral top-pion and test the TC2 model directly.
