Abstract

The flavor changing top quark decays t -> cV (V=Z,photon,gluon) induced by R-parity-violating couplings in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) are evaluated. We find that the decays t -> cV can be significantly enhanced relative to those in the R-parity conserving SUSY model. Our results show that the top quark FCNC decay can be as large as Br(t->cg)=10^-3, Br(t->cZ)=10^-4 and Br(t-> c\gamma)= 10^-5, which may be observable at the upgraded Tevatron and/or the LHC.
