Abstract

We discuss the possibility and likelihood that one may observe {\it like sign} top quark pair production at the Linear Collider. In general two Higgs models, flavor changing couplings involving top quark could be quite sizable. Exotic neutral Higgs bosons may decay dominantly via tcˉt\bar c or tˉc\bar tc channels. At the linear collider, e+eh0A0e^+e^- \to h^0A^0 or H0A0H^0A^0 production processes could lead to bbˉtcˉb\bar bt\bar c, W+WtcˉW^+W^-t\bar c or ttcˉcˉtt\bar c\bar c (or tˉtˉcc\bar t\bar tcc) final states. These would mimic TT-Tˉ\bar T mixing effect, except that TT mesons do not even form.
