Abstract

In the general two Higgs doublet model with flavor changing neutral Higgs couplings, neutral Higgs bosons may decay dominantly via tcˉt\bar c or tˉc\bar tc final states. At the linear collider, e+eh0A0e^+e^- \to h^0A^0 or H0A0H^0A^0 production processes may result in 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. The process γγh0, A0tcˉ\gamma\gamma \to h^0,\ A^0 \to t\bar c is also promising, but e+e(h0, H0)Z0tcˉZ0e^+e^- \to (h^0,\ H^0) Z^0 \to t\bar c Z^0 is relatively suppressed. The possibility of observing like sign lepton pairs, usually the hallmark for neutral meson mixing, is quite interesting since T0T^0 mesons do not even form.
