Abstract

In terms of an effective Lagrangian we investigate the possibilities of probing anomalous top quark couplings, ttˉHt \bar{t} H, γttˉ\gamma t \bar{t}, ZttˉZ t \bar{t} and tWbtWb at the future linear colliders. It is found that probing anomalous top quark couplings, ttˉHt \bar{t} H, γttˉ\gamma t \bar{t}, ZttˉZ t \bar{t} and tWbtWb at the future linear colliders. It is found that at a linear collider with a c.m.energy s0.51.5\sqrt s \sim 0.5-1.5 TeV and a high luminosity of 10-1000 fb1^{-1}, e+ettˉHe^+e^- \to t \bar{t} H is an ideal process in probing anomalous ttˉHt \bar t H couplings. We also study in detail the effects of anomalous couplings on ttˉt \bar{t} spin correlations in the top pair production as well as the top quark decay processes with three bases (helicity, beam line and off-diagonal bases). Our results show that with a c. m. energy s0.51\sqrt s \sim 0.5-1 TeV and a high luminosity of 1-100 fb1^{-1}, the anomalous couplings γttˉ\gamma t \bar{t}, ZttˉZ t\bar{t} and tWbtWb may be sensitively probed.
