Abstract

We study the decay tcγt\rightarrow c\gamma with flavor-changing neutral interactions in scalar sector of the type III Two Higgs Doublet Model (THDM-III) with mixing between neutral scalar fields as a result of considering the most general scalar potential. The branching ratio of the decay Br(tcγ)Br(t\rightarrow c\gamma) is calculated as function of the mixing parameters and masses of the neutral scalar fields. We obtain a Br(tcγ)Br(t\rightarrow c\gamma) of the order of 10810^{-8} for the considered regions of the mixing parameters. Finally, one upper bound for the possible events is estimated to be n=18n=18 by assuming a expected luminosity of the order of 300 fb1fb^{-1}.
