Abstract

We report on a study of top pair production at the International Linear Collider (ILC) around center of mass energy (ECM_{\rm CM}) = 350 GeV using an ILD detector simulator based on the Detailed Baseline Design (DBD) configuration. Here we will report on a result of 6-Jet final state, t bartbWbWbqqbqqt\ bar{t} \rightarrow bWbW \rightarrow bqqbqq. A result for the 4-Jet final state, t bartbWbWbqqblνt\ bar{t} \rightarrow bWbW \rightarrow bqqbl\nu, which has almost the same statics as that of the 6-Jet final state will be included in the future. For an energy scan of 11 center of mass energy points (340 - 350GeV) and two beam polarization combinations (P(e+, ee^+,\ e^-) = (±\pm0.3, \mp0.8)) with 10 fb1^{-1} each, the statistical errors on the top quark Yukawa coupling, its mass and width are estimated. The results are δyt\delta y_t = 4.2%, δmt\delta m_t = 16 MeV in potential subtracted scheme (PS), and δΓt\delta \Gamma_t = 21 MeV.
