Abstract

We consider the flavor changing neutral current(FCNC) process e+etˉce^{+}e^{-}\to\bar{t}c(or tcˉt\bar{c}) in the context of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) models. We find that the contributions of charged scalars (technipions and top-pions) and topcolor gauge bosons are negligibly small. The neutral scalars (top-pion πt0\pi_{t}^{0} and top-Higgs ht0h_{t}^{0}) can give significant contributions to this process. With reasonable values of the parameters in TC2 models, there will be several tens of the observable tˉc\bar{t}c events to be generated in the future e+ee^{+}e^{-} linear colliders.
