Top-Quark Decay Via Flavor-Changing Neutral Currents at Hadron Colliders

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

We study low energy experimental constraints on an anomalous top-quark coupling associated with the flavor-changing neutral current vertex ZtˉcZ \bar t c. In view of these constraints, we discuss the experimental observability of the induced rare decay mode tZct \rightarrow Zc, both at the Fermilab Tevatron (with the Main Injector or a luminosity-upgrade) and at the LHC.
