Abstract

In this work we study the flavor changing neutral current(FCNC) decays of the top quark, tcγt\to c\gamma and tcgt\to c g. The Standard Model, predictions for the branching ratios of these decays are about 5×1014\sim 5\times 10^{-14}, and 1×1012\sim 1\times 10^{-12}, respectively. The recent study presented by the ATLAS Collaboration gives a sensitivity on these branching ratios about 105\sim 10^{-5} at %95 C.L. The parameter space of λ\lambda, Λ\Lambda, and dd where the branching ratios of tcγt\to c\gamma and tcgt\to c g decays exceed these predictions is obtained.
