We briefly review the studies on the top quark FCNC processes at a next-generation linear collider. Such processes, including various FCNC top quark rare decays and top-charm associated productions, are extremely suppressed in the standard…
We evaluate the top-quark FCNC productions induced by the topcolor assisted technicolor (TC2) model at the LHC. These productions proceed respectively through the parton-level processes g g -> t c_bar, c g->t, c g -> t g, c g -> t Z and c g…
If new physics (e.g. SUSY) does not show up as direct evidence at the LHC, it could still be observable in FCNC processes involving the $t$-quark. We take a close look at the process $t\to c + h/Z$ and show that its branching ratio in the…

Flavor Changing Neutral Current decays of the top quark within the strict context of the Standard Model are known to be extremely rare. In fact, they are hopelessly undetectable at the Tevatron, LHC and LC in any of their scheduled…
If the LHC should fail to observe direct signals for new physics, it may become necessary to look for new physics effects in rare events such as flavour-changing decays of the top quark, which, in the Standard Model, are predicted to be too…
The study of Standard Model (SM) physics is crucial at the LHC for several reasons. Before any discovery can be claimed a detailed understanding of the detectors should be reached and benchmark SM processes should be measured. A precise…
Flavour-changing-neutral currents (FCNCs) involving the top quark are highly suppressed within the Standard Model (SM). Hence, any signal in current or planned future collider experiments would constitute a clear manifestation of physics…
We survey the flavor-changing neutral couplings (FCNC) of the top quark predicted by some extensions of the Standard Model: THDM, SUSY, L-R symmetric, TC2, 331, and models with extra quarks. Since the expected sensitivity of the LHC and ILC…
The search for new physics in top quark decays at the LHC is reviewed in this paper. Results from ATLAS and CMS experiments on top quark decays within the Standard Model are presented together with the measurements of the W boson…
Top quark decays are of particular interest as a mean to test the standard model (SM) predictions, both for the dominant ($t\to b+W$) and rare decays ($t\to q+W, cV, cVV,c\phi^0,bWZ$). As the latter are highly suppressed, they become an…
Theoretical predictions for standard model (SM) processes involving top quarks, such as top quark-antiquark pair or single top production, depend on fundamental SM parameters like the strong coupling constant or the top quark mass. By…
