We update the Standard Model (SM) predictions for the branching ratios of the rare top-quark decays $t \to cg(g)$, and evaluate the maximum rates that can be reached in the aligned as well as in the four conventional two-Higgs-doublet…
We study the rare top-quark decay t->ch, where h is a generic Higgs boson, at a linear collider. If kinematically accessible, all models contain this decay at some level due to quark flavor mixing. Some models, such as Model III of the…
The calculation of the partial width of the rare t-quark decay into Upsilon-meson, W-boson and b-quark (t -> \Upsilon W b) is presented. The branching ratio equals Br(t -> Upsilon W b) = 1.3 * 10^{-5} that make possible searches for this…
In light of the discovery of a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson ($h$) at the LHC, we investigate the top quark to Higgs boson transition $t\rightarrow W^{*}bh$, which is the leading $t\to h$ decay mode in the SM. We find the decay…
We consider the rare top quark decays in the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model. We find that the contributions of top-pions and top-Higgs predicted by the TC2 model can enhance the SM branching ratios by as much as 6-9…
The two Higgs doublet model for the top (T2HDM) is a 2HDM in which the top quark receives a special status, which endows it with a naturally large mass, and also gives rise to unique FC charged and neutral scalar interactions. We calculate…
For top quark decays into heavy quark mesons $\Upsilon$ and $\bar{B}_c^*$ , a complete calculation to the leading order both in QCD coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and in $v$, the typical velocity of the heavy quarks inside the mesons, is…
In the present study, we investigate the decays of the top quark $t\rightarrow c\gamma$, $t\rightarrow cg$, $t\rightarrow cZ$ and $t\rightarrow ch$. They are extremely rare processes in the Standard Model (SM). As the $U(1)$ extension of…
In this work, we calculate the top quark rare decays t-cgamma and t-cg in the framework where the standard model is embedded in a warped extra dimension with the custodial symmetry SU(3)c*SU(2)L*SU(2)R*U(1)x*PLR. Adopting reasonable…
Top flavour-changing neutral decays are extremely suppressed within the Standard Model (SM) by the GIM mechanism, but can reach observable rates in some of its extensions. We compute the branching ratios for t -> c gamma and t -> c g in…
The rare t-quark decays $t \to c l_j^{+} l_k^{-}$, $t \to c \tilde{\nu_j} \nu_k$ via the scalar leptoquark doublets are investigated in the minimal four color symmetry model with the Higgs mechanism of the quark-lepton mass splitting. The…
The decay of top-quark to light quarks and Higgs boson is an extremely rare process in the Standard Model (SM) framework. Any measurable signal for this process at the LHC is a smoking gun for new physics. In the framework of Minimal…
The rare top quark decays mediated by a new neutral massive gauge boson that is predicted in models with extended gauge symmetries are studied. We focus on the processes $t\to cV, uV$ induced at the one loop level, where $V =\gamma, g$, by…
The recent Tevatron result on the top quark forward-backward asymmetry, which deviates from its standard model prediction by 3.4$\sigma$, has prompted many authors to build new models to account for this anomaly. Among the various…
The heaviness of the top quark makes its 2-body decay mode $t \to bW^+$ to be dominant, at such level that hardly any other decay mode reaches a detectable branching ratio (BR) within the SM. Here we study the decay $t \to bW^+\ell^-\ell^+$…
The flavor changing neutral top quark decay t -> c X is computed, where X is a neutral standard model particle, in a extended model with a single extra dimension. The cases for the photon, X= \gamma$, and a Standard Model Higgs boson, X =…
Top quark production offers the unique opportunity to search for a charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$), as the contribution from $t\to H^+b\to \tau^+\nu b$ can be large in extensions of the Standard Model. We use results from a search for top…
We perform a complete and detailed analysis of the flavor changing neutral current rare top quark decays t-> cl+l- and t->c nu_i bar nu_i at one-loop level in the Standard Model, Two Higgs Doublet Models (I and II) and in MSSM. The…
We investigate extremely rare top quark decays at a future proton-proton collider with centre-of-mass energy of 100 TeV. We focus on two decay modes: radiative decay with a $Z$ boson, $t \rightarrow b WZ$, and flavour-changing neutral decay…
In the so called two Higgs doublet model for the top-quark (T2HDM), first suggested by Das and Kao, the top quark receives a special status, which endows it with a naturally large mass, and also potentially gives rise to large flavor…
