Flavor changing effects on the processes \tch, \eebs, \eebsh and \ppbs in the LHT model are investigated in this paper. We calculate the one-loop level contributions from the T-parity odd mirror quarks and gauge bosons. The results show…
We explore Two Higgs Doublet Models with non-standard flavor structures. In analogy to the four, well studied, models with natural flavor conservation (type 1, type 2, lepton-specific, flipped), we identify four models that preserve an…
In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT), the mirror quarks have flavor structures and will contribute to the top quark flavor changing neutral current. In this work, we perform an extensive investigation of the top quark rare…
We study low energy experimental constraints on an anomalous top-quark coupling associated with the flavor-changing neutral current vertex $Z \bar t c$. In view of these constraints, we discuss the experimental observability of the induced…
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 the contest of a Two Higgs Doublet Model without flavor conservation, the presence of Flavor Changing Neutral Scalar Currents may affect in particular the couplings of the top quark. Some ideas on how to look for new signals from Flavor…
We point out that the stringent lower bounds on the masses of additional electrically neutral and charged Higgs bosons crucially depend on the flavour structure of their Yukawa interactions. We show that these bounds can easily be evaded by…
In many extensions of the Standard Model flavour changing neutral current processes can be mediated by tree-level heavy neutral scalars and/or pseudo-scalars H^0(A^0). This generally introduces new sources of flavour violation and CP…
We compute the branching ratios for the rare top quark decays t to c gamma and t to c Z mediated by effective flavor changing neutral couplings at the next-to-leading order in QCD including the effects due to operator mixing. After…
Despite the tremendous success of the Standard Model, the arguments for the necessity of an extension are compelling. An attractive option is provided by Two-Higgs-Doublet models, due to their simplicity and them being the low-energy limit…
We investigate the prospects of discovering the top quark decay into a charm quark and a Higgs boson ($t \to c h^0$) in top quark pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A general two Higgs doublet model is adopted to study…
We explore the flavor-changing parameters mediated by a Higgs boson within the THDM-III context. In particular, the $h\to t^* c$ processes, and check the high suppression for the FC in the THDM-III context for the low $t_\beta$ parameters.…
Flavour-Changing-Neutral-Currents (FCNC) play an important r\^ ole in testing the Standard Model (SM) while probing the possibility of having New Physics beyond the SM. In the SM, FCNC are forbidden at three level, but arise through…
Our main aim in this paper is to present detailed studies to probe the top quark flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions at $tqg$, $tq\gamma$, $tqH$ and $tqZ (\sigma^{\mu \nu}, \gamma_{\mu})$ vertices in the triple-top signal $p…

The flavour changing decays of the top quark are severely suppressed in the Standard Model by virtue of the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism. Many beyond Standard Model extensions predict the decay rates at a level that is observable in…
