We perform a detailed study of the process $e^+e^-\to \mu^+\mu^-\nu_l\bar\nu_l$ including all contributions. The contributions other than from real gauge boson production leads to a rich phenomenology. We explore the use of the process as a…

In the general two Higgs doublet model with flavor changing neutral Higgs couplings, neutral Higgs bosons may decay dominantly via $t\bar c$ or $\bar tc$ final states. At the linear collider, $e^+e^- \to h^0A^0$ or $H^0A^0$ production…
