We present the results of a search for a very light CP-odd Higgs boson $a_1^0$ originating from top quark decays t -> H^+ b -> W^+ a_1^0 b, and subsequently decaying into tau-tau. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated…
Searches for a charged Higgs boson ($H^\pm$) decaying to a charm quark and a bottom quark ($H^\pm \to cb$) have been carried out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the decay of top quarks ($t\to H^\pm b$). In a recent search by the ATLAS…
In this paper, we study rare semileptonic decays of B_c meson in the context of type-I, II, and III two Higgs doublet model. We follow the relativistic quark model for parameterizing the form factors used in matrix elements of weak…
The apparent excess of $Z \rightarrow b \bar b$ events at LEP may be an indication of new physics beyond the standard model. However, in either the two-Higgs-doublet model or the minimal supersymmetric standard model, any explanation would…
In order to explain the Tevatron anomaly of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}^t$ in the left-right twin Higgs model, we choose to give up the lightest neutral particle of $\hat{h}$ field as a stable dark matter candidate.…
An SU(2) vectorlike singlet quark with a charge either +2/3 (t') or -1/3 (b') is predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model. The mixing of these quarks with the top or bottom lead to Flavor Changing Yukawa Interactions and Neutral…

We study the production of a heavy charged Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in $gb\to H^{-} t$ within a Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM). The chiral structure of the $H^{-} t \bar{b}$ coupling can trigger a particular spin state…
The LHC is a promising machine to discover new physics in the top sector. There are several models that predict the existence of heavy colored resonances decaying to top quarks in the TeV energy range. The production of such resonances…
Top quark and Higgs boson decays induced by flavor-changing neutra currents (FCNC) are very much suppressed in the Standard Model (SM). Their detection in colliders like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), Next Linear Collider (NLC) or…
The possibility of a light charged Higgs boson $H^\pm$ that decays predominantly to quarks ($cs$ and/or $cb$) and with a mass in the range 80 GeV $\le m_{H^\pm} \le 90$ GeV is studied in the context of Three-Higgs-Doublet Models (3HDMs). At…
There is a question about the identity of the top quark. Is it the top quark of the Standard Model (SM) with electric charge 2/3 or is it an exotic quark with charge -4/3? An exotic quark has been proposed by D. Chang et…
Uniquely heavy with mass at the weak scale, the top quark may have large flavor changing couplings to Higgs bosons that are as yet unexplored. We show that such couplings can be directly probed at the LHC through the parton subprocess…
Concentrating on the impact of the very recent top quark discovery, we perform a combined analysis of two strongest constraints on the 2 Higgs doublet model, one coming from the recent measurement by CLEO on the inclusive branching ratio of…
The collider experiments at the Tevatron and the LHC provide us the possibility of probing the existence of a light charged Higgs boson. In this paper we study semi-leptonic decay of a polarized top quark via the charged Higgs boson…
Results are presented on a search for a light charged Higgs boson that can be produced in the decay of the top quark to charged H and b quark and which, in turn, decays into tau and tau neutrino. The analysed data correspond to an…
We study the anomalous production of a single top quark in association with a Higgs boson at the LHC originating from flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions in $tqg$ and $tqH$ vertices. We derive the discovery potentials and…
We present a search for a new heavy particle $M$ produced in association with a top quark, $p\bar{p}\rightarrow t(M \rightarrow \bar{t}q)$ or $p\bar{p}\rightarrow \bar{t}(\bar{M}\rightarrow t\bar{q})$, where $q$ stands for up quarks and…
Charged Higgs scalars light enough to contribute to top quark decays are possible in various non--minimal Higgs models. We show that such a decay would be consistent with the current Tevatron data, and will remain hidden until a larger…
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…
