The flavor-changing rare top decays $t\to c V V$ in topcolor-assisted technicolor theory

Abstract

In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) theory, we calculate the contributions of the scalars(the neutral top-pion $\pi_{t}^{0}$ and the top-Higgs $h_{t}^{0}$) to the flavor-changing rare top decays $t\to c V V$(V= W, g, $\gamma$ or Z). Our results show that $h_{t}^{0}$ can enhance the standard model $B_{r}^{SM}(t\longrightarrow cWW)$ by several orders of magnitude for most of the parameter space. The peak of the branching ratio resonance emerges when the top-Higgs mass is between $2m_{W}$ and $m_{t}$. The branching ratio $B_{r}(t\to c W W)$ can reach $10^{-3}$ in the narrow range.Comment: Latex file, 11pages, 2 eps figure
