D. Atwood et al., PROBING FLAVOR-CHANGING TOP-CHARM-SCALAR INTERACTIONS IN E(-) COLLISIONS()E(), Physical review. D. Particles and fields, 53(3), 1996, pp. 1199-1201
Because of the very large mass of the top quark, probing the flavor-ch
anging top-charm-scalar vertex is clearly very important. Fortunately
the largeness of m(t) endows a unique signature to the resulting react
ion, i.e., e(+)e(-) --> <t(c)over bar>(<(t)over bar c>),that should be
helpful in identification of such events. A two Higgs doublet model,
without natural flavor conservation, is used to give an illustrative e
stimate for the rate for these reactions.
