The rare top decay $t\to c g$ in topcolor assisted technicolor models

Abstract

In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) models, we calculate the contributions of flavor changing scalar couplings involved the neutral top-pion $π_{t}^{0}$ and top-Higgs $h_{t}^{0}$ to the branching ratio $B_{r}(t\longrightarrow cg)$. We find that the value of $B_{r}(t\longrightarrow cg)$ can reach $ 1\times10^{-3}$ with reasonable values of the parameters in TC2 models, which may be testable in the future experiments.
