We investigate the prospects of discovering the top quark decay into a charm quark and a Higgs boson ($t to c h^0$) in top quark pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A general two Higgs doublet model is adopted to study flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) interactions. We perform a parton level analysis as well as Monte Carlo simulations using textsc{Pythia}~8 and textsc{Delphes} to study the flavor changing top quark decay $t to c h^0$, followed by the Higgs decaying into $tau^+ tau^-$, with the other top quark decaying to a bottom quark ($b$) and two light jets ($tto bWto bjj$). To reduce the physics background to the Higgs signal, only the leptonic decays of tau leptons are used, $tau^+tau^- to e^pmmu^mp +slashed{E}_T$, where $slashed{E}_T$ represents the missing transverse energy from the neutrinos. In order to reconstruct the Higgs boson and top quark masses as well as to effectively remove the physics background, the collinear approximation for the highly boosted tau decays is employed. Our analysis suggests that a high energy LHC at $sqrt{s} = 27$ TeV will be able to discover this FCNH signal with an integrated luminosity $mathcal{L} = 3$ ab$^{-1}$ for a branching fraction ${cal B}(t to ch^0) agt 1.4 times 10^{-4}$ that corresponds to a FCNH coupling $|lambda_{tch}| agt 0.023$. This FCNH coupling is significantly below the current ATLAS combined upper limit of $|lambda_{tch}| = 0.064$.

We investigate the prospects for discovering a top quark decaying into one light Higgs boson along with a charm quark in top quark pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A general two Higgs doublet model is adopted to study the sign ature of flavor changing neutral Higgs decay $t to cphi^0$, %or $bar{t} to bar{c}phi^0$ where $phi^0$ could be CP-even ($H^0$) or CP-odd ($A^0$). The dominant physics background is evaluated with realistic acceptance cuts as well as tagging and mistagging efficiencies. For a reasonably large top-charm-Higgs coupling ($lambda_{tc}/lambda_{t} agt 0.09$), the abundance of signal events and the %that our acceptance cuts reduction in physics background allow us to establish a $5sigma$ signal for $M_phi sim 125$ GeV at the LHC with a center of mass energy ($sqrt{s}$) of 8 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 20 fb$^{-1}$. The discovery potential will be greatly enhanced with the full energy of $sqrt{s} = 14$ TeV.
The size of the branching ratios for the $tau to mu gamma$ and $tau to mu gamma gamma$ decays induced by a lepton flavor violating Higgs interaction $Htau mu$ is studied in the frame of effective field theories. The best constraint on the $Htau mu$ v ertex, derived from the know measurement on the muon anomalous magnetic moment, is used to impose the upper bounds $Br(tau to mu gamma)<2.5times 10^{-10}$ and $Br(tau to mu gamma gamma)<2.3times 10^{-12}$, which are more stringent than current experimental limits on this class of transitions.

We investigate the prospects for discovering a top quark decaying into one light Higgs boson ($h^0$) along with a charm quark ($c$) in top quark pair production at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and future hadron colliers. A general two Higgs d oublet model is adopted to study the signature of flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) interactions with $t to c h^0$, followed by $h^0 to WW^* to ell^+ ell^- + otE_T$, where $h^0$ is the CP-even Higgs boson and $ otE_T$ stands for missing transverse energy from neutrinos. We study the discovery potential for this FCNH signal and physics background from dominant processes with realistic acceptance cuts as well as tagging and mistagging efficiencies. Promising results are found for the LHC running at 13 TeV and 14 TeV center-of-mass energy as well as future pp colliders at 27 TeV and 100 TeV.
A general two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) is adopted to study the signature of flavor changing neutral Higgs (FCNH) decay $phi^0 to tbar{c}+bar{t}c$, where $phi^0$ could be a CP-even scalar ($H^0$) or a CP-odd pseudoscalar ($A^0$). Measurement of the light 125 GeV neutral Higgs boson ($h^0$) couplings at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) favor the decoupling limit or the alignment limit of a 2HDM, in which gauge boson and diagonal fermion couplings of $h^0$ approach Standard Model values. In such limit, FCNH couplings of $h^0$ are naturally suppressed by a small mixing parameter $cos(beta-alpha)$, while the off-diagonal couplings of heavier neutral scalars $phi^0$ are sustained by $sin(beta-alpha) sim 1$. We study physics background from dominant processes with realistic acceptance cuts and tagging efficiencies. Promising results are found for the LHC running at 13 or 14 TeV collision energies.
With high luminosity and energy at the ILC and clean SM backgrounds, the top-charm production at the ILC should have powerful potential to probe new physics. The littlest Higgs model with discrete symmetry named T-parity(LHT) is one of the most promi sing new physics models. In this paper, we study the FC processes $e^+e^-(gammagamma)to tbar{c}$ at the ILC in the LHT model. Our study shows that the LHT model can make a significant contribution to these processes. When the masses of mirror quarks become large, these two processes are accessible at the ILC. So the top-charm production at the ILC provides a unique way to study the properties of the FC couplings in the LHT model and furthermore test the model.
