CP4 3HDM is a unique three-Higgs-doublet model equipped with a higher-order CP symmetry in the scalar and Yukawa sector. Based on a single assumption (the minimal model with a CP-symmetry of order 4 and no accidental symmetry), it leads to a remarkable correlation between its scalar and Yukawa sectors, which echoes in its phenomenology. A recent scan of the parameter space of CP4 3HDM under the assumption of scalar alignment identified a few dozens of points which passed many flavour constraints. In the present work we show, however, that almost all of these points are now ruled out by the recent LHC searches of $t to H^+ b$ with subsequent hadronic decays of $H^+$. Apart from a few points with charged Higgses heavier than the top quark, only one point survives all the checks, the model with an exotic, non-2HDM-like generation pattern of $H^+$ couplings with quarks. One can expect many more points with exotic $H^+$ couplings to quarks if the scalar alignment assumption is relaxed.

In this work we study the flavor changing neutral current(FCNC) decays of the top quark, $tto cgamma$ and $tto c g$. The Standard Model, predictions for the branching ratios of these decays are about $sim 5times 10^{-14}$, and $sim 1times 10^{-12}$, respectively. The recent study presented by the ATLAS Collaboration gives a sensitivity on these branching ratios about $sim 10^{-5}$ at $%95$ C.L. The parameter space of $lambda$, $Lambda$, and $d$ where the branching ratios of $tto cgamma$ and $tto c g$ decays exceed these predictions is obtained.
We consider top quark pair production in association with a hard jet through next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. Top quark decays are treated in the narrow width approximation and spin correlations are retained throughout the computation. We i nclude hard jet radiation by top quark decay products and explore their importance for basic kinematic distributions at the Tevatron and the LHC. Our results suggest that QCD corrections and jet radiation in decays can lead to significant changes in shapes of basic distributions and, therefore, need to be included for the description of ttbar+jet production. We compare the shape of the transverse momentum distribution of a top quark pair recently measured by the D0 collaboration with the result of our computation and find reasonable agreement.
We study the angular distribution of the charged lepton in the top-quark decay into a bottom quark and a W boson which subsequently decays into ell u_{ell}, when a hard gluon is radiated off. The absorptive part of the t to bWg decay amplitudes, whic h gives rise to T-odd asymmetries in the distribution, is calculated at the one-loop level in perturbative QCD. The asymmetries at a few percent level are predicted, which may be observable at future colliders.
We propose a novel strategy to test lepton flavor universality (LFU) in top decays, applicable to top pair production at colliders. Our proposal exploits information in kinematic distributions and mostly hinges on data-driven techniques, thus having very little dependence on our theoretical understanding of top pair production. Based on simplified models accommodating recent hints of LFU violation in charged current B meson decays, we show that existing LHC measurements already provide non-trivial information on the flavor structure and the mass scale of such new physics (NP). We also project that the measurements of LFU in top decays at the high-luminosity LHC could reach a precision at the percent level or below, improving the sensitivity to LFU violating NP in the top sector by more than an order of magnitude compared to existing approaches.
The possibility of detecting double flavor violating top quark transitions $t to u_itau mu$ ($u_i=u,c$) is explored in a model--independent manner, using the effective Lagrangian approach. Low--energy data, on high precision measurements, and current experimental limits are used to constraint the $tu_iH$ and $Htau mu$ vertices and then to calculate the branching ratio BR$(t to u_itau mu)$. If in the Standard Model BR$(t to u_itau mu)$ is of the order of $10^{-13}$$-10^{-14}$, higgs--mediated double flavor violating top quark decays can occur with branching ratios ranging from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$ for 114.4 GeV$/c^2$ $< m_H<$ $2m_W$, that is at the reach of the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
