Abstract:
We examine the decays tcγt\rightarrow c\gamma and cZ 0c Z~0 in two-Higgs doublet models where there is no discrete symmetry preventing tree-level flavour changing neutral currents. Flavour changing couplings of neutral Higgs scalars are assumed to be proportional to fermion masses, evading bounds on FCNC's from the light quark sector. These rare top decays may be visible at the SSC.
