Search for the FCNC Decay top$\rightarrow$cZ
ORAL
Abstract
We search for the flavor-changing neutral current decay of the top quark t$\rightarrow$cZ at CDF in p-pbar collisions at 1.96 TeV. This decay is extremely rare in the Standard Model and a signal at the Tevatron would be an indication of New Physics. Using Z+jets events with a lifetime tag, we are sensitive to branching fractions less than 10\%.
