Abstract

We present a search for flavor changing neutral currents in decays of top quarks. The analysis is based on a search for tt‾→l'νll + jets (l,l'=e,μ) final states using 4.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity of pp‾ collisions at √s=1.96 TeV. We extract limits on the branching ratio B(t→ Zq) (q=u,c quarks), assuming anomalous tuZ or tcZ couplings. We do not observe any sign of such anomalous coupling and set a limit of B< 3.2% at 95% C.L.
