Abstract

The top pions [Formula: see text] are the typical particles predicted by the top-color-assisted technicolor (TC2) model, and the observation of these particles can be regarded as the direct evidence of the TC2 model. In this paper, we study the charged and neutral top pion production process [Formula: see text]. The results show that the production rates can reach the level of tens of fb with reasonable parameter values. So one can expect that enough signals could be produced in the International Linear Collider (ILC) experiments. Furthermore, the flavor-changing (FC) decay mode [Formula: see text] is the best channel for detecting the neutral top pion, due to the clean SM background. With a large number of events and the clean background, the neutral top pion should be observable in future ILC experiments.
