Production of Neutral Top-Pion Associated with a Gauge Boson at LHC

In this paper, we study the production of the neutral top-pion (Π⁰_t) associated with a gauge boson at the LHC, i.e. pp→Π⁰_tV(V=g,W,Z,γ). The cross section of pp→Π⁰_tg is at the level of 10² pb in the most parameter space. Such a process with the flavor-changing decay mode Π⁰_t→ tc might provide viable signatures to detect Π⁰_t at the LHC. The cross sections of other processes pp→Π⁰_tW(Z,γ) are too small to detect Π⁰_t, which open a window to distinguish the Higgs boson in the SM or MSSM from Π⁰_t.
