We consider lepton flavour violating decays of the top quark, mediated by four-fermion operators. We compile constraints on a complete set of SU(3)*U(1)-invariant operators, arising from their loop contributions to rare decays and from HERA's single top search. The bounds on e-mu flavour change are more restrictive than l-tau; nonetheless the top could decay to a jet $+ e \bar{\mu}$ with a branching ratio of order $10^{-3}$. We estimate that the currently available LHC data (20 inverse-fb at 8 TeV) could be sensitive to $BR(t \to e \bar{\mu}$+ jet) $ \sim 6\times 10^{-5}$, and extrapolate that 100 inverse-fb at 13 TeV could reach a sensitivity of $ \sim 1 \times 10^{-5}$.

  1. Counting b-jets at the FCC-ee as a probe of top-quark flavor physics

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    FCC-ee at 240 GeV can probe Λ_eff ∼ 7–13 TeV for scalar, vector and tensor eetu/eetc operators by counting b_P-odd single-b-jet multi-jet events.

  2. Flavor physics at the EIC with b-jet tagging

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    Single b-jet counting in charged-current events at the EIC could probe new flavor-changing physics up to Λ_eff ≈ 5 TeV, about 30 times the collider energy, assuming tight b-tagging and polarized beams.
