Description
In the Standard Model, FCNC top decays, are very strongly suppressed. Observing such a decay would be a direct signature of physics beyond the SM as large enhancements are possible in many "new physics" scenarios. A full simulation study for CLIC at 380 GeV based on a WHIZARD simulation of FCNC top decay t -> c gamma within the 2HDM(III) model is performed. An update on this analysis including background suppression of standard top decay channels (cut based and TMVA) is presented, including a first estimate of the discovery limit.
