Abstract
Searches for flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) in events with top quarks and the Z or the Higgs boson are presented by the CMS Collaboration. These searches use proton-proton collision events taken by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the branching fractions of t→qZ and t→qH decays. In addition, angular distributions of B0 and B+ decays are presented. These measurements are found to be consistent with predictions based on the standard model.
