Top-Quark FCNC Decay t-cgg in Topcolor-assisted Technicolor(2)

The topcolor-assisted technicolor (TC2) model predicts several pseudo-scalars called top-pions and at loop level they can induce the FCNC top quark decay t->cgg which is extremely suppressed in the Standard Model (SM). We find that in the allowed parameter
