Search for Flavor-Changing Neutral Currents in Top-Quark Decays t → Zq in pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV

A search for flavor-changing neutral currents in top-quark decays t → Zq is performed in events produced from the decay chain t[bar over t] → Zq + Wb, where both vector bosons decay leptonically, producing a final state with three leptons (electrons or muons). A data set collected with the CMS detec...
