Abstract
In this paper, we examine the sensitivity of the three top quark production at the LHC to the top quark
flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNC) as well as the sensitivity of the four top production to the strong
and weak dipole moments of the top quark. Upper limits at 95% CL on the branching fractions of
Bðt → qXÞ, where X ¼ g, Z, γ, H and q ¼ u, c, are set by performing an analysis on three top events in the
same-sign dilepton channel. We consider the main sources of the background processes and a realistic
detector simulation is performed at the center-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. In the second part of this work,
based on the recent upper limits which have been set on the four top quark cross section by the ATLAS and
CMS collaborations from 13 TeV data, we constrain the top quark strong and weak dipole moments. The
bounds on the top quark dipole moments are presented using the future LHC prospects for four top quark
cross-section measurements.
