Introduction LHC : the top quark factory in a sense More than top quarks will be produced at LHC in a year (if LHC works at full power). Top quark couplings will be directly tested. Nondiagonal couplings may be observed. Anomalous top quark couplings are worth examining at present.

No CP violation is predicted in B s -B s mixing in the SM. (No phase in V ts and V tb ) Combined analysis of current data of B s -B s mixing tells us that there exists some CP violation. Our prediction of the phase of M 12 s is dominated by the phase of V tq eff. The phase of B d -B d mixing is directly measured

Top quark decays Nondiagonal top quark decays which is insensitive to ξ s and directly measure V ts eff. Large deviation from the SM prediction is possible.
Note that in the SM Can we measure it?
Model independent study on the anomalous right-handed top quark couplings have been performed. Combined analysis of B→X s γ decays and B q -B q mixing provides valuable information. Constraints on new physics parameters and predictions of departure from the SM are obtained. Nondiagonal top quark decays might examine the tsW coupling independently. Summary -
