We find that the top quark polarization asymmetry δPt and the left-right asymmetry δALR can respectively reach -35% and -37.5% for s = 500 GeV and s = 1000 GeV via e+e- collision, which can reach the observable level at the ILC. By contrast, the spin correlation δC is smaller. The correlation behaviors of these observables at the e+e- collision and the yy, collision will be helpful to distinguish different models and test the LHT model at the ILC.展开更多
