The above results are obtained under the assumption that the gauge-invariance-violating form factor ($F_{1A}^\gamma$) and the CP-violating form factors ($F_{2A}^{\gamma,Z}$) vanish, to allow for a one-to-one and straightforward comparison with Ref.~\cite{Baer_2013}. From an experimental point-of-view, however, there is no a-priori  reason why these form factors could not be extracted from the measurements of the lepton angular and energy distributions. The present  study is therefore extended, with $2.4\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ ab}^{-1}$  at $\sqrt{s} = 365\,GeV$, to the following two configurations by relaxing the constraints on $F_{1A}^\gamma$, $F_{2A}^\gamma$ and $F_{2A}^Z$: either the four form factors $F_{1V,A}^X$ are varied simultaneously while the four $F_{2V,A}^X$ are fixed to their standard model values, or vice-versa. In the first configuration, it turns out that relaxing the constraint on $F^\gamma_{1A}$ does not sizeably change the precision on the other three $F^X_{1V,A}$ form factors, as shown in Table~\ref{tab:f1}. A per-cent accuracy is also  obtained on $F^\gamma_{1A}$. \begin{table}  \begin{center}  \caption{\label{tab:f1} Precision on the four form factors $F_{1V,A}^X$, $F_{1V,A}^X$  expected with $2.4\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ ab}^{-1}$  at $\sqrt{s} = 365$\,GeV at the FCC-ee, if $F_{1A}^\gamma$ is fixed to its standard model value (first row) or if this constraint is relaxed (second raw).} raw).

Indeed, the distributions related to  $F_{2A}^\gamma$ and $F_{2A}^Z$ form factors are CP odd, while those related to  $F_{2V}^\gamma$ and $F_{2A}^Z$ are CP even. The With vanishing correlation coefficients, the  two pairs of form factors can therefore be determined independently from each other, with vanishing correlation coefficients.

The precisions on $F_{2V}^\gamma$  and $F_{2A}^Z$ can be achieved $F_{2A}^Z$, expected  with the difference of the ($x, \cos\theta$) distribution of the $\ell^+$ for events in which the top decays leptonically, and the ($x, -\cos\theta$) distribution of the $\ell^-$ for events in which the anti-top decays leptonically. Such a distribution $2.4\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 365$\,GeV at the FCC-ee,  is expected thus unchanged with respect  to be identically 0 in the standard model and for Fig.~\ref{fig:baer} when  the other six form factors (which are all CP odd), hence depends solely of constraint on  $F_{2A}^\gamma$ and $F_{2A}^Z$. Conversely, the sum of the ($x, \cos\theta$) distribution of the $\ell^+$ and the ($x, -\cos\theta$) distribution of the $\ell^-$ $F_{2A}^Z$  is expected relaxed, and amount  to $8.1\, 10^{-4}$ and $2.3\, 10^{-3}$ respectively. With $500\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 500$\,GeV, the precisions would  be identically zero for these two form factors, hence depends solely of $F_{2V}^\gamma$ $2.5\, 10^{-3}$  and $F_{2V}^Z$, when all $F_{1A,V}^X$ form factors are fixed to their standard model values. $8.3\, 10^{-3}$ respectively.  Theprecision expected on the $F_{2V,A}^X$ form factors is summarized in Table~\ref{tab:f2}.

Such an analysis will be carried out when a complete simulation and reconstruction in a realistic detector become available for the FCC-ee study.
