Through top-quark pair productions at LHC, we study possible effects of nonstandard top–gluon couplings yielded by SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) invariant dimension-6 effective operators. We calculate the total cross section and also some distributions for
as functions of two anomalous-coupling parameters, i.e., the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments of the top, which are constrained by the total cross section
measured at Tevatron. We find that LHC might give us some chances to observe sizable effects induced by those new couplings.
