Observation of a pseudoscalar excess at the $t\bar{t}$ threshold

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2025-12-22 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

The CMS Collaboration recently observed a pseudoscalar excess of top quark-antiquark (ttˉt\bar{t}) events near the production threshold. One possible interpretation involves the formation of a short-lived quasi-bound state of ttˉt\bar{t}. This proceeding summarizes the first presentation of the results at the 59th Rencontres de Moriond and outlines its potential implications.
