We present a search for a new heavy particle $M$ produced in association with a top quark, $p\bar{p}\rightarrow t(M \rightarrow \bar{t}q)$ or $p\bar{p}\rightarrow \bar{t}(\bar{M}\rightarrow t\bar{q})$, where $q$ stands for up quarks and…

New particles at the TeV scale can decay hadronically with strongly collimated jets, thus the standard reconstruction methods based on invariant-masses of well-separated jets can fail. We discuss how to identify such particles in pp…
We consider top quark pair production in association with a hard jet through next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. Top quark decays are treated in the narrow width approximation and spin correlations are retained throughout the…
Possibilities are discussed for determining the top quark mass $m_t$ from observations on the decay processes for top-antitop pairs produced in antiproton-proton collisions, assuming that the $t \to bW^+$ decay channel is dominant and much…
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the first machine that provides high enough energy to produce large numbers of boosted top quarks. The decay products of these top quarks are confined to a cone in the top quark flight direction and can be…
Top quarks produced in multi-TeV processes will have large Lorentz boosts, and their decay products will be highly collimated. In semileptonic decay modes, this often leads to the merging of the b-jet and the hard lepton according to…
