The most general parametrization of the $tbW$ vertex includes a right coupling $V_R$ that is zero at tree level in the standard model. This quantity may be measured at the Large Hadron Collider where the physics of the top decay is…
The measurement of the top quark pair production cross section in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV is a test of quantum chromodynamics and could potentially be sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model. I report on the…
A four generation supersymmetric model is proposed, in which the Tevatron ``top-quark'' events are reinterpreted as the production of $t^\prime$ which decays dominantly to $bW^+$. In this model, $m_t\simeq m_W$, and $t\rta\widetilde…

Due to the absence of hadronization effects and the large top mass, top quark decay will be uniquely sensitive to fundamental electroweak physics at the Tevatron, at the LHC, and at a future linear collider. A complete measurement of the…

We computed the bottom-quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron in the Standard Model and for several new physics scenarios. Near the $Z$-pole, the SM bottom asymmetry is dominated by tree level exchanges of electroweak gauge…
We search for the production of single top quarks via flavor-changing neutral current couplings of a gluon to the top quark and a charm (c) or up (u) quark. We analyze 230 pb^{-1} of lepton+jets data from \ppbar collisions at a center of…

Neutrino-electron scattering is a purely leptonic fundamental interaction and therefore provides an important channel to test the Standard Model, especially at the low energy-momentum transfer regime. We derived constraints on neutrino…
