Overview on top couplings measurements is presented, and the prospects of future measurements are discussed. The coupling of top to the W boson can be examined either by looking at the decay of the top quark or from single top quark…
In scenarios that stabilize the electroweak scale, the top quark is typically accompanied by partner particles. In this work, we demonstrate how extended stabilizing symmetries can yield scalar or fermionic top partners that transform as…

We present an in-depth analysis of axions and axion-like particles in top-pair production at the LHC. Our main goal is to probe the axion coupling to top quarks at high energies. To this end, we calculate the top-antitop cross section and…
Top quark polarization in $e^+e^-$ annihilation into $t\bar t$ is calculated for linearly polarized beams. The Green function formalism is applied to this reaction near threshold. The Lippmann--Schwinger equations for the $S$-wave and…

At future $\gamma \gamma$ colliders copious production of $t \bar{t}$ pairs is possible. This would allow a detailed investigation of the interactions involving the top quark. We propose some orrelations which are sensitive to $t \bar{t}$…

We study the spin properties of top quarks produced in collisions of polarized photons in the threshold region. For a relatively heavy top quark the influence of non-perturbative effects is small and its polarization parameters can be…
Heavy squark decays into top and charginos or neutralinos could be an unexpected source of top quarks at hadron colliders. A detailed treatment of these processes is necessary for a reliable calculation of both the top quark production…

Top polarisation measurements at the LHC are often performed using template methods. I discuss the role of quantum interference between polarisation states - which is mostly overlooked in the literature. Furthermore, I argue which is the…
We study the phenomenology of a light stop NLSP in the presence of large mixing with either the first or the second generation. R-symmetric models provide a prime setting for this scenario, but our discussion also applies to the MSSM when a…
