We consider the top forward-backward (FB) asymmetry at the Tevatron and top charge asymmetry at the LHC within chiral U(1)^\prime models with flavor-dependent U(1)^\prime charges and flavored Higgs fields, which were introduced in the ref.…
The new measurement of $W$-boson mass by the CDF collaboration revealed a remarkable $7\sigma$ disagreement with the Standard Model (SM) prediction. If confirmed by other experiments, then the disagreement strongly indicates the existence…
We investigate the higher repulsive branches of one-dimensional (1D) bosonic and fermionic quantum gases beyond the super-Tonks-Girardeau regime, utilizing the Bethe-Ansatz method and exact diagonalization of small trapped clusters. In…
Notwithstanding decades of progress since Yukawa first developed a description of the force between nucleons in terms of meson exchange, a full understanding of the strong interaction remains a major challenge in modern science. One…
In this paper we re-examine how to utilize the previous proposed color-octet axial-vector boson $Z_{\rm C}$ to explain the $3.4\sigma$ anomaly of $t\bar t$ forward-backward (FB) asymmetry $A_{\rm FB}$ for $m_{t\bar t}> 450$GeV observed by…
We propose that, within the standard model, the correlation between the $t\bar{t}$ forward--backward asymmetry $A_{t\bar t}$ and the corresponding lepton-based asymmetry $A_l$ -- at the differential level -- is strong and rather clean both…
Axigluons are colored heavy neutral gauge boson that couple to quarks through an axial vector current and the same strong coupling as gluons. The most important model-independent manifestation of axigluons is the generation of a…
We analyze whether and how the neutron resonance mode in unconventional superconductors is affected by higher order corrections in the coupling between spin excitations and fermionic quasiparticles and find that in general such corrections…
We study the connection between the same sign top (SST) and the top quark forward-backward asymmetry $A^t_{FB}$. We find that a large class of new physics models that have been proposed to account for the $A^t_{FB}$ lead to SST quark…
We calculate the forward backward asymmetry of the top-pair production at TEVATRON up to next to leading order (NLO) in the little Higgs model (LHM). We find that the contribution of $Z_H$ can be large enough to make up the gap between…
The mechanism explaining the key role of AFM correlations in formation of the heavy fermion state is offered. It is shown that in the case of $(T^*-T_N)/T_N << 1$ the critical spin fluctuations transform the mean-field second-order…
We explore the density and spin self-ordering of driven spin-$1/2$ collisionless fermionic atoms coupled to the electromagnetic fields of a ring resonator. The two spin states are two-photon Raman-coupled via a pair of degenerate…
In this work we study the possible occurrence of topological insulators for 2D fermions of high spin. They can be realized in cold fermion systems with ground-state atomic spin $F>\tfrac{1}{2}$, if the optical potential is properly…
Using Hartree-Fock orbitals with residual Coulomb repulsion, we study spinless fermions in a two dimensional random potential. When we increase the system size $L$ at fixed particle density, the size dependence of the average inverse…
We consider, at order $\alpha_s^2$ in the QCD coupling, top-quark pair production in the continuum at various center-of-mass energies and $b$-quark pair production at the $Z$ resonance by (un)polarized electron and positron beams. For top…
Top-antitop pairs produced at hadron colliders are largely unpolarized, but their spins are highly correlated. The structure of these correlations varies significantly over top production phase space, allowing very detailed tests of the…

Top spin correlation has been shown to be nontrivial in hadronic top-pair production, and can be realized by the asymmetries of the decay products of the top quark and antiquark. We show in this work that the top spin correlation is a…
