We study the single production of charged Higgs bosons in e+e- collisions, chiefly in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Our analysis complements foregoing studies of the pair production channel especially in regions where the…
The production of a single top quark at LHC may occur through charged-current electroweak interactions, i.e. via three different processes: the s-channel exchange of a virtual W boson, the t-channel exchange of a virtual W boson and the…
The weak decay of a polarized top quark has a rich structure of angular correlations among its decay products. We describe some of the noteworthy features of such decays. We then examine the three modes of single top production, with an…
We present a search for new physics using events with two same-sign isolated leptons with/out the presence of b-jets in the final state, targetting two very different SUSY scenarios, one dominated by strong production of squarks and gluinos…
The rare decays {$B^- \to \tau \bar\nu$}, \mbox{$B \to \tau^+ \tau^-$}, {$b \to X \nu \bar\nu$} and \mbox{$b \to X \tau^+ \tau^-$} all contain third generation leptons in the final state, and hence are sensitive to new physics that couples…
The prospects of single top quark physics at colliders of the TeV energy scale are discussed. Single top quark study allows a direct measurement of the $Wtb$ vertex and a precise probing physics beyond the Standard Model in various…
This paper complements the study of single top production at the LHC aiming to estimate the sensitivity of different observables to the magnitude of the effective couplings. In a previous paper the dominant $W$-gluon fusion mechanism was…
In models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking which sensitively involve the third generation, such as top quark condensation, the effects of the new dynamics can show up experimentally in Z->b\bar{b}. We compare the sensitivity of…
High-energy photon-proton interactions at the LHC offer interesting possibilities for the study of top properties. Using a fast simulation of a LHC-like detector, first results on the measurement of the |V_{tb}| matrix element using Wt…
We consider whether Wt production can be considered as a distinct production process at the LHC, separate from top pair production with which it interferes. We argue that this problem can be meaningfully addressed in an MC@NLO calculation,…
We present an updated version of the FEWZ (Fully Exclusive W and Z production) code for the calculation of W and gamma*/Z production at next-to-next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. Several new features and observables are…
We explore new EFT operators where single new exotic states interact with the Standard Model through an asymmetric Standard Model portal with couplings to at least one quark and one W boson. Effective operators up to dimension 6 are…
This article reports on recent searches for single-top-quark production by the CDF and DO collaborations at the Tevatron. Neither two CDF analyses, using data corresponding to 695 pb^-1 of integrated luminosity, nor a DO search based on 370…
We study the $t\bar t b \bar b$ final state at the LHC as a probe of New Physics that couples mainly to third generation of quarks. We analyze New Physics simplified models with resonances of spin 0, 1 and 2. The sensitivity of the final…
Supersymmetry is one of the most motivated scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model. This article summarizes recent ATLAS results on searches for supersymmetry in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at LHC,…

We investigate the TeV models for neutrino mass generation as candidate models to explain the recent 2$\sigma$ excess of leptonic $W^{+}W^{-}$ pair production at LHC. Several models with singly charged exotic states that may explain the…
We investigate the single and pair production of new heavy leptons via string inspired $E_{6}$ model at future linear colliders. Signal and corresponding backgrounds for these leptons are studied. We have found that single production of…
The Run-1 of the LHC was very successful for single top physics. The main single top production mode, $t-$channel, is now well established. The $t-$channel cross-section was measured with unprecedented precision and $t-$channel events have…
