We introduce a new asymmetry in the decay t -> W b -> l nu b, which is shown to be directly proportional to the polarisation of the top quark along a chosen axis, times a sum of W helicity fractions. The latter have already been precisely…
We present recent measurements on top quark physics obtained at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar p$ collider by the CDF and D0 collaborations. We discuss the measurements of the top quark mass using direct and indirect methods of extraction,…
We investigate the prospects to observe effects of transverse polarization of top quarks in $pp,p\bar{p}\to t\bar{t}X$. QCD absorptive parts generate a polarization of top quarks and antiquarks transverse to the production plane in the…
We investigate the effects of new physics scenarios containing a high mass vector resonance on top pair production at the LHC, using the polarization of the produced top. In particular we use kinematic distributions of the secondary lepton…
We present an overview of Top Quark Physics - from what has been learned so far at the Tevatron, to the searches that lie ahead at present and future colliders. We summarize the richness of the measurements and discuss their possible impact…

We present a study of top quark polarization in $t \overline{t}$ events produced in $p \overline{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. Data correspond to 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the D0 detector at the Tevatron. We use final states…
In this short review, we describe some of the results on diffraction from the Tevatron and give some prospects for the LHC. In particular, we discuss the search for exclusive events at the Tevatron and their importance for the LHC program/…

The polarization of a top-quark can be sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model. We propose a novel method to measure top-quark polarization, based on the charged lepton energy fraction in top-quark decay, and illustrate the…

If the forward-backward (FB) asymmetry of top quark ($A_{\rm FB}$) observed at the Tevatron deviates from the SM prediction, there must be $P$-violating interactions in $q\bar{q} \rightarrow t\bar{t}$. This new interaction will necessarily…
Measuring the top quark mass in its semileptonic decay mode, $t ->be^+\nu$ ($b -> \mu^- + X$), through the mass distribution of the $e^+$--$\mu^-$ pair has been shown to provide a good measurement of the top quark mass with an uncertainty…
Over a decade since the discovery of the top quark we are still trying to unravel mysteries of the heaviest observed particle and learn more about its nature. The continuously accumulating statistics of CDF and Dzero data provide the means…
With the full Tevatron Run II and early LHC data samples, the opportunity for furthering our understanding of the properties of the top quark has never been more promising. Although the current knowledge of the top quark comes largely from…
Top quarks are produced at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab and at the Large Hadron (proton-proton) Collider at CERN in two ways: as quark-antiquark pairs, and singly. For each mode, the cross sections and future…

A review of the recent results on measurements of top quark properties in single top quark events using data samples of proton proton collisions produced by the LHC at sqrt(s) = 7 and 8 TeV and collected by ATLAS and CMS detectors is…
