The top quark mass is currently measured to delta m_t^{exp,Tevatron} = 2.9 GeV and will be measured at the LHC to a precision of delta m_t^{exp,LHC} \approx 1-2 GeV. We show that even this impressive precision will not be sufficient for…

This article presents a measurement of the top quark mass using the CDF II detector at Fermilab. Colliding beams of protons and anti-protons at Fermilab's Tevatron (sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV) produce top/anti-top pairs, which decay to W^+W^-bbbar;…

At the LHC, a TeV-scale leptoquark (LQ) that decays dominantly to a top quark ($t$) and a light charged lepton ($\ell=e,\mu$) would form a resonance system of \emph{boosted-$t$ $+$ high-$p_{\rm T}$-$\ell$}. We consider all possible vector…
