These proceedings highlight a selection of recent results by the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations. The majority of the featured analyses make use of the large set of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV proton-proton collision data collected during the…
Top quark pair production in association with a $Z$-boson or a photon at the LHC directly probes neutral top-quark couplings. We present predictions for these two processes in the Standard Model (SM) Effective Field Theory (EFT) at…
We study quantum coherence in top-antitop production at the LHC by comparing Standard Model predictions with CMS data across different kinematic regimes. Theory and experiment are statistically consistent in the near-threshold and boosted…
An overview of recent results on top quark properties and interactions is given, obtained using data collected with the CMS and ATLAS experiments during the years 2011 and 2012 at 7 TeV and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energies. Measurements of top…
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…
We study top quark pair production in association with a Z boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and investigate the prospects of measuring the couplings of top quarks to the Z boson. To date these couplings have not been constrained in…
The precise measurement of the top quark properties is a stringent test of the Standard Model of Particles and Fields. This reports presents the latest results from the CDF and D0 collaborations with an integrated data sample of up to…
I review the prospects for measuring the properties of the top quark at the Tevatron, with an integrated luminosity of 2 fb$^{-1}$ or more, and at LHC in the early running at instantaneous luminosities of $10^{32}-10^{33}~cm^{-2}~s^{-1}$.
We describe the latest results obtained by the CMS Collaboration on top quark spin and polarization properties. The top quark spin asymmetry is measured both targeting single-top quark production in the $t$-channel and single-top quark…
Effective field theory (EFT) approaches are widely used at the LHC, such that it is important to study their validity, and ease of matching to specific new physics models. In this paper, we consider an extension of the SM in which a top…
We present results for the total top-pair production cross section at the Tevatron and the LHC. Our predictions supplement fixed-order results with resummation of soft logarithms and Coulomb singularities to next-to-next-to-leading (NNLL)…
An extension of the xFitter open-source program for QCD analyses is presented, allowing for a polynomial parameterization of the dependence of physical observables on theoretical parameters. This extension enables simultaneous determination…

We parameterize the non-universal couplings of t-t-Z and t-b-W in the electroweak chiral lagrangian approach, and examine the constraints on these parameters from the LEP data. We also study how the SLC, Tevatron, LHC and NLC can improve…
Among different measured observables of top-antitop quark pairs at hadron colliders, the forward-backward asymmetry ($A_{\text{FB}}$) measured by the CDF and D0 collaborations has inconsistency with the Standard Model prediction. The…
We propose techniques to observe the correlation of the spins of top quarks and antiquarks at the Tevatron and the LHC. Observation of the spin correlation would confirm that the top quark decays before its spin flips, and would place a…
The Run I experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider discovered the top quark and provided first measurements of many of its properties. Run II (and eventually the LHC and NLC experiments) promise to extend our knowledge of the top quark…
We analyze the collider signatures of models with a vector-like top-prime quark and a massive color-octet boson. The top-prime quark mixes with the top quark in the Standard Model, leading to richer final states than ones that are…
The mass of the top quark (\mtop) is a fundamental parameter of the standard model (SM). Currently, its most precise measurements are performed by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar p$ collider at a centre-of-mass…
In this paper we study the effect of new physics contributions to the top quark pair production ($t\bar{t}$) in a possible future linear collider, such as the International Linear Collider (ILC). The use of a dimension-six gauge invariant…
