We study the sensitivity reach to probe the electroweak dipole operators associated with a top quark at a multi-TeV lepton collider. Studying the electroweak dipole operators is strongly motivated by precision physics. The operators exhibit…
To provide context for discussions of experiments at future muon colliders, I survey what is known and what will be known about the top quark and the Higgs boson from experiments at hadron colliders.
The top quark can be naturally singled out from other fermions in the Standard Model due to its large mass, of the order of the electroweak scale. We follow this reasoning in models of pseudo Nambu Goldstone Boson composite Higgs, which may…
Heavy-ion collisions at very high colliding energies are expected to produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at the highest temperature obtainable in a laboratory setting. Experimental studies of these reactions can provide an unprecedented…
The diquark structure in baryons is commonly accepted as a reasonable approximation which can much simplify the picture and reduce the length of calculations. However, a diquark by no means is a point-like particle, even though it is…
I discuss top quark production in hadronic collisions. I present the soft-gluon resummation formalism and its derivation from factorization and renormalization-group evolution, and two-loop calculations of soft anomalous dimensions in the…
In some models of electro-weak interactions the W and Z bosons are considered composites, made up of spin-one-half subconstituents. In these models a spin zero counterpart of the W and Z boson naturally appears, whose higher mass can be…
The combination of the latest and most precise measurements of several top quark properties is presented in this paper in order to establish allowed regions on anomalous contributions to the Lorentz structure of the $Wtb$ vertex. These…
In the framework of the kt-factorization approach, we study the production of prompt photons and electroweak gauge bosons in high energy proton-(anti)proton collisions at modern colliders. Our consideration is based on the amplitude for the…
We present a model of partial compositeness arising as the IR limit of a SU(4) gauge theory with only fermionic matter. This group is one of the most promising ones among a handful of possible choices allowing a symmetry breaking pattern…
We describe various studies relevant for top physics at future circular collider projects currently under discussion. We show how highly-massive top-antitop systems produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV…
We consider the effects in the production via gluon fusion in LHC collisions of one or two spin-zero new resonant particles $\Phi$ that decay into a top quark pair. We revisit previous analyses of the interferences between the heavy-fermion…
The unified compositeness of leptons, quarks and Higgs bosons is proposed as a possible scenario for New Physics beyond the Standard Model. The following topics of the scenario are briefly discussed: - Chiral gauge exceptional symmetry E_6…
The top flavour-changing neutral couplings can be large in extended models with vector-like quarks. In the next decade(s) the CERN Large Hadron Collider will allow to measure (bound) them with a precision of few per cent.
We study the spin properties of top quarks produced in collisions of polarized photons in the threshold region. For a relatively heavy top quark the influence of non-perturbative effects is small and its polarization parameters can be…
We discuss associated production of a Higgs boson with a pair of $t {\bar t}$ quarks at a future high energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The process $e^+e^-\to t {\bar t}h$ is particularly sensitive to the presence of new physics and we consider the…
Measurements of the top quark by the ATLAS and CMS experiments go beyond testing the Standard Model (SM) with high precision. Axion-like particles (ALPs), a potential SM extension involving new pseudoscalar particles, exhibit strong…
The azimutal correlations of heavy quarks produced in the high energy $pp$ ($p\bar{p}$) collisions are calculated in the framework of QCD without the usual assumptions of the parton model. The virtual nature of the interacting gluons as…
The forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$ in top quark pair production, measured at the Tevatron, is probably related to the contribution of new particles. The Tevatron result is more than a $2\sigma$ deviation from the standard model…
It is possible to express all the strong and electromagnetic interactions of ground state hadrons in terms of a single coupling constant and the constituent quark masses, using spin-flavour relativistic supermultiplet theory. Results are…
