The feasibility of observing true tauonium, the bound state of two tau leptons, $\mathcal{T}_0\equiv(\tau^+\tau^-)_0$, via photon-photon collisions at $e^+e^-$ colliders and at the LHC, is studied. The production cross sections of the…
An exploratory study of the exclusive toponium production in $pp$, $pPb$ and $PbPb$ collisions at the center - of - mass energies of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and Future Circular Collider (FCC) is performed. Assuming that the toponium…
The $B$-factories and Large Hadron Collider experiments have demonstrated the ability to observe and measure the properties of bottomonium mesons. In order to discover missing states it is useful to know their properties to develop a…
At the Large Hadron Collider, heavy particles may be produced in pairs close to their kinematic threshold. If these particles have strong enough attractive interactions they may form bound states. Consequently, the bound states may decay…
The formation of toponium, a bound state of top and anti-top quarks, provides an unprecedented system for investigating quantum state dynamics at ultrashort timescales. We explore two distinct phenomenological descriptions of this process:…
We studied the collider phenomenology of third-generation scalar leptoquarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with a 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. The analysis focuses on leptoquarks decaying exclusively into top quarks and tau leptons,…
We discuss ways to discriminate at hadron colliders between a quasi-bound toponium state and a pseudoscalar Higgs boson A, as predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model. We apply the discussion to the excess of t tbar threshold…
We study reported deviations between observations and theoretical predictions associated with the production of a pair of di-leptonically decaying top quarks at the LHC, and we examine the possibility that they reflect a signal of toponium…
In some supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model fairly light superpartner of t-quark is predicted, which may form bound states ({\it stoponiums}) under certain conditions. We study prospects of search for stoponium at the future…
A first search at the LHC for a new heavy resonance decaying to a top quark and a neutral scalar boson $\phi$ in the fully hadronic final state is presented, where the $\phi$ boson is identified by its decay into a bottom quark-antiquark…
We examine toponium formation effects in top-antitop pair production at the LHC, focusing on the near-threshold region where non-relativistic corrections are relevant. We discuss their modelling using non-relativistic QCD Green's functions,…
We investigate the pseudoscalar ($\eta_t$) and vector ($\psi_t$) toponium states, as well as the triply-top baryon ($\Omega_{ttt}$), using the QCD sum-rule method. This study was motivated by the recent observation of a pseudoscalar…
If the lighter top squark has no kinematically allowed two-body decays that conserve flavor, then it will form hadronic bound states. This is required in models that are motivated by the supersymmetric little hierarchy problem and obtain…
Toponium -- a bound state of the top-antitop pair ($t\bar{t}$) -- emerges as the smallest and simplest hadronic system in QCD, with an ultrashort lifetime ($\tau_t \sim 2.5\times 10^{-25}$~s) and a femtometer-scale Bohr radius…
We address the potential of measurements with boosted single-top final states at the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) and possible future hadron colliders: the high-energy LHC (HE-LHC), and the future circular collider (FCC). As new physics…
We investigate the recently reported threshold enhancement in top-antitop production at the LHC in a finite, gauge-covariant, entire-function-regulated nonlocal quantum field theory framework. Our results demonstrate that the observed…

In some supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model fairly light superpartner of t-quark is predicted, which may form bound states - stoponiums. We estimate potentials of TESLA linear collider in search for stoponium, considering the…
Contrary to the general trend of looking for new physics at energies beyond the current reach of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this article proposes a strategy to look for light new physics via a meticulous study of well known and…
Searches for new low-mass matter and mediator particles have actively been pursued at fixed target experiments and at $e^+e^-$ colliders. It is challenging at the CERN LHC, but they have been searched for in Higgs boson decays and in $B$…
