We investigate the effect that a charged Higgs decay channel for the top quark has on the signature for top quark pair production at the Tevatron. The branching ratios for the various multijet and multilepton final states arising from top…
A search is presented for a heavy spin-1 resonance Z' decaying to a top quark and a vector-like top quark partner T in the lepton+jets final state. The search is performed using a data set of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13…
An analysis of the production of a Higgs boson (H) in association with a top quark-antiquark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$H) or a single top quark (tH) is presented. The Higgs boson decay into a bottom quark-antiquark pair (H $\to$…
Lattice QCD calculations with background magnetic fields are used to determine the magnetic moments of the octet baryons. Computations are performed at the physical value of the strange quark mass, and two values of the light quark mass,…
We present yet another composite model explaining the relatively broad peak in the diphoton invariant mass distribution around 750 GeV recently observed at the LHC experiments. We consider the excess originates in bound states of…
Charged Higgs bosons produced either in top-quark decays or in association with a top-quark, subsequently decaying via $H^{\pm} \to \tau^{\pm}\nu_{\tau}$, are searched for in 140 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at…
We present a measurement of the top quark mass using 19.7 $\pm$ 0.5 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV CMS data. In particular, we study dileptonic $t\bar{t}$ decays, in which a top-antitop pair decays to a final state containing two electrons…
A search is performed for pair-produced spin-3/2 excited top quarks (t* t*-bar), each decaying to a top quark and a gluon. The search uses data collected with the CMS detector from pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8…
If $c$ and $t$ quarks are strongly mixed with a weak singlet charge $2/3$ quark, $BR(t\to \ell\nu + X)$ could be suppressed via the $t\to cH^0$ mode, thereby the top quark could still hide below $M_W$, whereas the heavy quark signal…
We reinterpret two recent LHC searches for events containing four top quarks ($t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$) in the context of supersymmetric models with Dirac gauginos and color-octet scalars (sgluons). We explore whether sgluon contributions to the…
A doubly heavy baryon can be regarded as composed of a heavy diquark and a light quark. In this picture, we study the masses of the doubly heavy diquarkes in the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) formalism first, which are then used as one of the inputs…
Many new physics models predict resonances with masses in the TeV range which decay into a pair of top quarks. With its large cross section, t\bar t production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) offers an excellent opportunity to search for…
A search is performed for the production of a massive W' boson decaying to a top and a bottom quark. The data analysed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in…
Recently, some singly bottom baryons have been established experimentally, but none of doubly or triply bottom baryons has been observed. Under the Regge phenomenology, the mass of a ground state unobserved doubly or triply bottom baryon is…
We calculate the dominant three body Higgs decays, $H \to W^+W^-(Z^0, \gamma)$ and $H \to t\overline{t}(Z^0,\gamma ,g)$, in the Standard Model. We find that the branching ratios of these decays are of the order of few percent for large…
We present the results of an exploratory Lattice QCD calculation of three-baryon systems through a high-statistics study of one ensemble of anisotropic clover gauge-field configurations with a pion mass of m_\pi ~ 390 MeV. Because of the…
A search is made for a vector-like $T$ quark decaying into a Higgs boson and a top quark in 13 TeV proton-proton collisions using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity…
We analyze weak decays of triply heavy baryon $\Omega_{ccc}^{++}$ and calculate the form factors for $\Omega_{ccc}^{++}\to \Xi_{cc}^{++}/\Omega_{cc}^+$ transitions in a light front quark model. The momentum distributions in form factors are…
We present a comprehensive theoretical study of the masses of possible baryonic and mesonic configurations containing a single top quark. Our analysis includes the baryons $\Lambda_t$, $\Xi_t$, $\Sigma_t$, $\Xi'_t$, $\Omega_t$,…
We show that it is necessary to go beyond a single hadron (beyond the quark-antiquark or three-quark systems) in order to distinguish the colour structure of the effective quark-quark interaction and the relevance of 3-body forces. We…
