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:…
Possible existence of extra SM families and/or isosinglet E_6 quarks may sufficiently decrease |V_tb| of CKM matrix so that toponia can be formed. Production of pseudoscalar toponium at the LHC and VLHC has been considered. The…
We explore scenarios where top quarks may be produced singly in association with missing energy, a very distinctive signature, which in analogy with monojets, we dub monotops. We find that monotops can be produced in a variety of modes,…
