As the most massive particle in the Standard Model, the top quark's exceptionally short lifetime preserves its spin polarization information through direct decay, making it an ideal system for probing quantum correlations in high-energy…

Top quark decays are of particular interest as a mean to test the standard model (SM) predictions, both for dominant (t -> b + W) and rare decays (t -> q + W, cV, cVV, c phi^{0}, bWZ). As the latter are highly suppressed, they become an…
A search for pair production of the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, the top squark, in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV is presented in final states containing at least one hadronically decaying tau lepton and large…
The mass of the top quark is a fundamental parameter of the standard model and has to be determined experimentally. In these proceedings, I review recent measurements of the top quark mass in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt s=7,~8,$ and 13 TeV…
An overview of recent top quark measurements using the full Run II data set of CDF or D0 at the Tevatron is presented. Results are complementary to the ones at the LHC. Recent measurements of the production cross section of top quarks in…
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle observed to date. Its large mass of about 173 GeV/c^2 makes the top quark act differently than other elementary fermions, as it decays before it hadronises, passing its spin information on…
Top spin correlation has been shown to be nontrivial in hadronic top-pair production, and can be realized by the asymmetries of the decay products of the top quark and antiquark. We show in this work that the top spin correlation is a…

Measuring the total cross sections of top-quark pair production and single top processes at high precision tests the predictions of the Standard Model and can bring better understanding of properties such as the top-quark mass, electroweak…

We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. We combine published RunI (1992-1996) measurements with the most recent RunII (2001-present) measurements using up to 2/fb of data. Taking correlated…
Top decays into a light Higgs boson and an up or charm quark can reach detectable levels in Standard Model extensions with two Higgs doublets or with new exotic quarks, and in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Using both a standard…
