We show how single top production at the LHC can be used to discover (and characterize the couplings of) B' quarks, which are an essential part of many natural models of new physics beyond the Standard Model. We present the B' effective…

The uncertainty of $t\bar{t}$ production cross section measurement at LHC is at a-few-percent level which still allows the stop pair production $\tilde{t}\tilde{t}^{*}$ with identical final states $2b+\ell+nj+{E}_{T}$. In this paper, we…

This paper is an experimental review of the study of processes with a single top quark at the LHC. The pioneering times are over, and this is now a sector of "precision physics" at colliders. Angular distributions of the decay products of…
Precision measurements of top-associated Higgs production are an important ingredient to unravel the $\mathcal{CP}$ nature of the Higgs boson. In this work, we constraint the $\mathcal{CP}$ nature of the top-Yukawa coupling taking into…

Single-top-quark production probes the charged-current weak interaction of the top quark, and provides a direct measurement of the CKM matrix element V_{tb}. We perform two independent analyses to quantify the accuracy with which the…
Electroweak production of single top quarks is an as-yet-unverified prediction of the Standard model, potentially sensitive to new physics. Two of the single top quark productions channels have significant charge asymmetries at the LHC,…
