We show how the $W$ boson polarization in the process of associated $W^{\pm}H$ production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can be used to constrain anomalous $WWH$ couplings. We first calculate the spin density matrix for the $W$ to…
We examine the production of Wh and Zh pairs at the LHC in the context of a Strongly Interacting Symmetry Breaking Sector of the Standard Model. Our description is based on a non-linear Higgs Effective Theory, including only the Standard…
I present approximate N$^3$LO theoretical results for top-antitop pair production, and for single-top production in association with a $W$ boson. The higher-order corrections are from soft-gluon radiation, which is dominant near partonic…
We investigate the possibility that an imaginary anomalous $tbW$ coupling can be measured in the process $pp \to tW^-X$ by means of T-odd observables. One such observable is the polarization of the top quark transverse to the production…
We provide a framework for the analysis of the W boson helicity in the decay of the top quark that is based on a general effective tbW coupling. Four independent coupling coefficients can be uniquely determined by the fractions of…
Triple gauge boson associated production at the LHC serves as an interesting channel to test the robustness of the Standard Model. Any deviation from its SM prediction may indicate possible existence of relevant new physics, e.g., anomalous…

The study of the top quark's properties is an important part of the LHC programme. In earlier work, we have studied the rare decay $t \to b \bar b c$, using effective operators to capture the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model.…
The conjoined production at the LHC of single top and Higgs boson via $t$-channel weak boson exchange is ideal to probe the top-quark Yukawa coupling, due to a delicate cancellation between the amplitudes with the $htt$ and the $hWW$…
Single top quark is mainly produced through the $t$-channel W boson exchange $q + b \rightarrow q' + t$ at LHC. This process probes Wtb vertex directly and can be used to measure the CKM matrix element $V_{tb}$ or to constrain the bottom…
We propose a method to determine the trilinear Higgs self coupling that is alternative to the direct measurement of Higgs pair production total cross sections and differential distributions. The method relies on the effects that electroweak…
