We use the recent measurements of top quark decay asymmetries in ATLAS and the t-channel single top cross section in CMS to set the first combined LHC limits on the Wtb vertex. This combination allows to obtain much better limits than the…
The D0 Collaboration presents first evidence for the production of single top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron ppbar collider. Using a 0.9 fb^-1 dataset, we apply a multivariate analysis to separate signal from background and measure…
I consider the measurement of the top-quark mass, the CKM matrix element V_{tb}, and the top-quark Yukawa coupling to the Higgs boson at the Tevatron, the LHC, and a Linear Collider. The theoretical motivations for these measurements, as…
The observation of single top quark production by the CDF and D0 collaborations is one of the flagship measurements of the Run II of the Tevatron. The Tevatron combined single top quark cross section is measured to be:…

If there is new physics associated with the top quark, it could show up as anomalous couplings of the top quark to weak gauge bosons, such as $Z\ttbar$ and $W\tbbar$ vector and axial-vector couplings. We use the processes $\ttbar\to…

We know there is new physics at the electroweak scale, but we don't know what it is. Right now, the top quark is our only window on to this physics. In almost all models of electroweak symmetry breaking, top either couples strongly to new…

Top quarks can be produced from the electroweak Wtb coupling, leading to a single top or antitop in the final state. We examine single top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron and calculate the cross section as a function of top quark…
Single top-quark production, via weak-interaction processes, is an important test of the standard model, potentially sensitive to new physics. However, this measurement is much more challenging at the Tevatron than originally expected. We…
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…
If a new massive vector boson with nonzero axial couplings to fermions will be observed at LHC, then an upper limit on the scale of new physics could be derived from unitarity of $\mathcal{S}$-matrix. The new physics will involve either new…
