The leptonic decays of the heavy gauge bosons W and/or Z provide a clear experimental signature at hadron colliders. The production of accompanying jets is an excellent signal to probe QCD, while also being the main background to many…
The most promising source of SUGRA signal at the Tevatron collider is the pair-production of electroweak gauginos, followed by their leptonic decay. In the parameter range corresponding to dominant leptonic decay of these gauginos one or…

The lighter superpartner of the top quark ($\tt_1$) may be considerably lighter than squarks of the first two generations, and hence may be accessible to Tevatron collider searches, even if the other squarks and the gluino are too heavy.…

In the context of topcolor assisted technicolor(TC2) models, we study the production of the top-pions $\pi_{t}^{0,\pm}$ with single top quark via the processes $p\bar{p} \to t\pi_{t}^{0}+X$ and $p\bar{p} \to t\pi_{t}^{\pm}+X$, and discuss…
Top plus jets production at hadron collider allows us to study the couplings of the top quark. In the Standard Model, two single top processes contribute to the top-jets final state. Beyond the Standard Model, additional direct top…

We propose an efficient method to explore models which which produce like-sign tops at the LHC, using the total charge asymmetry of single lepton events instead of like-sign dileptons. As an example, the method is implemented on a Z' Model,…
