We perform a systematic analysis of scalar and vector leptoquark pair production at the Fermilab Tevatron and at the CERN LHC. We evaluate signal expectations and background levels for the processes pp (p ppar) -> 2 jets + e^{+} + e^{-} and…
In an R-parity nonconserving supersymmetric theory, the lighter stop can dominantly decay into $b\mu$ and $b\tau$ if R-parity breaking has to explain the neutrino mass and mixing pattern suggested by the data on atmospheric muon neutrinos.…
A search is presented for the production of new heavy quarks that decay to a $Z$ boson and a third-generation Standard Model quark. In the case of a new charge +2/3 quark ($T$), the decay targeted is $T \rightarrow Zt$, while the decay…
Scalar particles that couple to two up quarks may be produced at the LHC even if they are ultraheavy, in the $8-10$ TeV mass range. A renormalizable theory that includes a diquark particle of this type ($S_{uu}$), two vectorlike quarks…
The results of a search for a supersymmetric partner of the top quark (top squark), pair-produced in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, are presented. The search, which focuses on R-parity violating, chargino-mediated decays of…
A search for the pair production of heavy vector-like partners T and B of the top and bottom quarks has been performed by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV. The data sample was…
A search for direct pair production of the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, decaying via a scalar tau to a nearly massless gravitino, has been performed using 20 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV. The…
We present a study of $W+$multijet events that compares the kinematics of the observed events with expectations from direct QCD $W+$jet production and from production and decay of top quark pairs. The data were collected in the 1992-93 run…
A search is performed for a vector-like heavy T quark that is produced in pairs and that decays to a top quark and a Higgs boson. The data analysed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns collected with the CMS…
A search for massive coloured resonances which are pair-produced and decay into two jets is presented. The analysis uses 36.7 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. No…
Stop squarks with a mass just above the top's and which decay to a nearly massless LSP are difficult to probe because of the large SM di-top background. Here we discuss search strategies which could be used to set more stringent bounds in…
We report on a search for charged massive resonances decaying to top ($t$) and bottom ($b$) quarks in the full data set of proton-antiproton collisions at center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV collected by the CDF~II detector at…
We report on a search for the supersymmetric partner of the top quark (scalar top) decaying into a charm quark and a neutralino in p-pbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. The data sample, collected by the CDFII detector at the Fermilab…
A search is performed for top-quark pairs ($t\bar{t}$) produced together with a photon ($\gamma$) with transverse energy greater than 20 GeV using a sample of $t\bar{t}$ candidate events in final states with jets, missing transverse…
A search for single production of a vector-like T quark with charge 2$e$/3, decaying to a top quark and a neutral scalar boson is presented. The boson can be a standard model Higgs boson (H) or a new scalar boson ($\phi$). In the first…
We report two measurements of the top quark mass M_top using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in a 318 pb^-1 data sample observed in the lepton + jets final state. One method uses an event-based likelihood technique resulting in…
We studied the collider phenomenology of third-generation scalar leptoquarks at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with a 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. The analysis focuses on leptoquarks decaying exclusively into top quarks and tau leptons,…
A search for pair production of second-generation leptoquarks is performed using proton-proton collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV in 2016 with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9…
A general search for the pair production of resonances, each decaying to two quarks, is reported. The search is conducted separately for heavier resonances (masses above 400 GeV), where each of the four final-state quarks generates a…
