We present a detailed study of the anomalous top quark production with subsequent decay at the LHC induced by model-independent flavor-changing neutral-current couplings, incorporating the complete next-to-leading order QCD effects. Our…
New family dependent fermionic interactions have been conjectured in several extensions of the Standard Model that range from Supersymmetry to composite theory up to flavor interactions. Strong constraints on these theoretical scenarios can…

We study the signal from the pair production of $t$-squarks at the Tevatron under the assumption that their two-body decay to charginos as well as their three-body decay to $W$ bosons is kinematically forbidden. In this case, the stop…

We present results of the search for the super-symmetric partner of the top quark, the stop quark, decaying to a b-quark and chargino with the subsequent chargino decay into a neutralino, lepton and neutrino. Using the data sample…
Single production of top quarks at hadron colliders via $gW$ fusion is examined as a probe of possible anomalous chromomagnetic and/or chromoelectric moment type couplings between the top and gluons. We find that this channel is far less…
Almost two decades after its discovery at Fermilab's Tevatron collider experiments, the top quark is still under the spotlight due to its connections to some of the most interesting puzzles in the Standard Model. The Tevatron has been shut…
We consider the recent measurement of the top quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Fermilab Tevatron, which shows a discrepancy of slightly more than 2$\sigma$ compared to the SM prediction. We find that $t$-channel exchange of a color…
We describe a method for searching for a light stop squark [M(stop)+M(LSP)<M(t)] at the Fermilab Tevatron. Traditional searches rely upon stringent background-reducing cuts which, unfortunately, leave very few signal events given the…
Searches for the electroweak production of single top quarks have been started at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider using Run II data by both the D0 and CDF collaborations. Using a dataset of approximately 160pb^-1, neither…
SUSY events in which a light stop decays to a chargino may manage to pass the cuts designed for top counting experiments at the Tevatron with no significant diminution of signal. Events in which a top decays via stop are detected with fair…
I discuss the production of leptoquarks in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. Evaluated on the basis of a recent next-to-leading order calculation, the combined D0 and CDF leptoquark searches lead to a parameter-free lower mass…
