Because of the top quark's very large mass, about 175~GeV, it now provides the best window into flavor physics. Thus, pair--production of top quarks at the Tevatron Collider is the best probe of this physics until the Large Hadron Collider…
We review recent measurements of the properties of the top quark by the CDF and D0 experiments: the mass and decay width of the top quark, the ratio $R=\btwb/\btwq$, the total production cross section of \ttbar\ pairs, the helicity of the…
We consider Z' and W' models recently proposed to explain the top forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron. We present the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to associated production of such vector bosons together with top quarks at…
The production rate for top quarks at the Fermilab Tevatron is presented using the exact order $\alpha_s^3$ corrected cross section and the resummation of the leading soft gluon corrections in all orders of perturbation theory.
The CDF and D0 experiments have reported on the measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the result is that it is more than 2 standard deviations above the predicted value in the…
Recently published benchmark models have contained rather heavy superpartners. To test the robustness of this result, several benchmark models have been constructed based on theoretically well-motivated approaches, particularly string-based…
We study the constraints on models of topcolor-assisted technicolor arising from measurements of high-$E_T$ jets and high-mass lepton pairs at the Tevatron collider. Existing data can eliminate models that have appeared in the literature.
This talk describes efforts towards a first measurement of the standard model production of four top quarks with results based on up to the full LHC Run 2 dataset collected at CMS at $\sqrt{s}=13\mathrm{TeV}$. It includes interpretations of…
In this work, the $\eta^\prime$ meson photoproduction near threshold is studied in the quark model framework. A pseudovector effective Lagrangian is introduced for the $\eta^\prime NN$ coupling and the newly published data from the SAPHIR…
The weak decay of a polarized top quark has a rich structure of angular correlations among its decay products. We describe some of the noteworthy features of such decays. We then examine the three modes of single top production, with an…
We explore the usefulness of very energetic linear $e^+e^-$ colliders in the $TeV$ range in studying an alternative scheme of electroweak symmetry breaking based on a strong interacting sector. The calculations are performed within the BESS…
We emphasize the role that the associated production of a Higgs boson with a pair of top-antitop quarks can play at present and future hadron colliders. Results of recent calculations of the NLO total cross section for the associated…
If dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking is due to a flavor doublet of color sextet quarks, enhanced electroweak scale QCD instanton interactions may produce a large top mass, raise the $\eta_6$ axion mass, and also explain the excesses…
The latest ATLAS results for processes with a top quark pair and an associated vector boson are presented here. The measurement of the production cross sections for these processes is important for the direct determination of the top quark…
This thesis can be divided into several parts. The first one consists in a detailed historical review of quarkonium physics, centered on the different production models successively introduced. Then comes a review of the currently available…

A study on effective anomalous interactions up to dimension 5 of the top quark with the electroweak gauge bosons is made in the non-linear Chiral Lagrangian approach. Bounds on the anomalous dimension four terms are obtained from their…

At hadron colliders, top quarks are dominantly produced in pairs ($t\bar{t}$), a production mechanism that was discovered more than twenty years ago at the Tevatron in Fermilab. Although the \ttbar process has already entered the domain of…
The forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) in top-pair production that was observed in 2008 gets a boost in a recent CDF publication. Not only has the FBA further been confirmed, but also distributional preferences are shown. Strikingly, the FBA…
