This review is focused on the search for new processes, performed with top quark events in D{\O}. It presents four updated or new D{\O} results. The two first analyses deal with top production properties: they search for a new heavy…
The top quark is the most recently discovered of the standard model quarks, and because of its very large mass, studies of the top quark and its interactions are important both as tests of the standard model and as searches for new physical…

Within the model-independent framework of $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ gauge-invariant dimension-six operators, we study flavor-changing $Wtq$ couplings ($q=d,s$) and related four-quark contact interactions involving the top. We obtain…
Ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions recreate in the laboratory the thermodynamical conditions prevailing in the early universe up to 10$^{-6}$ seconds, thereby allowing the study of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of quantum…

In theories of Partial Compositeness the top quark is a mixture of a composite and an elementary state, and as a consequence its interactions with gauge bosons are expected to deviate from those of a point-like object. At sufficiently large…
