We reinterpret two recent LHC searches for events containing four top quarks ($t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$) in the context of supersymmetric models with Dirac gauginos and color-octet scalars (sgluons). We explore whether sgluon contributions to the…
We present an update of the theoretical predictions for the cross section of top-quark pair production at Tevatron and LHC. In particular we employ improvements due to soft gluon resummation at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy.…
It is pointed out that in a wide class of models reminiscent of type-II Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM) the signal of the Higgs produced in association with a top-antitop quark pair ($tth$) and decaying into gauge bosons can be…
We present a measurement of the ratio of t-tbar production cross section via gluon-gluon fusion to the total t-tbar production cross section in p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV at the Tevatron. Using a data sample with an integrated…
This letter presents evidence for the associated production of a W boson and a top quark using 2.05 fb^-1 of pp collision data at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV accumulated with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The analysis is based on the selection of the…
We show that it is necessary to go beyond a single hadron (beyond the quark-antiquark or three-quark systems) in order to distinguish the colour structure of the effective quark-quark interaction and the relevance of 3-body forces. We…
We present a new measurement of the inclusive forward-backward t-tbar production asymmetry and its rapidity and mass dependence. The measurements are performed with 5.3 fb^{-1} of p-pbar collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV, recorded with CDF…
We report a selection of the most recent CDF and D0 results on top quark and W and Z boson properties, based on Tevatron Run 2 data. The large datasets of W and Z bosons allow a very precise measurement of the W mass and detailed studies of…

In the framework of topcolor-assisted technicolor model we calculate the contributions from the pseudo Goldstone bosons and new gauge bosons to $e^+e^- \to t\bar{t}$. We find that, for reasonable ranges of the parameters, the pseudo…
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a top-quark pair, $t\bar{t}H$, is presented. The analysis uses 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, collected with the ATLAS detector at the…
We combine results from CDF and DO on direct searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson (H) in pbar-p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. Compared to the previous Higgs Tevatron combination, more data and new…
The production of the Higgs boson in association with a single top quark is sensitive to the relative sign of the coupling parameters describing its interaction with fermions and gauge bosons. The tHq production mode therefore provides an…

Top quark-antiquark ($t\bar t$) pairs will be produced copiously at the Tevatron collider and in huge numbers at the LHC. This will make possible detailed investigations of the properties and interactions of this quark flavor. The analysis…

It has been proposed that the large cross sections for prompt $\psi$, $\psi'$, and $\chi_c$ production at the Fermilab Tevatron $p\bar p$ collider can be explained by a dominant color-octet term in the fragmentation function for a gluon to…
