In high energy proton-nucleus collisions, the gluon saturation effects from the nucleus are fully incorporated into the light-like Wilson lines. The gluon saturation effects from the proton, which are anticipated to be important either in…
The top quark pairs produced at a polarized muon collider are in a (nearly) pure spin configuration. This result holds for all center-of-mass energies, and is insensitive to the next-to-leading order QCD radiative corrections. The decay…

We calculate final-state interaction corrections to the energy-angular distribution of l^+ in semi-leptonic top quark decay, where the parent top quark is produced via e^+e^- -> t\bar{t} near threshold. These are the corrections due to…
We review the physics involved in the production and decay of top quarks in e^+e^- -> ttbar near threshold, with special emphasis on the recent theoretical study on the decay process of top quarks in the threshold region. The energy-angular…
We establish the model-independent spin structure of the matrix elements for the near-threshold scalar meson production in $pp-$ and $np$-collisions, when the final particles are emitted in S-state. Polarization phenomena are derived in a…

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…
We study bound-state effects on the t\bar{t} production cross section in the threshold region at hadron colliders. The bound-state effects are important particularly at the LHC where the gluon fusion is the dominant subprocess. Due to the…
Many types of new physics can lead to contact interaction-like modifications in $e^+e^-$ processes below direct production threshold. We examine the possibility of uniquely identifying the effects of graviton exchange from amongst this…
We investigate soft gluon radiation in hadronic $t\bar t$ production. By taking the top quark decay properly into account, we are able to study the interplay of radiation both before and after the decay of the top quarks. The…
We study the impact of radiation on quantum systems defined by the spins of elementary fermion-antifermion pairs produced at colliders. We present predictions for several processes, showing that energetic final-state radiation can induce…
