We study production of t {\bar t} via W^+ W^- fusion, including the relevant backgrounds at the proposed Linear Collider (an e^+ e^- collider with \sqrt{S} = 1.5 TeV) in the context of a Higssless Standard Model (SM), i.e. a nonlinear…
We investigate the possibility that an imaginary anomalous $tbW$ coupling can be measured in the process $e^-p \to \nu_e \overline t X$ by means of T-odd observables. One such observable considered here is the polarization of the top…
