Interactions of heavy quarks, in particular of top quarks, with electroweak gauge bosons are expected to be very sensitive to new physics effects related to electroweak symmetry breaking. These interactions are described by the so-called…
The top-quark mass mt is one of the fundamental parameters of the standard model (SM) of particle physics. The CDF and D0 collaborations already performed very precise measurements of mt . Since the ATLAS and CMS collaborations already have…
In this review I sketch the basic criteria and boundary conditions which have guided the design of the LHC detectors. The discussion will concentrate on the so-called general-purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS. After an overview of the…
The session on precision studies of electroweak interactions is summarized. The contributions address the bilinear, trilinear, quartic as well as heavy-quark interactions of the electroweak gauge bosons. This makes up a picture of the…
We discuss the potential for making precision measurements of $M_W$ and $M_T$ at a muon collider and the motivations for each measurement. A comparison is made with the precision measurements expected at other facilities. The measurement of…
The techniques used to study top quarks at hadron colliders are presented. The analyses that discovered the top quark are described, with emphasis on the techniques used to tag b-quark jets in candidate events. The most recent measurements…
The activities of the Electroweak Physics Working Group are summarized. Three main issues are addressed: 1) prospects for measuring the $W$ mass at the Tevatron using the inclusive electron energy spectrum, 2) constraining the strange quark…
This review summarizes the program in the physics of the top quark being pursued at Fermilab's Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. More than a decade after the discovery of the top quark at the two…
An overview of recent results on top quark properties and interactions is given, obtained using data collected with the CMS and ATLAS experiments during the years 2011 and 2012 at 7 TeV and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energies. Measurements of top…
We consider the physics of an extra $U(1)$ gauge boson $Z'$, which can mix with $Z$ through intermediate fermion loops. The loop contribution due to the heavy top quark significantly affects the low-energy observables, and for $m_{Z'}>m_Z$,…
Recent measurements of processes involving the electroweak bosons, Z and W, performed at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider are summarized. The large integrated luminosities collected by both the D0 and CDF Collaborations enable precise…
Measurements carried out or reinterpreted within the framework of effective field theory (EFT) will constitute a key component of the LHC legacy in the quest towards physics beyond the standard model. Numerous EFT measurements were already…
The top quark will be extensively studied at future muon colliders. The threshold cross section can be measured precisely, and the small beam energy spread is especially effective at making the measurement useful. We report on all the…
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…
In 2016, the Large Hadron Collider provided proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center-of-mass energy and achieved very high luminosity and reliability. The performance of the CMS Experiment in this running period and a selection of recent…
This article presents a brief overview of the CMS experiment capabilities to study the hot and dense matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The CERN Large Hadron Collider will provide collisions of Pb nuclei at 5.5 TeV per…
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle observed to date. Its large mass makes the top quark an ideal laboratory to test predictions of perturbation theory concerning heavy quark production at hadron colliders. The top quark is…
Future hadron colliders will have the potential to measure some of the most relevant Higgs boson couplings with high precision. In this paper we investigate the potential of a Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC) to measure the top-quark…
For the envisioned high precision measurement of the W boson mass at the Tevatron and LHC it is crucial that the theoretical predictions for the W and Z production processes are under control. We briefly summarize the status of the…
Experimental results on top-quark physics obtained at the CMS experiment are reported based on the data recorded at centre-of-mass energy up to 13 TeV. Inclusive and differential cross sections for both top-quark pair and single top-quark…
