In this paper, we examine the interactions of the top quarks with the $Z$ boson using the top quark pair production associated with neutrino pair ($t\bar{t}\nu_{l}\bar{\nu_{l}}$) at the LHC. In particular, potential constraints on the…
I give an overview of recent results on top quark properties and interactions, obtained using data collected with the CMS experiment during the years 2010--2011 at sqrt(s)= 7 TeV. Measurements are presented for the inclusive top pair…
The top quark, discovered in 1995 at the Fermilab Tevatron collider from CDF and D0 experiments, remains by far the most interesting particle to test standard model because of its large mass and unique properties. Having data collected…
The study of the top quark's properties is an important part of the LHC programme. In earlier work, we have studied the rare decay $t \to b \bar b c$, using effective operators to capture the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model.…
In the companion paper it was shown that there are six observables in $gg\to t \bar t \to (b \bar b c) (\bar b \ell \bar \nu)$ that can be used to reveal the presence of new physics (NP) in $t \to b \bar b c$. In the present paper we…
The top quark, discovered at the Tevatron in 1995, is a very interesting particle. Precise measurement of the top properties using large data samples will allow stringent tests of the Standard Model and offer a unique window on new physics.…
Top quarks are a prime system for hunting for new physics. Nonetheless, two decades on from their discovery few of their couplings have been measured to high precision. We present an overview of current determinations and the expected…
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…
A search is presented for the pair production of new heavy resonances, each decaying into a top quark (t) or antiquark and a gluon (g). The analysis uses data recorded with the CMS detector from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass…
The experiments at the LHC are searching for many different final states that can hint to the presence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. One of the most interesting and promising sectors for these searches is that of the top quark,…
Till today, although the Standard Model (SM) is the most celebrated theory that explains nature almost completely, there are still some phenomena observed in nature that the SM cannot explain. That is why it is needed to look for theories…
Top quark production in the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t}$ at a future linear electron positron collider with polarized beams is a powerful tool to determine the scale of new physics. Studies at the $\ttbar$ threshold will allow for…
With a high instantaneous luminosity and the large top quark pair production cross section, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be a "top factory" allowing the analysis of millions of top events. After a short description of the top quark…
The polarisation of top quarks produced in high energy processes can be a very sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. The kinematical distributions of the decay products of the top quark can provide clean information on the…
A measurement of the top quark mass is reported in events containing a single top quark produced via the electroweak t channel. The analysis is performed using data from proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at…
A first search at the LHC for a new heavy resonance decaying to a top quark and a neutral scalar boson $\phi$ in the fully hadronic final state is presented, where the $\phi$ boson is identified by its decay into a bottom quark-antiquark…
Stringent tests on top quark production and decay mechanisms are provided by the measurement of the top quark and W boson polarization. This paper presents a detailed study of these two measurements with the ATLAS detector, in the…
The new CERN proton-proton collider, the LHC, is about to start in 2007 its data taking. Millions of top quarks will be available out of these data, allowing to perform a wide range of precision measurements and searches for new physics. An…
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…
A search for flavour-changing neutral current decays of a top quark into an up-type quark ($q=u, c$) and the Standard Model Higgs boson, $t\rightarrow Hq$, is presented. The search is based on a dataset of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$…
