The potential of LHC for investigation of the $W$-$t$-$b$ vertex through the $tW$ channel of single top quark production is studied. Unlike the other two single top quark production processes ($t-$channel and $s-$channel), the $tW$ channel…
The associated production of a single-top with opposite-sign same-flavor (OSSF) di-leptons, $pp \to t \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $ pp \to t \ell^+ \ell^- + j$ ($j=$light jet), can lead to striking tri-lepton $pp \to \ell^\prime \ell^+ \ell^- + X$…
We study the LHC signal of a light gluino whose cascade decay is dominated by channels involving top, and, sometimes, bottom quarks. This is a generic signature for a number of supersymmetry breaking scenarios considered recently, where the…
In this paper we study new-physics contributions to the top-quark decay $t \to b \bar b c$. We search for ways of detecting such new physics via measurements at the LHC. As top quarks are mainly produced at the LHC in $t \bar t$ production…
If new leptons exist close to the electroweak scale, they can be produced in pairs at LHC through standard or new interactions. We study the production of heavy lepton pairs in SM extensions with: (i) a Majorana or Dirac lepton triplet, as…
We investigate the potential of the HL-LHC for discovering new physics effects via the same-sign top pair signatures. We focus on the semi leptonic (electron and muon) decay of the top quarks and study the reach for a simplified model…
Four top quark production is a rare standard model process that has been observed for the first time in proton-proton collisions at \sqrts at the CERN LHC by both the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations. Both observations were made in the…
We present a new method to measure a theoretically well-defined mass of the top quark at the LHC. This method uses lepton energy distribution and has a boost-invariant nature. We perform a simulation analysis of the top mass reconstruction…
Leptophilic interactions can only be observed at the LHC in four-lepton final states. If these interactions are mediated by a resonance in the di-leptonic channel with renormalizable couplings, the mediator must have spin 1. We study the…
The results of searches for new physics in events with two same-sign isolated leptons, hadronic jets, and missing transverse energy in the final state are presented. The searches use an integrated luminosity of 35 inverse picobarns of pp…
The energy spectrum of the lepton(s) in e^+e^- --> tt-bar --> l^{+-} ...../l^+l^-..... at next linear colliders (NLC) is studied for arbitrary longitudinal beam polarizations as a possible test of new physics in top-quark couplings. The…
Direct searches for electroweak pair production of new particles at the LHC are a difficult proposition, due to the large background and low signal cross sections. We demonstrate how these searches can be improved by a combination of new…
In this work, we apply topic modeling to detect new physics in proton-proton collisions at the LHC in an unsupervised way. We investigate three new physics scenarios where fully leptonic $t\bar{t}\to…
A search for events containing four top quarks (ttbar-ttbar) is reported from proton-proton collisions recorded by the CMS experiment at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.6 inverse femtobarns. The analysis…
We study the determination of the top-quark mass using leptonic observables in t-channel single top-quark production at the LHC. We demonstrate sensitivity of transverse momentum of the charged lepton on the input top-quark mass. We present…
We describe a method for interpreting trilepton searches at high energy colliders in a model-independent fashion and apply it to the recent searches at the Tevatron. The key step is to recognize that the trilepton signature is comprised of…
In recent years many models of supersymmetry have implied a large production rate for events including a high multiplicity of third generation quarks, such as four top quarks. It is arguably the best-motivated channel for early LHC…
This study investigates the production of multi-top quark events final states containing up to four top quarks as a probe for new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) within the framework of the Two Higgs Doublet Model (2HDM) Type-I.…
A leptophobic $Z^\prime$ that does not couple with the Standard Model leptons can evade the stringent bounds from the dilepton-resonance searches. In our earlier paper [T. Arun et al., Search for the $Z'$ boson decaying to a right-handed…
A search for four-top-quark production, $t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$, is presented. It is based on proton-proton collision data with a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during the…
