Single-top-squark production via q q' -> \bar{\tilde{t_1}} probes R-parity-violating extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model though the \lambda''_{3ij} couplings. For masses in the range 180-325 GeV, and \lambda''_{3ij} >…
The top quark decays before it hadronizes. Before its spin state can be changed in a process of strong interaction, it is directly transferred to the top quark decay products. The top quark spin can be deduced by studying angular…
Top pair production is ideally suited to observe post-decay entanglement, thus providing a novel test of quantum mechanics. We provide top polarised decay amplitudes that can be used to compute semi-analytical predictions and, in…
Top-antitop pairs produced at hadron colliders are largely unpolarized, but their spins are highly correlated. The structure of these correlations varies significantly over top production phase space, allowing very detailed tests of the…
In this work, we study the one-loop--induced decay channel $H^{\pm} \rightarrow W^{\pm}\gamma$ in the general $\mathcal{R}_{\xi}$ gauge within Two Higgs Doublet Models. We analytically verify the gauge invariance ($\xi$-independence),…
This paper complements the study of single top production at the LHC aiming to estimate the sensitivity of different observables to the magnitude of the effective couplings. In a previous paper the dominant $W$-gluon fusion mechanism was…
A search for pair production of third-generation scalar leptoquarks decaying to top quark and tau lepton pairs is presented using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at…
We investigate the collider phenomenology of a color-singlet vector resonance, which couples to the heaviest quarks, the top quarks, but very weakly to the rest of the fermions in the Standard Model. We find that the dominant production of…
We review simplified models in which a singlet Majorana dark matter candidate couples to Standard Model (SM) fermions through interactions mediated by scalar fermion partners. We summarize the two primary production mechanisms in these…
Top quarks produced in pairs are predicted to experience spin correlations. Due to the large ttbar statistics expected for the LHC, it should be possible to search for new physics effects in angular variables sensitive to these…
We present a study of single top and single antitop quark production in the t-channel mode at the LHC pp collider at 7 TeV, 10 TeV and 14 TeV, including next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production and decay of the top quark. We…
The littlest Higgs model with discrete symmetry named "T-parity"(LHT) is an interesting new physics model which does not suffer strong constraints from electroweak precision data. One of the important features of the LHT model is the…
We present a search for a new particle $T'$ decaying to top quark via $T^{\prime} \rightarrow t + X$, where $X$ is an invisible particle. In a data sample with 4.8 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at…
In this work we investigate the observability of Inert Doublet Model scalars at the LHC operating at the center of mass energy of 14 TeV. The signal production process is $pp \to AH^\pm \to ZHW^{\pm}H$ leading to two different final states…
We present a Monte Carlo generator that implements significant theoretical improvements in the simulation of top-quark pair production and decay at the LHC. Spin correlations and off-shell effects in top-decay chains are described in terms…
Using 85.2 +/- 3.6 pb^-1 of p-pbar collisions collected at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV with the D0 detector at Fermilab's Tevatron Collider, we present the results of a search for direct pair production of scalar top quarks ~t, the supersymmetric…
The results of a search for top squark (stop) pair production in final states with one isolated lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum are reported. The analysis is performed with proton--proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV…
Vector-like quarks (VLQs) that are partners of the heavy top and bottom quarks are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We explore the possibility that these states could explain not only the longstanding anomaly in the…
We study the sensitivities of non-standard top and Higgs couplings in the $pp\to thj$ process at the 14 TeV high-luminosity run of Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). We calculate top polarization and construct various lab-frame observables to…
At a 14 TeV proton-proton collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we show that top quark pair production is dominated at low invariant mass by the fusion of two like-helicity gluons, producing top quark pairs in the left-left or…
