Polarization and spin correlations have been studied in detail for top quarks at the LHC, but have been explored very little for the other flavors of quarks. In this paper we consider the processes $pp\to q\bar{q}$ with $q = b$, $c$ or $s$.…
This report contains a brief summary of the latest single top quark production cross-section measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations on pp collisions collected during Run 2 of the LHC. Various results for t-channel,…
The production of top quark pairs is one of the most relevant production modes at the LHC, and allow for precise measurement of the properties of this particle. Top quarks are also produced through rarer mechanisms, including the production…
We study top quark pair production in association with a Z boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and investigate the prospects of measuring the couplings of top quarks to the Z boson. To date these couplings have not been constrained in…
We introduce a new asymmetry in the decay t -> W b -> l nu b, which is shown to be directly proportional to the polarisation of the top quark along a chosen axis, times a sum of W helicity fractions. The latter have already been precisely…
The ATLAS, CMS and LHCb collaborations have reported data for the inclusive production of lepton pairs with invariant mass 80-100 GeV in pp collisions. We find the ATLAS data from at $\sqrt{s}$ =8 TeV shows an unexpected vortex-like…
The production of single top quarks allows to study the interplay of top quark physics and the electroweak sector of the standard model. Deviations from predictions can be a hint for physics beyond the standard model. The t-channel is the…
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…
We discuss the prospects to observe effects of transverse polarization and spin-spin correlations of top quark pairs produced at hadron colliders.
Precision studies of top quark properties provide a unique playground to test the predictions of the standard model and to search for new physics. Reviewed results from the CMS experiment done with the data collected at 8 TeV include…
We utilize top polarization in the process e+ e-\rightarrow t\bar{t} at the ILC with transverse beam polarization to probe interactions of the scalar and tensor type beyond the standard model and to disentangle their individual…
We show that top-quark pairs are produced in an essentially unique spin configuration in polarized $e^+e^-$ colliders at all energies above the threshold region. Since the directions of the electroweak decay products of polarized top-quarks…
The electroweak production of single-top quarks in the $t$ channel can be changed by any deviation from the standard model, it is therefore an excellent opportunity to search for new physics. In this poster the recent cross-section…
QCD corrections to top quark pair production via fusion of both polarized and unpolarized photons are calculated in Supersymmetric Model. The corrections are found to be sizable. The dependence of the corrections on the masses of the…
Top quark polarization provides an important tool for studying its production mechanisms, spin correlations, top quark properties, and new physics searches. Unlike lighter quarks, the top quark's polarization remains intact until its decay,…
We study quantum coherence in top-antitop production at the LHC by comparing Standard Model predictions with CMS data across different kinematic regimes. Theory and experiment are statistically consistent in the near-threshold and boosted…
We review the current status of the cross sections measurement of the top-quark at the LHC and at the Tevatron. Total production cross sections, studies using single top quark events and differential $\rm{t}\bar{\rm t}$ cross sections are…
In this article, recent studies of top quark properties in CMS are presented. The discussed analyses are measurements of the charge asymmetry, CP violation and jet mass, all carried out in final states of $\textrm{t}\bar{\textrm{t}}$…
This is the summary report of the Top Quark Kinematics working group prepared for Snowmass 2013. We survey the current state of theoretical predictions for top pair differential distributions, in both boosted and un-boosted regimes, and…
We study top-antitop pair production and top spin correlations in a model with an electrically neutral massive gauge boson, Z', at the Large Hadron Collider. In addition to the Standard Model processes, the Z' contributes to the top-antitop…
