We present the first direct experimental bound on the total decay width of the top quark using 955pb^-1 of the Tevatron's ppbar collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We identify 253 top-antitop pair candidate events. The…

Present limits on the top mass from LEP1 and Tevatron point to a top quark that is considerably heavier than the $W$ vector boson in the standard model. Hence, e+e- colliders with \sqrt{s} \simeq 300 GeV (the c.m. energy foreseen at the…

In this paper, we calculate the top quark rare decay t-ch in a supersymmetric extension of the standard model where baryon and lepton numbers are local gauge symmetries. Adopting reasonable assumptions on the parameter space, we find that…

A brief summary of the calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to the process pp -> e+ ve mu- v_mu bb~ j + X is reported. This provides a complete description of the process of t-tbar + jet production with leptonic decays beyond the…

Neutral-current four-fermion production, e+e- -> ffff is studied in 0.7/fb of data collected with the L3 detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies root(s)=183-209GeV. Four final states are considered: qqvv, qqll, llll and llvv, where l…

I discuss the calculation of cross sections for processes with six and eight fermions in the final state, contributing to single-top production and associated top-Higgs production at a linear collider. I describe the schemes for the…

Considering the present limits on the masses of fourth family quarks from the Tevatron experiments, the fourth family quarks are expected to have mass larger than the top quark. Due to their expected large mass they could have different…

The flavor changing neutral current tcV (V=\gamma,Z) couplings in the production vertex for the process $e^+e^-\to t\bar c$ or $\bar t c$ in the standard model are investigated. The precise calculations keeping all quark masses non-zero are…

In this proceedings we briefly report on the state-of-the-art NLO QCD computation for the $pp\to t\bar{t}\gamma$ process in the di-lepton channel. We describe higher-order corrections to the $e^+\nu_e \, \mu^- \bar{\nu}_\mu \,…

Reconstructable final state kinematics and charge assignment in the reaction ppbar->ttbar allows tests of discrete strong interaction symmetries at high energy. We define frame dependent forward-backward asymmetries for the outgoing top…

At the HL-LHC and future high energy colliders, a sample of a billion top quarks will be produced, allowing precision searches for new physics in top quark decay and production. To aid in this endeavor, we characterize the independent three…

A study of the semi-analytical approach to four-fermion production in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation is presented. We classify all possible four-fermion final states and present results of new calculations for the `basic' processes with the…

The status of precision calculations for the processes e+e- --> WW --> 4 fermions is reviewed, paying particular attention to questions of gauge invariance and recent progress concerning photonic radiative corrections.

I present the latest results from the CDF and D0 collaborations on top quark production (single top and top quark pair production) at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at sqrt(s) =1.96 TeV, measurements of the top quark decay…

Top-quark physics plays an important role at hadron colliders such as the Tevatron at Fermilab or the LHC at CERN. Given the planned precision at these colliders, precise theoretical predictions are required. In this paper we present the…

We discuss top quark production and its subsequent decay at lepton colliders including both QCD corrections and anomalous gamma / Z - t t-bar couplings. The off-diagonal spin basis for the top and anti-top quarks is shown to be useful to…

We study the one-loop radiative corrections to pair production of the supersymmetric scalar partners of the standard fermions in e+e- annihilation. Both electroweak and SUSY-QCD corrections are considered. Applications are for production of…

We present a measurement of the total decay width of the top quark using events with top-antitop-quark pair candidates reconstructed in the final state with one charged lepton and four or more hadronic jets. We use the full Tevatron Run II…

A review is presented of the current experimental status of the top quark sector of the standard model. The measurements summarized include searches for electroweak single top production, the latest results on the ttbar production cross…

We determine the NNLO electroweak correction to the $e^+ e^-\to b\bar{b}W^+W^- X$ production cross section near the top-pair production threshold. The calculation includes non-resonant production of the final state as well as electroweak…
