An overview of top physics and phenomenology at a high-energy linear collider is presented. A comprehensive study of top quark physics is possible at such a facility. The unique threshold production of top pairs would provide measurements…
The measurement of quantum entanglement can provide a new and most sensitive probe to physics beyond the Standard Model. We use the concurrence of the top-quark pair spin states produced at colliders to constrain the magnetic dipole term in…
This paper is an experimental review of the study of processes with a single top quark at the LHC. The pioneering times are over, and this is now a sector of "precision physics" at colliders. Angular distributions of the decay products of…
We calculate final-state interaction corrections to the energy-angular distribution of l^+ in semi-leptonic top quark decay, where the parent top quark is produced via e^+e^- -> t\bar{t} near threshold. These are the corrections due to…
Between the Tevatron and LHC, top-quark physics is now becoming an area for precision physics. This has lead to an increase in theoretical activity to match the experimental accuracy of top anti-top production. We discuss the difficulty in…
Recent results on production and decays of polarized top quarks are reviewed. Top quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is considered near energy threshold. For longitudinally polarized electrons the produced top quarks and…
Entanglement is a central subject in quantum mechanics. Due to its genuine relativistic behavior and fundamental nature, high-energy colliders are attractive systems for the experimental study of fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. We…
The rate and corresponding gluon jet energy distribution for the process $e^+e^- \to t\bar tg$ are sensitive to the presence of anomalous dipole-like couplings of the top to the photon and $Z$ at the production vertex as well as to the…
For top-quarks produced via the subprocess $q\bar q\to t\bar t$, the longitudinal t-quark polarization ($P_{\parallel}$) vanishes in QCD. $P_{\parallel}$ can be measured by the angular distribution of the lepton in $t$-quark semileptonic…
The study of top-quark properties will be a central aspect of the physics programme of any future lepton collider. In this article, we investigate the production of top-quark pairs in the semi-leptonic decay channel in $\rm e^+e^-$…
New interactions in top-quark production and decay are studied under the conditions of the Tevatron upgrade. Studying the process q qbar --> t tbar --> b mu nu tbar, it is shown how the lepton rapidity and transverse energy distribution are…
The physics perspectives of the production and decay of single top quarks and top quark pairs at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are reviewed from a phenomenological point of view.
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.…
Decoupling theorems have proven useful in various applications in the area of quantum information theory. This thesis builds upon preceding work by Fr\'{e}d\'{e}ric Dupuis [arXiv:1012.6044v1], where a general decoupling theorem is obtained…
We study the discovery potential of string resonances decaying to $t\bar{t}$ final state at the LHC. We point out that top quark pair production is a promising and an advantageous channel for studying such resonances, due to their low…
Theoretical results are presented for top quarks produced in annihilation of polarized electrons on positrons. Polarization studies for $t\bar t$ pairs near threshold are free from hadronization ambiguities. This is due to the short…
Top spin correlation has been shown to be nontrivial in hadronic top-pair production, and can be realized by the asymmetries of the decay products of the top quark and antiquark. We show in this work that the top spin correlation is a…
We calculate a comprehensive set of spin correlations and differential distributions in top-quark pair production and decay to dilepton final states. This is the first time such a complete study is performed at next-to-next-to leading order…
Top physics provides a fertile ground for new-physics searches. At present, most top observables appear to be in good agreement with the respective Standard Model predictions. However, in the case of decay modes that are suppressed in the…
Polarization studies for heavy quarks can lead to important tests of the Standard Model. Top quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is considered near energy threshold. It is shown that for longitudinally polarized electrons the…
