New physics and top

Following recent intriguing experimental results on top quark pair production from the Tevatron I reviewed the present status of new physics explanations put forward to explain the experimental observations deviating from standard model predictions.

Top quarks at the LHC

I reviewed the present status of new physics explanations put forward to explain the experimental observations in top quark pair production at the Tevatron deviating from standard model predictions. Possible future measurements at the LHC able to discern among the various proposals are discussed.

Searching for new physics with top quark decays

I consider the effects of new physics on top quark decays at next-to-leading order in QCD. I also investigate constraints on anomalous t couplings coming from precision flavor observables and show that these to be mostly superior to present direct constraints coming from top decay and single top production measurements at the LHC and Tevatron.
