Using the top quark for testing standard-model polarization and CP predictions

TLDR
How to test the standard-model QCD predictions for the transverse polarization of a top quark produced at the Fermilab Tevatron, Superconducting Super Collider, CERN Large Hadron Collider, and the Next Linear Collider is shown.
Abstract
Once top quarks are found, because they are heavy they will allow many new tests of the standard model (SM) and new probes of physics at the 100-GeV scale. In this paper we show how to test the standard-model QCD predictions for the transverse polarization of a top quark produced at the Fermilab Tevatron, Superconducting Super Collider, CERN Large Hadron Collider, and the Next Linear Collider. We also examine the most general form of the {ital W}-{ital t}-{ital b} vertex, and show how to detect effects of non-SM operators. Ways of detecting non-SM {ital CP}-violation effects in either the production or the decay of the top quarks and top antiquarks are examined.

The Standard Model as an Effective Field Theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the challenges that have been overcome in developing EFT methods for LHC studies, and discuss the developing SMEFT and HEFT approaches that are consistent versions of such EFTs, systematically improvable with higher order corrections, and comment on the pseudo-observable approach.

Identifying top partners at LHC

TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically study the possible signals at LHC of new vector-like quarks mainly coupled to the third generation, and show that with the combination of different channels the new quarks can be identified and their charged and neutral decays established.

The Bulk RS KK-gluon at the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the properties of the lightest Kaluza-Klein excitation of the gluon in a Randall-Sundrum scenario where the Standard Model matter and gauge fields propagate in the bulk.

Top quark pair production and decay at hadron colliders

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present analytic results for the differential cross sections of top quark pair productio n in hadronic collisions at next-to-leading order in the QCD coupling, keeping the full dependence on the spins of the top quarks.
