Searches for New Physics in the Top Sector at the Tevatron
- Manchester U.
The top quark, discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, is the heaviest known elementary particle today. Due to its high mass and short lifetime, the top quark plays a special role in searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this article, recent results of searches for new physics in the top sector, performed by CDF and D0, are presented. In particular, we discuss the search for ttbar resonances, for tj resonances, the search for heavy fourth generation quarks, for dark matter produced in association with single tops, the study of anomalous couplings, the search for boosted top quarks as well as the analysis of Lorentz Invariance violation in the top quark sector.
