Particle multiplicities and correlations are an important feature of physics at the LHC. They provide an insight into the environment in which all ATLAS physics measurements are performed. Measurements of charge and neutral particle multiplicities and of two-particle correlations with the ATLAS detector, made as a variety of centre-of-mass energies, are presented. These measurements are used t

Precise measurements of the top quark decay properties at hadron colliders offer interesting new possibilities of testing the standard model. At the same time, recent intriguing experimental results concerning CP violation in the Bd and Bs systems have stimulated many studies of physics beyond the standard model.

Third family (t-b-tau) Yukawa unification is predicted in a class of grand unified models based on SO(10) as well as its subgroup H = SU(4) x SU(2) x S (2).

For instance, in SO(10) the gluino turns out to be the lightest colored sparticle, while the gauge symmetry H can yield a gluino NLSP scenario. A search for NL

2E Parallel- EWK
We report on measurements of W+, W– and Z0 production, using data taken by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV during 2010. The electroweak bosons are reconstructed by selecting decays to muonic final states. The cross-sections are measured within the region 2 < eta < 4.5, using muons of transverse momenta exceeding 20 GeV/c, as well as differentially as a function of lepton pseudorapidity (f

2E Parallel- EWK
We present various measurements with W and Z bosons, based on 36 inverse-picobarns of pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC in 2010. The results, obtained in the electron and muon channels, are compared to predictions at the NLO or NNLO in QCD using recent sets of parton densities. We first report on the inclusive W- and Z-boson production cross sections, measured i

4F Parallel - top
Since a decade, there have been extensive developments about an alternative to super- symmetry: the scenarios with warped extra dimensions. Those constitute a new paradigm in the sense that they are dual, through the AdS/CFT correspondence, to composite Higgs models. These scenarios predict strong deviations from the Standard Model mainly in the bottom and top quark sector. In that sense, the LEP

The long-standing Tevatron anomaly in the top forward-backward asymmetry has been the focus of a recent wave of model building. I will discuss models which account for the asymmetry and the prospects for related measurements at the LHC in both the short- and long-term. Two strategies for measuring related asymmetries at the LHC will be detailed, with large beyond-the-standard-model asymmetries ob

2C Parallel - Heavy Ion
The extended kinematical reach in the collisions of heavy ions at the LHC opens several possibilities: new phenomena might emerge, while "known" observables are cast under a new light. I shall present a few examples of such effects, as well as tentative conclusions that could be drawn from the 2010 Pb+Pb run.

We present precise measurements of the top quark pair production cross section at 7 TeV, performed using CMS data collected in 2010-2011. The total cross section is measured in the lepton+jets, dilepton and fully hadronic channels, including the tau-dilepton and tau+jets modes. The results are combined and confronted with precise theory calculations. We also obtain an indirect constraint on the to

We present measurements of the top quark mass and other properties, obtained from CMS data collected in 2010-2011 at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The mass of the top quark is measured using several methods. We use the lepton+jets, as well as the dilepton and the fully hadronic decay channels. The results are combined. Top pair production cross section measurements are used to place an indirec

We present a measurement of the top-quark pair-production in proton-proton collisions at = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider using the full 2010 data sample. The cross sections are measured in the lepton+jets and dilepton channels both with and without the use of b-tagging

We also present a measurement of the W boson polarisation in top quark decays and set limits on anomalous contributions to the Wtb vertex. All data were collected from proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)=7 T

We present the most recent results on top quark physics using data collected with the ATLAS experiment. Results include the top pair production cross section in several channels, the search for single top production and searches for anomalous top quark production, and various measurements of top-quark properties such as the top quark mass and W polarization from top decay.

We give an overview of the most recent results on top quark properties and interactions, obtained using data collected with the CMS experiment during the year 2010 at 7 TeV center-of-mass energy, and amounting to a total integrated luminosity of 36 pb-1. Results include the top pair production cross section, measured in both the dilepton and lepton+jets channels, the top quark mass, single top pro

A study of the linearized sphericilty in minimum bias proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 0.9 and 7 TeV with the ALlCE detector at the LHC is presented.
The observable was measured in the plane perpendicular to the beam direction and using primary charged tracks in |eta|<=0.8. The average sphericity as a function of multiplicity is reported for events with different hardness ("soft" and hard")

A measurement of the underlying activity in scattering processes with a pT scale in the several GeV region is performed in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The production of charged particles with pseudorapidity eta < 2 and pT > 0.5 GeV/c is studied in the azimuthal region transverse to that of the leading set of charged particles

We present a study of jet production in association with W and Z bosons in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using 36 inverse-picobarns of data collected in the CMS experiment. The production of vector bosons with jets provides a stringent and important test of perturbative QCD calculations, and is an important background in searches for new physics and for studies of the top quark
