Description
In this talk I will discuss top-quark polarisation as a probe to study BSM physics at the colliders. As an example I will discuss how top polarisation can provide discrimination among the different BSM explanations for the forward backward top asymmetry that has been observed at the Tevatron. I will then talk about different probes of top polarisation that can be constructed using decay lepton energy and angle distributions, and the possible effect of new physics in the tbW vertex on them.
