Dr Susana Cabrera Urban (Instituto de Fisica Corpuscular (IFIC) UV-CSIC)12/12/2008, 17:30Experimental ProspectsThe LHC will be a top quark factory, producing large numbers of top quarks even at the initial low luminosities. This will enable a rich program of top quark physics to be explored, both within the Standard Model and using top quarks as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent studies from ATLAS will be presented, including prospects for modes and angular correlations, and the...Go to contribution page

Ms Paola Ferrario (IFIC-Valencia)12/12/2008, 17:50Experimental ProspectsSeveral models predict the existence of heavy colored resonances decaying to top quarks in the TeV energy range that might be discovered at the LHC. In some of those models, moreover, a sizable charge asymmetry of top versus antitop quarks might be generated. The detection of these exotic resonances, however, requires selecting data samples where the top and the antitop quarks are...Go to contribution page

Marius Groll (Institut fur Physik-Johannes-Gutenberg-Universitaet)12/12/2008, 18:10Experimental ProspectsThe study of the associated production of weak vector bosons at LHC allows to search for New Physics through the measurement of possible deviations of the weak boson self-couplings from the expectation within the Standard Model. The sensitivity of the ATLAS experiment to Standard Model diboson (W+W−, W± Z, Z Z, W± gamma, and Z gamma ) production in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 14 TeV,...Go to contribution page

Dr Anne-Fleur Barfuss (IPHC/GRPHE/UHA)12/12/2008, 18:30The Quantum VacuumWe present recent results of searches for leptoquarks with the D0 detector at Tevatron. Leptoquarks are exotic bosons which would mediate lepton-quark interactions as predicted in multiple extensions of the Standard Model, among which supersymmetry. The D0 detector has recorded over 4 fb-1 of proton-antiproton collisions delivered by the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Operating at 1.96...Go to contribution page

Leonardo Benucci (INFN Sezione di Pisa (INFN))12/12/2008, 18:55Experimental ProspectsA possible solution to the hierarchy problem is the presence of extra space dimensions beyond the three ones which are known from our everyday experiences. The phenomenological ADD model of large extra dimensions predicts a $E_{Tmiss}$+jet signature. Randall-Sundrum-type extra dimensions predict di-lepton and di-jet resonances. This presentation will address the experimental issues and...Go to contribution page

Dr Victor Lendermann (University of Heidelberg)12/12/2008, 19:15Experimental ProspectsModels with compactified extra space dimensions offer a new way to address outstanding problems in and beyond the Standard Model. In these models, the strength of gravity is strongly increased at small distances, which opens up the possibility of observing quantum gravity effects in the TeV energy range reachable by the LHC. One of the most spectacular phenomena would be the production of...Go to contribution page
