Experimental Prospects
The 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...

Experimental Prospects
Several 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...

Experimental Prospects
The 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,...

The Quantum Vacuum
We 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...

Experimental Prospects
A 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...

Experimental Prospects
Models 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...
