Description
The top quark's uniquely large Yukawa coupling hints at a special connection between the top quark and the physics responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking. If new physics at the LHC is related to the electroweak hierarchy, it will typically lead to observable polarization signals for top quarks produced in association with new physics. Signals are observable for both events with and without missing energy and for hadronic as well as leptonic top quarks.
