Description

High mass resonance decaying into ttbar pairs appear in many extensions of the Standard Model. The top quarks from these decays have high transverse momentum and their decay products are typically bunched together due to the boost into the lab frame. As a result the standard techniques for reconstructing ttbar events begin to fail. In this talk we will discuss the prospects for detecting booted top quarks at CMS.
