Description

The LHC at design luminosity will generate 80 million top quark pairs which can be suitably tagged by the experimental collaborations. Because of the close connection between the electroweak symmetry breaking scale and their mass, these top quarks can be used as a probe of new physics at the LHC. In this talk, we review what new physics can be potentially discovered with top quark pairs during the early days of LHC running. We also discuss some new physics scenarios in which the top pairs play a crucial role.
