We study top-antitop pair production and top spin correlations in a model with an electrically neutral massive gauge boson, Z, at the Large Hadron Collider. In addition to the Standard Model processes, the Z contributes to the top-antitop pair production process in the s-channel. Choosing a kinematical region of top invariant mass around the Z resonance pole, we find sizable deviations of the top-antitop pair production cross section and the top spin correlations from those of the Standard Model.

Spin correlations of top quarks produced in hadron collisions have not been observed experimentally with large significance. In this Letter, we propose a new variable that may enable demonstration of the existence of spin correlations with 3-4 sigma significance using just a few hundred dilepton events both at the Tevatron and the LHC. Such number of dilepton events has been observed at the Tevatron. At the LHC, it will become available once integrated luminosity of a few hundred inverse picobarns is collected.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is expected to provide proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV, yielding millions of of top quark events. The top-physics potential of the two general purpose experiments, ATLAS and CMS, is discus sed according to state-of-the-art simulation of both physics and detectors. An overview is given of the most important results with emphasis on the expected improvements in our understanding of physics connected to the top quark.
High-energy photon-proton interactions at the LHC offer interesting possibilities for the study of the electroweak sector up to TeV scale and searches for processes beyond the Standard Model. An analysis of the W associated single top photoproduction has been performed using the adapted MadGraph/MadEvent and CalcHEP programs interfaced to the Pythia generator and a fast detector simulation program. Event selection and suppression of main backgrounds have been studied. A comparable sensitivity to |V_{tb}| to those obtained using the standard single top production in pp collisions has been achieved already for 10 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity. Photoproduction at the LHC provides also an attractive framework for observation of the anomalous production of single top due to Flavour-Changing Neutral Currents. The sensitivity to anomalous coupling parameters, k_{tugamma} and k_{tcgamma} is presented and indicates that stronger limits can be placed on anomalous couplings after 1 fb^{-1}.

Predictions for angular distributions of top quark decay products that are sensitive to t tbar spin correlations are presented at next-to-leading order in alpha_s for the Tevatron and the LHC.

We study the charged Higgs production at LHC via its associated production with top quark. The kinematic cuts are optimized to suppress the background processes so that the reconstruction of the charged Higgs and top quark is possible. The angular di stributions with respect to top quark spin are explored to study the $Htb$ interaction at LHC.
