Top Quark Pairs at High Invariant Mass - A Model-Independent Discriminator of New Physics at the LHC

Vernon Barger, Tao Han, Devin G. E. Walker

We study top quark pair production to probe new physics at the LHC. We propose reconstruction methods for $t\bar{t}$ semileptonic events and use them to reconstruct the $t\bar{t}$…
