Almost two decades after its discovery at Fermilab's Tevatron collider experiments, the top quark is still under the spotlight due to its connections to some of the most interesting puzzles in the Standard Model. The Tevatron has been shut down two years ago, yet some interesting results are coming out of the CDF and D0 collaborations. The LHC collider at CERN produced two orders of magnitude more top quarks than Tevatron's, thus giving birth to a new era for top quark physics. While the LHC is also down at the time of this writing, many top quark physics results are being extracted out of the 7 TeV and 8 TeV proton proton collisions by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations, and many more are expected to appear before the LHC will be turned on again sometime in 2015. These proceedings cover a selection of recent results produced by the Tevatron and LHC experiments.

We present the implementation in the MadAnalysis 5 framework of the CMS-HIG-18-011 search for exotic decays of the Standard Model Higgs boson, in which the Higgs boson is assumed to decay into a pair of light pseudoscalar [Formula: see text], that then further decay into a di-muon and di-[Formula: see text]-jet final state. This analysis considers proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and data collected by the CMS experiment in 2016, with an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb[Formula: see text]. We present a selection of recast predictions, obtained with MadAnalysis 5 and Delphes 3, that include a few differential distributions, yields, and efficiencies. We show that they agree at a level of a few percent with public CMS results.

Measurements of cross sections and couplings of the Higgs boson using the ATLAS detector at CERN’s LHC are presented. Data from proton proton collisions at [Formula: see text], 8 and 13 TeV are discussed. A range of production and decay couplings can be tested with a precision that depends on the generality of the assumptions made. Data at 7 and 8 TeV are also combined with CMS results to enhance the precision. The results are all consistent with predictions of the Standard Model.

Abstract Events containing one or more top quarks produced with additional prompt leptons are used to search for new physics within the framework of an effective field theory (EFT). The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 41.5 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC, collected by the CMS experiment in 2017. The selected events are required to have either two leptons with the same charge or more than two leptons; jets, including identified bottom quark jets, are also required, and the selected events are divided into categories based on the multiplicities of these objects. Sixteen dimension-six operators that can affect processes involving top quarks produced with additional charged leptons are considered in this analysis. Constructed to target EFT effects directly, the analysis applies a novel approach in which the observed yields are parameterized in terms of the Wilson coefficients (WCs) of the EFT operators. A simultaneous fit of the 16 WCs to the data is performed and two standard deviation confidence intervals for the WCs are extracted; the standard model expectations for the WC values are within these intervals for all of the WCs probed.

We present the implementation in MadAnalysis 5 of the CMS-TOP-18-003 search for the production of four top quarks in the Standard Model and detail the validation of this implementation. This CMS analysis studies Standard Model four-top production through the same-sign and multi-lepton plus jets channels, using a luminosity of 137 fb[Formula: see text] of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. We validate our implementation work by studying various distributions and event counts describing the properties of the signal in the context of the Standard Model: jet and [Formula: see text]-jet multiplicities, the hadronic activity [Formula: see text], and the number of expected events populating the various analysis signal regions. We then provide a small example of usage of this implementation to constrain a toy new physics model.
