Sumario:At the LHC, heavy objects such as top quarks or gauge bosons are abundantly produced with a transverse momentum that is much larger than their mass. The decay topology of these highly boosted objects is different from the case when the production occurs close to the rest energy. New analysis tools were developed to reconstruct the boosted objects which is used in searches for high mass particles decaying to boosted pairs of gauge bosons or boosted top anti-top pairs.
