Top quark properties at the ATLAS experiment

Properties of the top quark are measured with the ATLAS detector using LHC proton- proton collisions data. Measurements of the top-quark mass and charge, as well as of the polarization of W bosons in top quark decays to probe the Wtb-vertex are presented. In addition, measurements of the spin correl...

Sumario:Properties of the top quark are measured with the ATLAS detector using LHC proton- proton collisions data. Measurements of the top-quark mass and charge, as well as of the polarization of W bosons in top quark decays to probe the Wtb-vertex are presented. In addition, measurements of the spin correlation between top and >>>>> anti-top quarks as well as of the top- quark charge asymmetry, which constitute important tests of QCD and are sensitive to new physics, are discussed. The search for flavour changing neutral current processes in top quark decays is reviewed
