Search for rare top quark decays and resonances for new physics models

We present a review of rare top quark decay and non-susy based searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model in final states containing top quarks or bottom quarks. This includes searches for heavy gauge bosons, excited quarks, sequential and vector-like top quark partners. The searches span a range of final states and many results use novel analysis techniques to reconstruct the highly boosted final states that are created in these topologies. The searches are performed on data collected with the CMS and ATLAS experiments in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV.
