Top quark properties measurements with the ATLAS detector

The top quark, discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab's Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, is the heaviest known elementary particle today. It has a life time shorter than the time for hadronisation, allowing its spin information to be accessed from its decay product...

description The top quark, discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab's Tevatron proton-antiproton collider, is the heaviest known elementary particle today. It has a life time shorter than the time for hadronisation, allowing its spin information to be accessed from its decay products. These features make the top quark a special particle to study. In this presentation, we focused on recent results from the ATLAS experiment in the top sector. In particular, we presented a new result on QCD colour-flow studies in top quark decays, a new measurement of spin correlations in top-antitop quark events, and new limits on the production of events with four top quarks. All results use a data sample of 36 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, recorded with the ATLAS detector at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collision energy.
