Cover Story: Since the initial measurements of single-top quark production at the Tevatron in 2009, tremendous progress has been made at the LHC. While LHC Run 1 marked the beginning of a precision era, LHC Run 2 witnessed the emergence and the in-depth exploration of new processes associating top quark production with a neutral boson, with a particular emphasis on the tZ production. In this paper, we review the measurements of the main production mechanisms, the associated production with a neutral boson, and precision measurements such as differential cross-sections and other top quark properties. The effective field theory framework is emerging as a standard for interpreting property measurements. Different perspectives for LHC Run 3 and the HL-LHC are discussed. View this paper

21 October 2023

In teleparallel geometries, the coframe and corresponding spin connection are the principal geometric objects and, consequently, the appropriate definition of a symmetry is that of an affine symmetry. The set of invariant coframes and their correspon...
