Résumé
Abstract

Cet article donne un aperçu des mesures et des recherches au LHC dans le secteur du quark top. La grande quantité de données enregistrées par les expériences ATLAS et CMS à une énergie dans le centre de masse de 13 TeV, permet d’étudier avec une précision sans précédent les propriétés et les couplages du quark top lors de sa production et de sa désintégration. Les comparaisons avec les prédictions du modèle standard permettent de tester l’éventuelle présence d’une nouvelle physique.

An overview of the measurements and searches in the top quark sector at the LHC is presented. Due to the large amount of data recorded by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, top quark properties and couplings in production and decay can be studied with an unprecedented precision and compared to predictions of the standard model to shed light on the possible presence of new physics.
