In this article, I review scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model in which the top quark plays a special role. Models that aim at the stabilization of the weak scale are presented together with the specific phenomenology of partner states that are characteristic of this type of model. Further, I present models of flavor in which the top quark is singled out as a special flavor in the Standard Model. The flavor and collider phenomenology of these models is broadly presented. Finally, I discuss the possibility that dark matter interacts preferably with the top quark flavor and give an overview of the dark matter phenomenology of these scenarios, as well as collider and flavor signals.

超越标准模型的物理学与顶夸克相关


在本文中，我回顾了标准模型之外的物理场景，其中顶夸克起着特殊作用。旨在稳定弱尺度的模型与作为此类模型特征的伙伴国家的特定现象学一起提出。此外，我还提出了风味模型，其中顶夸克在标准模型中被挑选出来作为特殊风味。这些模型的风味和碰撞器现象学被广泛介绍。最后，我讨论了暗物质最好与顶夸克味道相互作用的可能性，并概述了这些情况的暗物质现象学，以及对撞机和味道信号。
