"On the way to future circular colliders: new physics opportunities with top quarks" - Benjamin Fuks

With the end of the first run of the LHC and the beginning of the next run, it is timely to start considering the next phase of the high-energy collider program including both the LHC and future projects under discussion. In this context, I will describe various studies relevant for top physics. More specifically, I will show how highly-massive top-antitop systems could be observed and employed for constraining new physics, investigate the reach of future proton-proton and electron-positron machines to top flavor-changing neutral interactions and discuss top parton densities. In a second step, I will focus on some new physics motivations for building a future polarized proton-proton facility.
