This thesis project involves the investigation of top quark properties and potential effects of new physics in high-energy particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It includes a comprehensive study of top quark production, decay modes, and branching ratios, utilizing data analysis techniques to reconstruct top quark events in different channels. The work also focuses on the evaluation of trigger efficiency, event reconstruction, and signal-background separation, aiming to provide insights into the Standard Model and potential resonances in the top quark sector.

Stage LPC:22 Mai-5 Aout 2009 • Familiarization with the ATLAS software environment : Athena, ROOT. • beginning of an analysis: - ttbar full hadronic channel (tt → Wb Wb → qqb qqb) - production of events • reconstruction of events with 0b-tag: study of jets combinations methods : Meth1: select the two W light jets : Min χ2 = Σ (Mjj-Mw) 2 / б2 to associate the to good top : choice Mt1-Mt2 minimum Meth2: Meth1 + remove all jets combinations with Pb <Pj1 <PJ2 in CMtopResults: choosing the right combination for W1 and W2 = 27% Choosing the right combination for t1 and t2 = 41%
