Top-Quarks: Heavyweights in New Physics Searches — •Susanne Westhoff — Department of Physics and Astronomy (PITT PACC), University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh PA 15260, USA

In the search for new physics at colliders, top-quark observables are a well-motivated choice. Top-quarks are by far the heaviest known particles, with a strong coupling to the Higgs boson. They have a critical impact on the stability of our universe and of the electroweak scale. These aspects predestine top-quarks as possible guides to physics beyond the standard model. I portray up-to-date new-physics searches in top-quark observables at the LHC and venture an outlook to top-quarks at a future 100-TeV hadron collider.
