Boosting Beyond: A Novel Approach to Probing Top-Philic Resonances at the LHC
Résumé
We introduce a novel search strategy for heavy top-philic resonances that induce new contributions to four-top production at the LHC. We capitalize on recent advances in top-tagging performance to demonstrate that the final state, that is expected to be boosted based on current limits, can be fully reconstructed and exploited. Notably, our approach promises bounds on new physics cross-sections that are 30 to 60 times stronger than those obtained through traditional searches, showcasing its unprecedented effectiveness in probing top-philic new physics.
