Please give a brief summary of your poster
The top quark is unique in the Standard Model by virtue of its
large mass, possible role in electroweak symmetry breaking, and rapid
decay without forming bound states. Precise measurements of its
properties offer both sensitive tests of the Standard Model and
possible pathways to discovering new physics, and are an important
and challenging part of the ATLAS physics program. The prospects for
precise measurements of the top quark mass, top quark decay
properties such as polarisation, spin correlations and anomalous
couplings, and rare top decays signalling beyond-Standard Model
physics, will be described.
