We provide a systematic effective lagrangian description of the phenomenology of the lightest top-partners in composite Higgs models. Our construction is based on symmetry, on selection rules and on plausible dynamical assumptions. The structure of the resulting simplified models depends on the quantum numbers of the lightest top partner and of the operators involved in the generation of the top Yukawa. In all cases the phenomenology is conveniently described by a small number of parameters, and the results of experimental searches are readily interpreted as a test of naturalness. We recast presently available experimental bounds on heavy fermions into bounds on top partners: LHC has already stepped well inside the natural region of parameter space.

  1. Search for single production of a vector-like T quark decaying to a top quark and a neutral scalar boson in the lepton+jets final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    No evidence of a single vector-like T quark decaying to a top quark plus a neutral scalar is found; new 95% CL exclusion limits are set, first for the new-scalar channel.

  2. Vector-like quarks with non-renormalizable interactions

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Dropping renormalizability in effective theories of vector-like quarks opens five new multiplet types whose widths can be so suppressed that the quarks become long-lived R-hadrons at the LHC.

  3. Search for pair production of heavy resonances in final states with a photon and large-radius jets in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-02 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using 138 fb^-1 of CMS data, the first tt-gamma-g channel search finds no excess and excludes spin-1/2 (spin-3/2) excited top quarks below 930 (1330) GeV.

  4. Complete two-loop Yukawa-induced running of the Higgs-gluon coupling in SMEFT

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For the first time, the two-loop Yukawa-induced renormalisation-group running of the Higgs-gluon coupling from D^2H^4 and D H^2 ψ^2 SMEFT operators is computed.

  5. Exotic decays of top partners: mind the search gap

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A top-partner search gap exists: for T -> t a with a -> gg, current LHC bounds drop from about 1.3 TeV to roughly 400-550 GeV.

  6. Multi-scale improved predictions for $\boldsymbol{pp \to t\bar{t}W^+ +X}$

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    MiNLO yields NLO predictions for full off-shell pp o ttW+(j/jj) that agree with fixed-order results while reducing scale dependence for multi-jet samples, and merging improves the inclusive ttW+ description.

  7. Search for single production of a vector-like B' quark decaying to a top quark and a W boson in the single-lepton final state in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    CMS excludes narrow-width singlet vector-like B' quarks with masses 0.8-1.23 TeV in the tW channel using neural-network tagging and data-driven background modeling.

  8. Probing Heavy Neutral Higgs Bosons via Single Vector-Like Bottom Quark Production at the HL-LHC

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    XGBoost multivariate analysis extends the 5-sigma discovery reach for singly produced vector-like bottom quarks decaying via heavy neutral Higgs bosons to 1.6 TeV at the HL-LHC with 3 ab^{-1}.
