Description
The top quark plays a central role in many New Physics (NP) models, and in understanding the details of EWSB. In the short and mid-term future, top quark studies will be mainly driven by the LHC experiments. Exploration of top quarks will, however, be an integral part of particle physics studies at any future facility. An e+e− collider will have a rich top-quark physics program mainly in two domains: top property (very) accurate determination at the top pair production threshold, search for NP with top quarks above the threshold. Here we discuss such possibilities using a composite Higgs scenario to test the expected deviations in the top pair production for different c.o.m. energy options.
