## TL;DR

This paper proposes that six top quark signatures at the LHC can serve as a sensitive probe for new physics, particularly top partners in a composite Higgs model, with potential discovery up to 2.5 TeV.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis strategy for detecting six top signatures as indicators of new physics at the LHC, focusing on boosted top tagging and related kinematic variables.

## Key findings

- LHC with 3 ab$^{-1}$ can discover top partners up to 2.5 TeV
- Six top signatures may show early discrepancies indicating new physics
- Analysis based on $H_T$ and boosted object tagging is effective

## Abstract

Six top signatures provide a novel probe of new physics. We discuss production of six top quarks as the decay products of a pair of top partners in the setting of a composite Higgs model, and argue that the six top signal may generically provide one of the first final states to show a discrepancy. We construct an analysis based on quantities such as $H_T$ and the numbers of jets which are tagged as boosted tops, $W$s, or containing $b$-tags, and show that the LHC with 3~ab$^{-1}$ can discover top partners with masses up to around 2.5 TeV in the six top signature.
