SUMMARY:LHC Detector Commissioning and Searches with the Top Quark
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Salvatore Rappoccio\, Johns Hopkins University\n\nPar
	t of the HEE Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract: The top quark plays an important 
	role at the LHC. Being a well-studied particle at Tevatron experiments\, it
	 serves as a useful benchmark to demonstrate the ability of the CMS detecto
	r to reconstruct complicated final-states that rely on coordinating the inf
	ormation from the entire CMS detector. Furthermore\, new physics models tha
	t attempt to explain the electroweak symmetry breaking problem and the disc
	repancy between the electroweak and Planck scales often involve particles t
	hat decay to top quarks. Thus\, understanding the top quarks produced from 
	QCD and electroweak production leads directly to the ability to perform sea
	rches for a large number of models for new physics at the LHC.
