Scientific paper

Searches for signatures of new physics in top anti-top events at the LHC require efficient reconstruction of top quarks with a broad range of transverse momenta. Three new reconstruction schemes are developed to deal with the large variety of top decay topologies. Their performance on the lepton + jets final state is evaluated using a detailed simulation of signal and background processes. Compared to previous ATLAS studies, a much improved reconstruction efficiency is found over a large top anti-top invariant mass range. As a consequence, even in the earliest phase of the experiment, ATLAS is expected to significantly extend the mass reach of existing searches.
