Abstract: | Deviations of the top electroweak couplings from their Standard Model values imply that certain scattering amplitudes of third generation fermions and longitudinally polarized vector bosons and/or Higgses grow with energy. In this talk I will demonstrate how to use the high energies accessible at the LHC to enhance the sensitivity to non-standard top-Z couplings, which are currently very weakly constrained. I demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach by performing a detailed analysis of tW -> tW scattering, which can be probed at the LHC via pp -> ttWj. I will also present other scattering processes in the same class that could provide further tests of the top sector.
