Searches for top-antitop resonances in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The LHC and the ATLAS detector offer an unprecedented opportunity to test theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Some of these theories predict heavy particles that would decay predominantly into a top and an antitop quark. This thesis presents a technique to experimentally measure...
