Abstract
In many models of physics beyond the Standard Model the coupling of new states to third generation quarks is enhanced. A review is presented of searches by the CMS collaboration for heavy particles decaying to final states involving top quarks. This includes searches for heavy gauge bosons and excited states. Several final states originating from the top quark decays are considered and the event reconstruction is optimised accordingly. The analyses presented use data collected with the CMS experiment during the year 2012 at the LHC, in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV.
