I will present the phenomenology of same sign top pair production at the LHC using a complete set of dimension six operators. The connection with all possible s- or t-channel exchanged particle will be made. In this last case, same and opposite sign top pair productions are related. However, those models turn out to be disfavored by Tevatron data.
