Higher-order corrections to top-antitop pair and single top quark production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-02 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

I present the latest results on the theoretical cross section for top-antitop pair production as well as for single top production at the Tevatron and the LHC. The calculations include higher-order soft-gluon corrections which are dominant near threshold. The top quark transverse momentum distribution is also presented.
