Theoretical status of the top quark cross section

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We discuss the most recent calculations of the top quark total cross section and transverse momentum distributions at the Tevatron and the LHC. These calculations include the soft-gluon corrections at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). The soft NNLO corrections stabilize the scale dependence of the cross section.
