Threshold Top Quark Production

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Predictions for the total cross section for e+e- -> t tbar near threshold are reviewed. The renormalization group improved results at NNLL order have improved convergence and reduced scale dependence relative to fixed order results at NNLO. Prospects for measurements of the top-quark mass, width, and Yukawa coupling are discussed.
