Because of the top quark's very large mass, about 175~GeV, it now provides the best window into flavor physics. Thus, pair--production of top quarks at the Tevatron Collider is the best probe of this physics until the Large Hadron Collider…
We present a method to establish experimentally the relation between the top-quark mass $m_t^{MC}$ as implemented in Monte-Carlo generators and the Lagrangian mass parameter $m_t$ in a theoretically well-defined renormalization scheme. We…
The production cross--section and distributions of the top quark are sensitive to new physics, e.g., the $t\overline{t}$ system can be a probe of new resonances or gauge bosons that are strongly coupled to the top quark, in analogy to…
We show that a precise measurement of the single-top production cross section at the Tevatron and the LHC can strongly constrain the model parameters of the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity. A reduction in the single-top production rate…

A long-standing question is what invariant sets can be shared by two maps acting on the same space. A similar question stands for invariant measures. A particular interesting case are expanding Markov maps of the circle. If the two involved…
Differential cross sections in the top quark sector measured at the Fermilab Tevatron collider are presented. CDF used 2.7 fb$^{-1}$ of data and measured the differential cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the $t\bar{t}$…
We present a Monte Carlo study of dijet angular distributions at $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV. First we perform a next-to-leading order QCD study; we calculate the distributions in four different bins of dijet invariant mass using different Monte…
The top quark mass will be determined to high accuracy from the shape of the ttbar total production cross section in the threshold region at a future linear e+e- collider. Presently the estimated statistical error in the measurement of the…
