The current status of top quark studies at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and at the Linear Collider (LC) is summarized. Expectations on the measurements of the top mass, couplings and decays, of the top spin polarization and of the single…
Ignorance of the form new physics will take suggests the importance of systematically analyzing all data collected at the energy frontier, with the goal of maximizing the chance for discovery both before and after the turn on of the LHC.
