I review the prospects for measuring the properties of the top quark at the Tevatron, with an integrated luminosity of 2 fb$^{-1}$ or more, and at LHC in the early running at instantaneous luminosities of $10^{32}-10^{33}~cm^{-2}~s^{-1}$.
An overview of recent measurements of differential top quark pair ($t\bar{t}$) production cross sections is presented, including results in boosted topologies and results both at parton and particle level. The first measurements of…
The CDF collaboration has reported a 4.1\sigma\ excess in their lepton, missing energy, and dijets channel. This excess, which takes the form of an approximately Gaussian peak centered at a dijet invariant mass of 147 GeV, has provoked a…
Measuring the total charm cross section is important for the comparison to theoretical predictions of the highest precision available for charm today, which are completely known up to NNLO QCD for the total inclusive cross sections. These…

The most recent results on the measurements of (tt) production and cross sections at 7 TeV are presented. These are obtained using CMS [1] and ATLAS [2] data collected in 2011. Recent results on the tt production cross section at 8 TeV…
We perform an up-to-date global fit of top quark effective theory to experimental data from the Tevatron, and from LHC Runs I and II. Experimental data includes total cross-sections up to 13 TeV, as well as differential distributions, for…

The allowed standard model Higgs mass range has been reduced to a region between 114 and 130 GeV or above 500 GeV, at the 99% confidence level, since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) program started. Furthermore some of the experiments at…
This paper summarizes top quark cross-section measurements at the Tevatron and the LHC. Top quark pair production cross-sections have been measured in all decay modes by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the LHC and by the CDF and D0…
The uncertainty in jet energy scale is one of the dominating systematic errors for many measurements at hadron colliders - most notably for the measurement of the top-quark-mass, inclusive jet cross section measurements and last but not…
We demonstrate that the RHIC data for hadron production in d-Au collisions for all available rapidities are compatible with geometric scaling. In order to establish the presence of scaling violations expected from small-x evolution a much…

Quark-quark and quark-lepton searches for compositenss at the Fermilab Tevatron are summarized. These are of the contact-interaction variety where sqrt(s-hat) < the hypothesized mass scales, Lambda. Tevatron experiments limit a variety of…
A measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen yields a charge radius of the proton that is smaller than the CODATA value by about 5 standard deviations. We explore the possibility that new scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and tensor…
