We consider top-antitop quark $(t{\bar t})$ production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with subsequent decays into dileptonic final states. We use and investigate a set of leptonic angular correlations and distributions with which all…

We present updated predictions for the total production cross section of top-quark pairs at the Tevatron and at the LHC, and, at the LHC, of heavy-quark pairs with mass in the range 0.5-2 TeV. For t\bar{t} production at the LHC we also…

We measure the correlation between the spin of the top quark and the spin of the anti-top quark in (ttbar -> W+ W- b bbar -> l+ nu b l- nubar bbar) final states produced in ppbar collisions at a center of mass energy sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV, where…

At hadron colliders, top quarks are dominantly produced in pairs ($t\bar{t}$), a production mechanism that was discovered more than twenty years ago at the Tevatron in Fermilab. Although the \ttbar process has already entered the domain of…
