After successful discovery of the Higgs boson, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would confront the major challenge in searching for new physics and new particles. Any such observation necessitates the determination of mass and other quantum…
The production of a Higgs boson in association with a pair of top-antitop or bottom-antibottom quarks plays a very important role at both the Tevatron and the Large Hadron Collider. The theoretical prediction of the corresponding cross…
First observed in 1995, the top quark is the third-generation up-type quark of the standard model of particle physics (SM). The CDF and D\O\ collaborations have analyzed many \ttbar\ events produced by the Tevatron collider, studying many…
I present an overview of standard-model top-quark physics at the Fermilab Tevatron. Topics discussed include the top-quark mass, weak interaction, strong interaction, and rare decays.
I briefly report on what we can learn about the top quark at hadron colliders.
Top quark events in hadron collisions often contain additional hadronic jets from gluon bremsstrahlung off the quarks and gluons in the hard subprocesses. Such extra jets must be taken into account in attempts to reconstruct the momentum of…

We present an overview of Top Quark Physics - from what has been learned so far at the Tevatron, to the searches that lie ahead at present and future colliders. We summarize the richness of the measurements and discuss their possible impact…
I consider the measurement of the top-quark mass, the CKM matrix element V_{tb}, and the top-quark Yukawa coupling to the Higgs boson at the Tevatron, the LHC, and a Linear Collider. The theoretical motivations for these measurements, as…
The analytic relation between the \bar {MS} and the pole quark masses is computed to O(\alpha_s^3) in QCD. Using this exact result, the accuracy of the large \beta_0 approximation is critically examined and the implications of the obtained…

This colloquium addresses the issue of the shape of hadrons and in particular that of the proton. The concept of shape in the microcosm is critically examined. Special attention is devoted to properly define the meaning of shape for…
The dependence of the top-quark mass measurement in top-quark production on the parton distribution functions is explored through the differential distribution of the invariant mass of the top-antitop system in top-quark pair production at…
The potential for top quark physics of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider is surveyed ranging from top quark "re-discovery" and its use as a calibration tool to initial and later stage measurements.
Recently, it has been shown that the concept of the pole mass of a heavy quark becomes ambiguous beyond perturbation theory, because of the presence of infrared renormalons. We argue that the predictions of heavy quark effective theory,…
