We provide analytical results for the $O(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the polar angle dependence of the longitudinal spin-spin correlation asymmetry in $e^+e^-\to q\bar q$. For top quark pair production the $O(\alpha_s)$ corrections to the…
In view of the realistic possibility for operating high-energy polarized proton beams in future collider machines, it is highly desirable to propose for such beams, an absolute calibration allowing to measure accurately their degree of…
I review the studies, which were reported after the last Linear Collider Workshop, on top quark physics and QCD physics at a future e+e- linear collider.
This thesis presents a study of the prospects of measuring electroweak production of the top quark at the LHC. The study of the top quark is a highly topical subject as we expect significant numbers of top quarks at the LHC which will…
The distributions of the bottom quark in the process $e^+ e^- \to t \, \bar{t} \to b \, W^+ \, \bar{t}$ are considered at the $e^+ e^-$ energy corresponding to the first construction stage of the Compact Linear Collider. The cross sections…
The top-quark threshold cross section at $e^+e^-$ colliders near production threshold is investigated. We study the scale dependence of the cross section for $\sigma(e^+e^- \to ttX$) near $\sqrt{s} \simeq 2m_t$ and discuss the theoretical…
We calculate the longitudinal contribution to the alignment polarization $\Pl$ of quarks produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilation. In the Standard Model, the longitudinal alignment polarization vanishes at the Born term level and thus receives its…
We present the results of an exact calculation of gluon radiation in top production and decay at high energy electron-positron colliders. We include all spin correlations and interferences, the bottom quark mass, and finite top width…
The top quark cross section close to threshold in $e^+e^-$ annihilation is computed including the summation of logarithms of the velocity at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic order in QCD. The remaining theoretical uncertainty in the…
The degree of top polarization and strength of $t\bar{t}$ correlation are dependent on production dynamics, decay mechanism, and choice of the observables. At the LHC, measurement of the top polarization and spin correlations in $t\bar{t}$…
We study the effects of QCD corrections to the process $e^+e^-\rightarrow t\bar t+X\rightarrow b\ell^+\nu \bar b\ell^-\bar \nu+X$ above threshold. We show how to treat consistently to ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ the gluon radiation in both the…

The conjoined production at the LHC of single top and Higgs boson via $t$-channel weak boson exchange is ideal to probe the top-quark Yukawa coupling, due to a delicate cancellation between the amplitudes with the $htt$ and the $hWW$…
We present a computation of QCD next-to-leading order corrections to the top production and decay process at linear colliders. The top quarks are allowed to be off-shell and the production and decay subprocesses are treated together, thus…
The Wtb vertex can be probed on future colliders in the processes of single top production (LHC, pp mode, NLC, $\gamma e$ mode) and of top pair production (NLC, e^+ e^- mode). We analyse observables sensitive to anomalous Wtb couplings in…
