The Large Hadron Collider LHC is a top quark factory: due to its high design luminosity, LHC will produce about 200 millions of top quarks per year of operation. The large amount of data will allow to study with great precision the…
This report describes latest measurements and studies of top quark properties from the Tevatron in RunII with an integrated luminosity of up to 750pb-1. Due to its large mass of about 172GeV, the top quark provides a unique environment for…
With the advent of the Tevatron Run 2, the collider experiments, CDF and D0, have reestablished the top quark and the W and Z signals and have begun programs of precision measurements of top quark and electroweak properties. We will survey…
The LHC will be a top quark factory. In this note, the central role of the top quark for LHC physics will be discussed, and an overview will be given of the studies of top quark properties in preparation, with an emphasis on the systematic…
This experimental review gives an overview of top-quark measurements performed by the two general purpose-detectors ATLAS and CMS during the first few years of running of the Large Hadron Collider. In the years 2010 - 2012 each experiment…
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 $10^{32}-10^{33}~cm^{-2}~s^{-1}$.
The $p\bar p$ collider Tevatron, with its high center of mass energy of 2 TeV is presently the unique top quark factory in the world. Thousands of top-quarks have been produced during Run IIa. This gives the opportunity to study the…
At the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab, a large number of top quarks have been produced in the ongoing run. The CDF and DZero collaborations have made first measurements of the ttbar cross section in several decay channels, and have measured…
During the past years the CDF and D0 detectors have collected large amounts of data obtaining a relatively pure sample of pair-produced top quarks and a well understood sample containing singly-produced top quarks. These samples have been…
Top quark pair spin correlation measurements performed by the ATLAS experiment using $pp$ collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are summarized. Moreover, the measurement of a specific observable $D$ related to top quark pair spin…
The top quark is one of the least well-studied components of the standard model. In these lectures I discuss the expected properties of the top quark, which will be tested at the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. I begin…
The top quark mass measurements are based either on a direct kinematic reconstruction of the top quark decay products or on indirect measurements, where an observable sensitive to the top quark mass, such as the production cross section, is…

The top quark is by far the heaviest known fermion [1]. In consequence, experiment is just beginning to explore its properties, and some of them may yet prove to be distinctly non-standard. The very size of the top quark's mass even hints…
The mass of the top quark is a fundamental parameter of the standard model (SM) and has to be determined experimentally. The D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider with a centre-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV has…
Years after its discovery in 1995 by CDF and D0, the top quark still undergoes intense investigations at the Tevatron. Using up to the full Run~II data sample, new measurements of top quark production and properties by the D0 Collaboration…
