As the heaviest known fundamental particle, the top quark has taken a central role in the study of fundamental interactions. Production of top quarks in pairs provides an important probe of strong interactions. The top quark mass is a key…
This report contains a brief summary of the latest single top quark production cross-section measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations on pp collisions collected during Run 2 of the LHC. Various results for t-channel,…
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.
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle observed to date. Its large mass of about 173 GeV/c^2 makes the top quark act differently than other elementary fermions, as it decays before it hadronises, passing its spin information on…
Since the initial measurements of single-top quark production at the Tevatron in 2009, tremendous progress has been made at the LHC. While LHC Run 1 marked the beginning of a precision era for the single-top quark measurements in some of…

We know there is new physics at the electroweak scale, but we don't know what it is. Right now, the top quark is our only window on to this physics. In almost all models of electroweak symmetry breaking, top either couples strongly to new…
I briefly discuss some theoretical aspects of top mass measurements at the LHC. In particular, I illustrate a recent theoretical study performed using next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations interfaced to shower generators (NLO+PS) of…
The Production of single top quarks at LHC provides an ideal framework to investigate the properties of electroweak interaction, in particular of the {\it tWb} coupling. Moreover, single top is a powerful mean to identify physics beyond the…
The large integrated luminosity collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC provides the opportunity to probe the presence of new physics that could enhance the rate of very rare processes in the Standard Model (SM). The LHC can therefore…
A new method to measure the mass of the top quark at the LHC is presented. This method uses lepton energy distribution and ideally does not depend on the velocity distribution of the top quark. We perform a simulation analysis of the top…
