I discuss a few selected topics related to the reconstruction of the mass of the top quark at hadron colliders. In particular, the relation between the measured top mass and theoretical definitions, such as the pole or MSbar mass, is…
The top-quark mass is one of the fundamental parameters of the Standard Model of particle physics. The latest ATLAS measurements of the top-quark mass in top quark pair final states are presented. Measurements use di-lepton, lepton+jets and…
We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run I (1992-1996) measurements with the most recent preliminary Run II (2001-present) measurements using up to 3.6 fb-1 of data…
The ambiguity in the choice of a renormalization scheme and scale for the top-quark mass leads to an additional source of theoretical uncertainty in the calculation of the Higgs boson production cross section via gluon fusion. These…
In this paper, we analyze the top-quark decay $t\to Wb$ up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^{3}$LO) QCD corrections. For the purpose, we first adopt the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) to deal with the initial pQCD…
We review recently derived NNLO QCD results for top-pair production at hadron colliders. We compare the size of the NNLO corrections in $q\bar q\to t\bar t+X$ with the LO and NLO ones, and address the question of convergence of perturbative…

The production of a top-antitop quark pair in association with a $W$ boson ($t\bar tW$) is one of the heaviest signatures currently probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Since the first observation reported in 2015 the corresponding…
