This paper describes a strategy for a general search used by the ATLAS Collaboration to find potential indications of new physics. Events are classified according to their final state into many event classes. For each event class an…
The normalised differential top quark-antiquark production cross section is measured as a function of the jet multiplicity. Using a procedure to associate jets to decay products of the top quarks, the differential cross section of the ttbar…
A search for violation of Lorentz invariance in the production of top quark pairs ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) is presented. The measured normalized differential $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ production cross section, as function of the sidereal time, is…
We study the spin properties of top quarks produced in collisions of polarized photons in the threshold region. For a relatively heavy top quark the influence of non-perturbative effects is small and its polarization parameters can be…
Measurements of normalized differential cross sections as functions of the multiplicity and kinematic variables of charged-particle tracks from the underlying event in top quark and antiquark pair production are presented. The measurements…
The top quark decays before it hadronises. Before its spin state can be changed in a process of strong interaction, it is directly transferred to the top quark decay products. The top quark spin can be deduced by studying angular…
This report summarizes recent results of inclusive and differential $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ cross section measurements from the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the LHC. Measurements at $\sqrt{s}=7,\ 8,\ 13$, and $13.6\,$TeV are compared to…
Floating-point round-off errors are ubiquitous in numerically intensive programs arising in fields such as scientific computing and optimization. As floating-point errors potentially lead to unexpected and catastrophic program failures, one…
The first measurement of the top quark pair production cross section ($\sigma_{\rm{t}\bar{\rm{t}}}$) in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV is reviewed. The data have been collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC and…
Measurements of both the inclusive and differential production cross sections of a top-quark-top-antiquark pair in association with a $Z$ boson ($t\bar{t}Z$) are presented. Final states with two, three or four isolated leptons (electrons or…

An overview of the boosted top production analyses using data collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV and 13 TeV of proton-proton collisions at the LHC is presented. These analyses use techniques for the…
Sytematic uncertainties to the single top production cross section measurement at the ATLAS experiment has been studied. Different sources of systematic uncertainties such as detector luminosity, jet energy calibration, SM background…
The large amount of data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to 140 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, has brought our knowledge of the top quark to a…
Suppose (standardized) measurements or statistics are monitored to raise an alarm when a threshold is exceeded. Often, the underlying population is heterogenous with respect to important discrete variables and thus samples may consist of…
With data collected during the first half of 2011 pp run of the Large Hadron Collider at \surds = 7 TeV, a substantial data sample of high p_T triggers, 1.08/fb, has been collected by the ATLAS detector. Measurements of the production of…
A measurement of the top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) production cross section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV is presented. The data were collected at the LHC in autumn 2017, in dedicated runs with…

We have studied a neutral toppion production process $\gamma\gamma\to f\bar{f}\Pi_{t}^{0}(f=t,b)$ in the topcolor-assisted technicolor(TC2) model. We find that the cross section of $\gamma\gamma\to t\bar{t}\Pi_{t}^{0}$ is much larger than…
We perform the threshold resummation for Higgs pair production in the dominant gluon fusion channel to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy. The calculation includes the matching to the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO)…
