Our calculation of the total cross section for inclusive production of $t\bar{t}$ pairs in hadron collisions is summarized. The principal ingredient of this calculation is resummation of the universal leading-logarithm effects of gluon…
Top-quark pair production is central to many facets of LHC physics. At leading order, the top and anti-top are produced in a back-to-back topology, however this topology accounts only for a minority of $t \bar t$ events with TeV-scale…
