Top-quark physics at the Large Hadron Collider

Abstract

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 collected 5 fb1^{-1} of pp collision data at s=7\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV and 20 fb1^{-1} at s=8\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV, allowing detailed studies of top-quark production and decays, and measurements of the properties of the top quark with unprecedented precision.
