We suggest an infrared-insensitive quark mass, defined by subtracting the soft part of the quark self energy from the pole mass. We demonstrate the deep relation of this definition with the static quark-antiquark potential. At leading order…
Precision predictions for phenomenologically interesting observables such as the t-tbar invariant mass distribution and forward-backward asymmetry in top-quark pair production at hadron colliders require control over the differential cross…
Recent developments in the treatment of a system of heavy quarks close to their production threshold are discussed. Particular emphasis is put on the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) corrections to the energy levels and the…
I present theoretical results at approximate NNLO from NNLL resummation for top quark production at the LHC and the Tevatron, including new results at 8 TeV LHC energy. Total cross sections are shown for t tbar production, for single top…
It was reported that the NNLO correction to the total cross section near the ttbar threshold in e+e- collisions is as large as the NLO correction to it. In the thesis, we improve the convergence of the perturbative series of the total cross…
A scan of the top quark pair production threshold at a future electron-positron collider provides the possibility for high-precision measurements of the top quark mass, and, when using two dimensional fits of the measured cross sections,…
We make use of recent results in effective theory and higher-order perturbative calculations to improve the theoretical predictions of the top-quark pair production cross section at hadron colliders. In particular, we supplement the…
A review is presented of the current experimental status of the top quark sector of the standard model. The measurements summarized include searches for electroweak single top production, the latest results on the ttbar production cross…
I present results for high-order corrections from threshold resummation to cross sections and differential distributions in top-antitop pair production and in single-top production. I show aN$^3$LO results for the total $t{\bar t}$ cross…
To achieve reliable predictions of the top-antitop threshold cross section at a future e+e- Linear Collider logarithms of the top velocity need to be resummed. I review the issues that make this problem complicated and show how the task can…
We compute the total cross section for $t\bar{t}t\bar{t}$ production at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL$^{\prime}$) accuracy. This is the first time resummation is performed for a hadron-collider process with four colored particles in the…
I discuss threshold resummation at NNLL accuracy in the standard moment-space approach in perturbative QCD for top-pair and single-top production. For top quark pair production I present new approximate NNLO results for the total cross…
We investigate $e^+ e^- \to t\bar t$ by taking into account wave function distortion effects in the near-threshold region and interpolating the correction factor to the high-energy perturbative QCD region. The strong color attraction…
We review the physics involved in the production and decay of top quarks in e^+e^- -> ttbar near threshold, with special emphasis on the recent theoretical study on the decay process of top quarks in the threshold region. The energy-angular…
We present results for the total top-pair production cross section at the Tevatron and the LHC. Our predictions supplement fixed-order results with resummation of soft logarithms and Coulomb singularities to next-to-next-to-leading (NNLL)…
In this paper, we present an improved analysis of the top-quark pair production via the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to \gamma^{*}\to t\bar{t}$ near the threshold region up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) QCD corrections. Near the…
The next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to top quark threshold pair production in gamma-gamma collisions are computed. The NNLO effects turn out to be significant. Threshold cross sections in gamma-gamma and e+e- collisions…
Top quark pair production close to threshold at a next linear collider is discussed, with special focus on the influence of rescattering corrections. Numerical results are shown for the differential cross-section, i.e. the momentum…
We investigate top quark pair production near the threshold where the pair invariant mass $M_{t\bar{t}}$ approaches $2m_t$, which provides sensitive observables to extract the top quark mass $m_t$. Using the effective field theory methods,…
We report on the precision determination of the top-quark mass to next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD in well-defined renormalization schemes using data from the Large Hadron Collider for single-top and top-quark pair production. We also…
