At a prospective e+e- Linear Collider (LC) a very precise determination of the top quark mass with an accuracy of $\delta m_t <= 100 MeV$ will be possible. This is to be compared with the envisaged accuracy of $\delta m_t = 1-2 GeV$ at the…
We explore a possibility of optimization of the method of determination of the top quark mass from $M_{b\ell}$ distribution in semi-leptonic decays $t \to b \ell\nu$ at LHC and a future linear collider (LC). We discover that the systematic…
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle known and its mass ($m_{\rm top}$) is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model (SM). The $m_{\rm top}$ value affects theory predictions of particle production cross-sections required…
Future lepton colliders will have a rich top quark physics program which would add to our understanding of this interesting quark and promise an ultimate precision on the experimental knowledge of top-quark mass. We present possible…
Several proposals exist for energy-frontier facilities after the HL-LHC. In this contribution I review the potential of these facilities to perform key measurements of top quark properties and interacions. Top quark precision physics at a…
I consider the measurement of the top-quark mass, the CKM matrix element V_{tb}, and the top-quark Yukawa coupling to the Higgs boson at the Tevatron, the LHC, and a Linear Collider. The theoretical motivations for these measurements, as…
We present an up-to-date overview of the problem of top quark mass determination. We assess the need for precision in the top mass extraction in the LHC era together with the main theoretical and experimental issues arising in precision top…
The top quark mass is currently measured to delta m_t^{exp,Tevatron} = 2.9 GeV and will be measured at the LHC to a precision of delta m_t^{exp,LHC} \approx 1-2 GeV. We show that even this impressive precision will not be sufficient for…
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle in the Standard Model (SM). For this reason, a precise determination of its mass $m_t$ is part of the LHC physics program. The most accurate determinations of $m_t$ rely on the kinematic…
The prospects for a precise exploration of the properties of a single or many observed Higgs bosons at future accelerators are summarized, with particular emphasis on the abilities of a Linear Collider (LC). Some implications of these…
We investigate the possibility to measure the top quark mass using the collider variable $m_{T2}$ at the LHC experiment. Monte Carlo studies of $m_{T2}$ are performed with the events corresponding to the dilepton decays of $t\bar{t}$…
Top quark production in the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t}$ at a future linear electron positron collider with polarized beams is a powerful tool to determine the scale of new physics. Studies at the $\ttbar$ threshold will allow for…
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…
Future energy-frontier electron-positron colliders will be capable of high-precision studies of top quark properties. The measurement of the top-pair production cross section around the threshold provides access to the mass of the top quark…
The top-quark mass measurements carried out by the LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, are summarized. Results of different approaches to the top-quark mass reconstruction are presented. Masses from different measurements are in good agreement…
The method of the top quark mass measurement from $M_{b l}$ distribution in $t \to b l \nu$ decays can be considerably improved if applying the technique of moments and proceeding to moments of high degree. At the LHC this allows one to…
The top-quark mass mt is one of the fundamental parameters of the standard model (SM) of particle physics. The CDF and D0 collaborations already performed very precise measurements of mt . Since the ATLAS and CMS collaborations already have…
Although often quoted as a discovery collider, the LHC will also allow for precise measurements. In particular, in the electroweak sector, the determination of the masses of the top quark and the W boson will benefit from high statistics…
In this review I give an overview on the conceptual issues involved in the question how to interpret so-called `direct top quark mass measurements', which are based on the kinematic reconstruction of top quark decay products at the Large…
The top-quark is a fundamental element of the physics program at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We review the current status of the top-quark measurements performed by ATLAS and CMS experiments in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV by…
