Top physics prospects at LHC

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

With a high instantaneous luminosity and the large top quark pair production cross section, the Large Hadion Collider (LHC) will he a "top factory" allowing the analysis of millions of top events. After a short description of the top quark pair production mechanism and the cross section measurement, the accuracy of the top mass measurement needed for a sound consistency check of the Standard Model is hriefiy discussed. Different top mass measurement methods are presented. The observability of the single top quark production is described. Finally the observation of the Higgs boson produced in association with a top quark pair is discussed.
