The top quark is currently being studied in detail at the Tevatron. Its production cross-section has been measured in a variety of channels; its mass has been determined to better than 2%. Top quark decays have been tested and non-standard production mechanisms searched for. So far, all of the top quark's properties are consistent with the Standard Model (SM). LHC will allow to increase the precision of the previously mentioned measurements, and will also open up new possibilities such as observation of spin correlations or Flavour-Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) in top production and decay

Abstract
The top quark is currently being studied in detail at the Tevatron. Its production cross-section has been measured in a variety of channels; its mass has been determined to better than 2%. Top quark decays have been tested and non-standard production mechanisms searched for. So far, all of the top quark's properties are consistent with the Standard Model (SM). LHC will allow to increase the precision of the previously mentioned measurements, and will also open up new possibilities such as observation of spin correlations or Flavour-Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) in top production and decayFile in questo prodotto:
