Top Physics at LHC
M. Vander Donckt (for the CMS, ATLAS Collaborations)
TL;DR
The paper discusses the potential of the LHC to produce a vast number of top quark events, enabling detailed measurements and detector commissioning in early data-taking phases.
Contribution
It provides an overview of top quark measurements expected during initial LHC operations, emphasizing the collider's role as a top quark factory.
Findings
LHC will produce 1 top-antitop pair per second at specified luminosity.
Large top quark samples will aid in detector commissioning.
Early top quark measurements are crucial for LHC physics programs.
Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will provide a huge amount of top-antitop events, making the LHC a top quark factory, producing 1 tt pair per second at a luminosity of 10^33cm-2s-1. A large top quark sample will be available from the start of LHC and will play an important role in commissioning the CMS and ATLAS detectors. An overview of the top quark measurements during the first data-taking period is given.
