# Tops in the forward region

## TL;DR

This paper reports the first observation and measurement of top quark production in the forward region at LHCb using 13 TeV data, expanding understanding of top physics in a new kinematic regime.

## Contribution

It presents the first observation and measurement of top quark pair production in the forward region at LHCb with 13 TeV data, a novel contribution to top physics.

## Key findings

- First observation of top production in a forward detector
- Measurement of top pair production cross-section at 13 TeV
- Enhanced understanding of top quark behavior in forward kinematics

## Abstract

Detailed results on top quark production at LHCb are reported from the first observation of top production in a forward region detector to the first measurement of top pair production at LHCb with 13 TeV data.
