Top Quark Production

Abstract

Recent measurements of top quark pair and single top production are presented. The results include inclusive cross sections as well as studies of differential distributions. Evidence for single top quark production in association with a W-boson in the final state is reported for the first time. Calculations in perturbative QCD up to approximate next-to-next-to-leading order show very good agreement with the data.Comment: Physics in Collision, Slovakia, 2012 PSNUM 0
