Heavy Quarks & Leptons
The top quark is the heaviest known fundamental particle. As it is the only quark that decays before it hadronizes, this gives us the unique opportunity to probe the properties of bare quarks. This talk will focus on a few recent precision measurements by the ATLAS Collaboration of the top quark: fiducial top pair and single top production cross sections including differential distributions...

Heavy Quarks & Leptons
Recent results on top quark properties and interactions are presented, obtained using data collected with the CMS experiment during the years 2011 and 2012 at 7 TeV and 8 TeV center-of-mass energy. Measurements are performed for the inclusive and differential top quark pair production cross sections in several top quark final states. The mass of the top quark is extracted using several...

Heavy Quarks & Leptons
I present an overview of recent measurements by the D0 experiment in the top quark sector: the forward-backward asymmetry A_FB in tt production due to higher order effects of QCD, both inclusive and differential as a function of the mass of the ttbar pair, the differential tt production cross sections, the evidence for single top quark production in the s-channel, and, to conclude, the world's...
