Title: Future top physics at the Tevatron and LHC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:379057

Top quarks are produced at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab and at the Large Hadron (proton-proton) Collider at CERN in two ways: as quark-antiquark pairs, and singly. For each mode, the cross sections and future experimental yields are presented. I then discuss some precision measurements that can be made using the anticipated large data sets. These measurements include the top quark mass, width and branching fractions, the electroweak Wtb coupling, and the CKM matrix element Vb. Detailed studies of the top quark polarization and gluon radiation will also be possible, in addition to sensitive searches for t{bar t} resonances and rare decay modes.
