Luca Rottoli [HET Seminar]: Threshold Dynamics of top quark pair production at the LHC

Thursday 15 Oct 2026, 10:30 → 12:30 US/Eastern

Small Seminar Room

Recent measurements by ATLAS and CMS have observed an excess in the ttbar production cross section near the production threshold, potentially signaling the formation of a ttbar bound state. This result has sparked renewed theoretical interest in describing and simulating threshold ttbar production at colliders. After briefly reviewing the experimental status, I will discuss some of the current theoretical approaches, focusing on open issues and outstanding challenges.
