Description
In protonproton
collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, pairs of top and antitop
quarks are
expected to be mostly produced through gluon fusion, in contrast to production at the Tevatron,
where quark annihilation dominates. Making use of the large number of top quark pairs, we
present measurements of the spin correlation between top and antitop
quarks as well as of the
topquark
charge asymmetry which constitute important tests of QCD and are sensitive to new
physics. We also discuss top production in association with bosons.
