Description
The LHC will be a top quark factory, producing large numbers of top quarks even at the initial low luminosities. This will enable a rich program of top quark physics to be explored, both within the Standard Model and using top quarks as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model.
Recent studies from ATLAS will be presented, including prospects for modes and angular correlations, and the precision measurement of the top quark mass. The search for physics beyond the Standard Model will be illustrated with searches for rare top decays involving flavour-changing neautral currents, and the reconstruction of ttbar resonances resulting from new heavy particles in various models.
