Description
Top quark physics will play an important role at the LHC. The interest in top quark physics is twofold: on the one hand, it is an interesting signal process allowing detailed tests of the Standard Model. On the other hand, it might also appear as an important background process for Higgs searches. In the talk, I review some aspects of top quark physics at the LHC. In particular, the NLO calculation of t \bar{t} + 1-Jet+X production is discussed.
