Description

I'll review recent progress in the simulation of top quark production at the LHC. In particular, I will focus on event generators that describe the decay of the top quark beyond the LO accuracy. I will then discuss the importance of the radiative corrections in the top decay for observables potentially relevant for top mass determinations.
