Description
Top-quark pairs are expected to be produced copiously at the LHC, even at the
lower beam energy and luminosity expected in the first years of running.
Establishing the top-pair signal and measuring the production cross-section are
important benchmarks for ATLAS, and will help understand the detector
performance for events with high-pT leptons, high jet multiplicity, missing
transverse energy and b-jets. The status and prospects for these early top physics
measurements will be shown, with a particular emphasis on the progress achieved
with data so far.
