Toponium strengthens the spin-singlet component in top-quark pairs, substantially enhancing entanglement and enabling observable quantum steering at 10 sigma and Bell nonlocality at 9 sigma near threshold with current LHC data.
QCD sum-rule calculations give negative binding energies for toponium states consistent with near-threshold experimental signals and a central mass for the triply-top baryon slightly above three times the top-quark mass.
Phenomenological analysis using NRQCD Green's functions and reweighting shows toponium signals may be detectable in single-leptonic final states with LHC Run 2 data.
Updated non-relativistic Green's function formalism for ttbar threshold production gives a below-threshold cross section of order 6.5 pb matching recent LHC excess observations.
QCD sum-rule calculations yield single-top baryon and meson masses near the top-quark mass, with a few channels slightly below the naive quark-sum threshold.
Near-threshold top-quark pair production cross section at 13 TeV LHC is 11.67 pb with +1.43/-1.47 pb uncertainty, including NRQCD Green's function effects and comparison to POWHEG-BOX.
