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.

abstract
We present the third-order QCD prediction for the production of top-anti-top quark pairs in electron-positron collisions close to the threshold in the dominant S-wave state. We observe a significant reduction of the theoretical uncertainty and discuss the sensitivity to the top quark mass and width.

QCD sum rule calculations produce ground-state masses for single-top baryons like Lambda_t and mesons like T_t b-bar, with several central values slightly below constituent quark mass sums suggesting possible weak binding within uncertainties.
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.
