We present a program to calculate the total cross section for top-quark pair production in hadronic collisions. The program takes into account recent theoretical developments such as approximate next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections and it allows for studies of the theoretical uncertainty by separate variations of the factorization and renormalization scales. In addition it offers the possibility to obtain the cross section as a function of the running top-quark mass. The program can also be applied to a hypothetical fourth quark family provided the QCD couplings are standard.

Observation of a cross-section enhancement near the $t\bar{t}$ production threshold in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS observes an excess over 8 sigma in ttbar production near threshold, consistent with NRQCD color-singlet S-wave quasi-bound states, with measured cross-section 9.3^{+1.4}_{-1.3} pb.

A novel phenomenological approach to total charm cross-section measurements at the LHC
A data-driven ddFONLL extrapolation method accounts for LHC-observed charm fragmentation non-universality to derive higher total charm cross sections from D0 fiducial measurements at 5 and 13 TeV, consistent with NNLO...
