We present the program Top++ for the numerical evaluation of the total inclusive cross-section for producing top quark pairs at hadron colliders. The program calculates the cross-section in a) fixed order approach with exact next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) accuracy and b) by including soft-gluon resummation for the hadronic cross-section in Mellin space with full next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy. The program offers the user significant flexibility through the large number (29) of available options. Top++ is written in C++. It has a very simple to use interface that is intuitive and directly reflects the physics. The running of the program requires no programing experience from the user.

  1. Composite top partners in exotic colour representations

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Colour-sextet top partners in composite Higgs models are excluded up to 2-2.5 TeV by current LHC data via top-rich decays, with HL-LHC reach near 3 TeV.

  2. Search for pair production of additional neutral scalars within the Inert Doublet Model in a final state with two electrons or two muons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV and 13.6 TeV

    hep-ex 2026-05 accept novelty 5.0

    No significant excess found; new exclusion limits reach m_H = 108 GeV for m_H - m_A = 78 GeV in the Inert Doublet Model.

  3. Search for charginos and neutralinos with $B-L$ $R$-parity violating decays in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and $13.6$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-05 accept novelty 4.0

    No evidence for charginos and neutralinos in R-parity violating Higgs-decay channels; masses 150-1100 GeV excluded at 95% CL assuming equal lepton branching fractions.

  4. Threshold Top-Quark Pair-Production: Cross Sections and Key Uncertainties

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    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.
