We provide an update on QCD predictions for top-quark pair production close to threshold including bound state effects at the Large Hadron Collider. We compute the top-quark pair invariant mass distribution $d\sigma/dM_{t\bar{t}}$, including Coulomb resummation for bound-state effects, as well as threshold resummation for emissions of soft and collinear gluons. We discuss uncertainty estimates and present a proposal for the use of these predictions in experimental analyses.

  1. Observation of a cross-section enhancement near the $t\bar{t}$ production threshold in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    ATLAS reports an 8+ sigma excess in ttbar production near threshold, consistent with NRQCD quasi-bound states and measuring 9.3 pb.

  2. Observation of a cross-section enhancement near the $t\bar{t}$ production threshold in $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0

    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.

  3. Renormalon subtracted nonrelativistic QCD for heavy hadron systems

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    MRS-pNRQCD plus GFMC stabilizes heavy-hadron spectroscopy; NNLO baryon masses undershoot lattice QCD by 125–175 MeV with 1/m_Q scaling, and a critical mass ratio for tetraquark binding is extracted.

  4. Simultaneous extraction of top quark mass, strong coupling, effective mixing angle, and proton PDFs using inclusive DIS and proton-proton collision data

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A single xFitter global fit extracts PDFs, alpha_s(mZ), top pole mass, and sin^2 theta_eff simultaneously at NNLO, with NLO NRQCD threshold corrections, yielding m_t=172.59 GeV, alpha_s=0.1179, sin^2 theta_eff=0.23142.

  5. Top-Antitop Production and Decay at Threshold at the LHC in QCD Perturbation Theory

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    All-order threshold-enhanced QCD corrections in three new NLO+PS generators predict a ~10 pb ttbar cross section in the ATLAS threshold bin and reduce the toponium excess to a perturbative QCD effect.

  6. Top-Antitop Production and Decay at Threshold at the LHC in QCD Perturbation Theory

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    NLO+PS generators with resummed Coulomb threshold corrections show that N3LO already captures most of the ATLAS-bin enhancement, finite-width effects are small, and the loosely defined toponium piece is only a few picobarns.

  7. Extracting a Toponium Signal at the LHC with Spin and Quantum Information Tools

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Spin and quantum-information observables add only marginal statistical power beyond kinematic variables for isolating toponium in near-threshold top-pair events, but improve interpretability.

  8. New physics in toponium's shadow?

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Consistently including toponium bound-state effects inside the new-physics amplitude, not just the Standard Model one, reshapes the allowed mass–coupling region for a top-philic pseudoscalar near the top-antitop threshold.

  9. Toponium effects on quantum steering and Bell nonlocality of top quarks

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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...

  10. Phenomenology of Hypothetical Single-Top Hadronic States

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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 bin...

  11. Masses of Purely Top-Quark Bound States: Toponium and the Triply-Top Baryon

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  12. Prospects for toponium formation at the LHC in the single-lepton mode

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  13. Top Pair Threshold Revisited

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.

  14. Examining possible doubly topped baryon configurations

    hep-ph 2026-01 reject novelty 4.0

    QCD sum rules give doubly topped baryon masses of 345-350 GeV, essentially the sums of the constituent quark masses, with no sign of genuine binding.

  15. Phenomenology of Hypothetical Single-Top Hadronic States

    hep-ph 2026-05 reject novelty 3.0

    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.

  16. 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.
