Figure 10: Top pair mass spectrum measured by CDF<br />

The LHC experiments have also started to measure both top pair <strong>and</strong> single top cross sections<br />

(figure 11). The results are in agreement with the SM expectation.<br />

Figure 11:<br />

Top pair (left) <strong>and</strong> single top (right) cross-sections measured at LHC in comparison with Tevatron .<br />

The investigations of low cross-section Higgs <strong>and</strong> top processes rely on a good un<strong>de</strong>rst<strong>and</strong>ing of the<br />

SM background originating from high cross-section processes with hadronic jets <strong>and</strong>/or electroweak<br />

bosons. The LHC experiments have shown that their measurements of <strong>QCD</strong> processes are in good<br />

agreement with the SM within the present statistical <strong>and</strong> systematic errors.
