Abstract

The LHC will be a top quark factory, producing large numbers of top quarks even at the initial low luminosities. This will enable a rich program of top quark physics to be explored, both within the Standard Model and using top quarks as probes of physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent studies from ATLAS are presented, including prospects for the measurements of the production of top pairs and single top production, angular correlations in the top decay, and the precision measurement of the top quark mass. The search for physics beyond the Standard Model will be illustrated with searches for rare top decays involving Flavour Changing Neutral Currents, and the reconstruction of tt̄ resonances resulting from new heavy particles in various models.
