Please give a brief summary of your poster
Top quarks are expected to be produced copiously at the LHC, both
in pairs and singly. The distinctive signatures of top-pair events,
including leptons, high jet multiplicity, b-jets and missing energy
mean that they should be easily observed in the first year of
running, and also offer an excellent tool to understand and calibrate
the initial detector performance. Single top events suffer from
smaller cross-sections and larger background, so sophisticated
analysis techniques and larger data samples are required to establish
the signal. The prospects for early ATLAS measurements in both areas
will be shown.
