Description

Results for the top-pair production cross section at the Tevtron and the LHC will be presented, including a combined resummation of threshold logarithms and Coulomb corrections at NNLL accuracy. The remaining theoretical and PDF uncertainties and prospects for the measurement of the top mass from the total cross section will be discussed.
