Discussion
Discussion
• LHCb now has the tools and analyses in place to make a topmeasurement
• using 2012 data, observation should be possible• large statistical uncertainty• possible inclusive combined t and tt̄ cross-section?
• what measurements are needed in the future?• separation of t and tt̄• what is the ideal suite of top measurements LHCb could make?• differential in what?• asymmetries, or just cross-sections?
