40 Summary & Conclusions Heavy quark observables at high energies are calculable in a perturbative QCD framework For phenomenological studies of the top quark at the LHC, a complete fixed-order NNLO QCD calculation for σ t t is needed. Some of the necessary building blocks and possible approximated result are under study The calculation of two-loop corrections is a crucial ingredient in the NNLO program. It presents serious technical challenges, especially in the gluon fusion channel (dominant at the LHC). For the latter, only results in the ultra-relativistic limit are available In this talk the focus was on the total inclusive production cross sections. Exclusive observables require the modeling of the bottom (charm) fragmentation. Differential distributions for the inclusive cross section are also of interest and currently under study Andrea Ferroglia (Mainz U.) Heavy Quarks at High Energies OpenCharm@PANDA 9 11 / 11

The initial state has S = J = 1, the spins of t t are 1% correlated in the beam basis (both parallel or both antiparallel to the beam) Gluon channel near threshold: the total spin along the beam axis in the initial state is ; therefore the spins of t and t point in opposite directions (along the beam axis) In the ultra-relativistic limit, the spins of t and t are 1% anti-correlated in the helicity basis (both for q q and gg)
