The study of Standard Model (SM) physics is crucial at the LHC for several reasons. Before any discovery can be claimed a detailed understanding of the detectors should be reached and benchmark SM processes should be measured. A precise measurement of the various parameters is needed as a consistency check of the SM. Moreover, SM processes can be directly sensitive to new physics, they will allow to test QCD predictions and measure PDFs and are backgrounds for many new physics channels. In this report, the status of some analysis at ATLAS and CMS is reported focusing on W and Z inclusive cross sections and on W and top quark mass measurements. Expected results on early data are also shown.
A set of measurements of top quark pair and single top quark production in association with standard model (SM) bosons performed by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations is presented. The consistency of these results among themselves and with the SM prediction is discussed. The latest results on four top quark production are also shown.
This article presents a review of recent results on direct top quark mass measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations on $pp$ collisions collected during Run 2 of the LHC at $\sqrt{s}=$13 TeV.
Machine learning is essential in many aspects of top-quark related physics in the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations.

Recent results on top quark modelling and tuning are presented. In particular, the focus of this talk is on the studies on the definition and commissioning of the common Monte Carlo effort carried out by ATLAS and CMS within the LHCtopWG. An overview of current recommendations for modelling uncertainties is also presented.
Latest results on inclusive top-quark pair production cross-sections are presented using collision data collected by ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC. Inclusive and differential measurements of top-quark pair production cross-sections from ATLAS and CMS are presented in the resolved and boosted kinematic regions. The cross-sections are measured as a function of various kinematic observables of the top quarks, the jets and leptons of the event final state.
Selected results from searches for new physics with unconventional signatures using the ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented. Such signatures include emerging jets, heavy charged particles, displaced or delayed objects, and disappearing tracks. These signatures may arise from hidden sectors or supersymmetric models. The searches use proton-proton collision data from Run 2 of the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV.
The production of top quarks through single or rare production modes has become important due to the large amount of data collected by both ATLAS and CMS at the LHC. Many searches are now studying these processes either as a targeted signal or as an important source of background. This document reviews the Monte Carlo simulations used to model these processes in ATLAS and CMS, and how the modeling systematic uncertainties are estimated. Many analyses have also recently released a large variety of unfolded distributions. These distributions are shown and the modeling from various Monte Carlo ge…
Selected results of searches for neutral long-lived particles with displaced and delayed jets, trackless jets and emerging jets, as well as displaced muons, obtained with data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations during LHC's Run 2 are presented, as well as challenges and techniques.
The ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have performed a variety of measurements of the top quark mass, taking advantage of the abundant production of top quarks at the LHC. The most recent measurements are reported here, based on data collected at 8 and 13 TeV, with particular emphasis on the distinction between the so-called "direct" measurements and the "indirect" evaluations obtained from cross sections and differential cross sections.
Recent inclusive and differential cross section measurements of the associated production of top quark pairs with gauge bosons or heavy-flavor jets are reported. A search for physics beyond the standard model in the top quark sector is also presented. All measurements are based on data samples of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC. No significant deviation from the standard model predictions is observed.
Top quarks are produced copiously at the LHC, and a variety of related measurements has been made in the recent years by the two collaborations ATLAS and CMS. The most recent measurements of the top quark mass by the two collaborations are reported here. The top quark mass has been measured with a relative uncertainty smaller than 0.3%, making the top quark the most accurately measured quark.
The top-quark mass measurements carried out by the LHC experiments, ATLAS and CMS, are summarized. Results of different approaches to the top-quark mass reconstruction are presented. Masses from different measurements are in good agreement within uncertainties. Precision of the measurements with the directly measured top-quark mass is now better than 0.5%. Progress in determination of the top-quark pole mass is reported and the relation between the directly measured top-quark mass and top-quark pole mass is discussed.
An overview of recent searches with top quarks in the final state using up to 36 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collision data at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC is presented. In particular, searches for heavy resonances decaying into third generation quarks, searches for production of vector-like quarks and searches for dark-matter produced in association with top quarks are summarised. No significant excess over the SM prediction is found and 95% CL exclusion limits are set in a variety of models.
Several electroweak precision measurements are performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the LHC. The main ones are carried out using Drell-Yan production of single W and Z boson. They regard the measurement of the production cross sections of W and Z bosons, the mass of the W boson, and $\sin^2θ_W$. The results of the $\sin^2θ_W$ measurements have an accuracy of approximately twice that reached at LEP and SLD. Other measurements reported are about the Drell-Yan differential production cross section.
