Description
I present approximate N^3LO theoretical results for top-antitop pair production and for single-top production in association with a W boson. The higher-order corrections are from soft-gluon radiation which is dominant near partonic threshold. I present results for total cross sections as well as transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions of the top quark and compare with data at LHC energies.
