Abstract
Résumé

An overview of results on top quark physics from Run 1 of the LHC is presented. The ATLAS and CMS experiments each recorded about $5 {fb}^{- 1}$ of pp collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV$ and $20 {fb}^{- 1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV$ , allowing comprehensive studies of $t \bar{t}$ and single top production, precise measurements of the top mass, and studies of top quark decays. The results are generally in impressive agreement with the predictions of the Standard Model.

Un panorama des résultats sur la physique du quark top à partir des données du run 1 du LHC est présenté. Les expériences ATLAS et CMS ont enregistré chacune environ $5 {fb}^{- 1}$ de collisions pp à $\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV$ et $20 {fb}^{- 1}$ à $\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV$ . Ces donnée ont permis des études détaillées des modes de production $t \bar{t}$ et top célibataire, des mesures précises de la masse du quark top et des études des désintégrations du quark top. Les résultats sont en général en très bon accord avec les prédictions du Modèle standard.
