SUMMARY:Toponium at the LHC: a new frontier in top-quark physics - Benjami
 n Fuks (Paris\, LPTHE)

DESCRIPTION:The top quark\, the heaviest known elementary particle\, has l
 ong been thought unable to form bound states. However\, intriguing hints i
 n recent LHC data suggest that toponium\, a short-lived quasi-bound state 
 of a top-antitop pair\, might have left observable traces in data and poss
 ibly even been discovered. In this talk\, I will discuss why toponium is s
 uch a unique laboratory for studying the theory of the strong interaction 
 in the non-relativistic regime\, how modern techniques allow us to incorpo
 rate bound-state effects into state-of-the-art collider simulations\, and 
 what experimental signatures could reveal the presence of toponium in curr
 ent and future LHC data. I will finally highlight recent results\, ongoing
  searches and the exciting prospects for using toponium as a new window in
 to the physics of the top quark.
