+Compute analytically the partonic cross sections for %$q \bar q \to t \bar t$% and %$g g \to t \bar t$% for t spin 1/2 and spin 0 at the tree level. Check your results against the LO results available in the literature:

+
+Consider the behaviour at threshold and also the relative sizes of the cross sections for corresponding masses.
+
+==== 3. ====
+
+Use any MC at tree level to calculate the cross sections for tops and stops at the Tevatron and the LHC. Make plots of the distributions and in particular of %$m_tt$%.
+
+==== 4. ====
+
+Compare your findings with [http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0002305 Top Spin and experimental tests], by Ed Berger and Tim Tait.
