Scientific paper

A calculation of the total cross section for top quark production in hadron-hadron collisions is presented based on an all-orders perturbative resummation of initial-state gluon radiative contributions to the basic quantum chromodynamics subprocesses. Principal-value resummation is used to evaluate all relevant large threshold contributions. In this method there are no arbitrary infrared cutoffs, and the perturbative regime of applicability is well defined, two attributes that significantly reduce the estimated uncertainty of the results. For $p\bar{p}$ collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV and a top mass of 175 GeV, we obtain $\sigma(t\bar{t})=5.52^{+0.07}_{-0.45} pb$, in agreement with experiment. Predicted cross sections are provided as a function of top mass in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=2.0$ TeV and in $p p$ collisions at CERN LHC energies.
