Off-shell effects for top quark production at hadron colliders

A good description of processes involving the production and decay of top quarks is crucial to phenomenology at the Tevatron and LHC. In this thesis, a general method constructed using ideas from Effective Theories is presented, allowing predictions to be made for differential observables that impor...
