We review the current status of the cross sections measurement of the top-quark at the LHC and at the Tevatron. Total production cross sections, studies using single top quark events and differential $rm{t}bar{rm t}$ cross sections are discussed. The associated production of top quark pairs with photons, Z and W bosons, including $rm{t}bar{rm t}$Z and $rm{t}bar{rm t}$W measurements shown for the first time at LHCP2014, are presented.

Single top-quark t-channel production is exploited for studies of top quark properties. The analyses include the measurement of the CKM matrix element, $|V_{tb}|$, search for anomalous couplings of the top quark using a Bayesian neural network analysis, measurement of single top-quark polarization which directly confirms the V-A nature of the $tWb$ production vertex, and the measurement of W-helicity fractions in the phase space sampled by a selection optimized for t-channel single top-quark production, orthogonal to the $toverline{t}$ final states used in traditional measurements of these properties. All measurements are found to be consistent with the standard model predictions.
Updates of electroweak single top quark production measurements by the D0 collaboration are presented using 5.4fb^-1 of proton-antiproton collision data from the Tevatron at Fermilab. Measurements of the t-channel, s-channel and combined single top quark production cross section are presented, including an updated lower limit on the CKM matrix element |V_tb|. Also reported are results from searches for gluon-quark flavor-changing neutral currents and W boson production.

A review of the main recent results on top quark production from the ATLAS and CMS experiments is presented. Results on both electroweak single top quark production and strong top pair production are presented.

In this article, I review recent measurements of the production of the top quark in $pbar p$ collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $sqrt s=1.96$~TeV in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, recorded by the CDF and D0 Collaborations. I will present the Tevatron combination of measurements of the $tbar t$ production cross section and its differential measurement, the first evidence for and observation of the production of single top quarks in the $s$-channel, as well the final Tevatron combination of the production of single top quarks the $s$- and $t$-channels. Furthermore, I will review the measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry in $tbar t$ events, which can be experimentally uniquely accessed in the $CP$-invariant $pbar p$ initial state at the Tevatron, and conclude with the measurements of this asymmetry in the $bbar b$ system.

This paper reports on the first observation of electroweak production of single top quarks by the DZero and CDF collaborations. At Fermilabs 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collider, a few thousand events are selected from several inverse femtobarns of data that contain an isolated electron or muon and/or missing transverse energy, together with jets that originate from the decays of b quarks. Using sophisticated multivariate analyses to separate signal from background, the DZero collaboration measures a cross section sigma(ppbar->tb+X,tqb+X) = 3.94 +- 0.88 pb (for a top quark mass of 170 GeV) and the CDF collaboration measures a value of 2.3_0.6 -0.5 pb (for a top quark mass of 175 GeV). These values are consistent with theoretical predictions at next-to-leading order precision. Both measurements have a significance of 5.0 standard deviations, meeting the benchmark to be considered unambiguous observation.
