 | Total cross sections for top pair and single-top (sum of $t$-,$s$-channels plus $t\,W$ processes) production in \PbPb\, \pPb\ and \pp\ collisions as a function of c.m. energy. The dashed boxes indicate the nominal nucleon-nucleon c.m. energies, $\sqrtsnn$~=~5.5, 8.8, 39, 63~TeV, of the heavy-ion runs at the LHC and FCC. |
 | Theoretical nuclear modification factor as a function of the (anti)top rapidity in $\ttbar$ production in \PbPb\ (left panels) and \pPb\ (right panels) at $\sqrtsnn$~=~5.5,8.8~TeV (LHC, top panels) and 39, 63~TeV (FCC, bottom panels), computed at NLO accuracy with \mcfm. The central curve indicates the result obtained with central EPS09 parametrization and the grey band the corresponding nPDF uncertainty. |
