Abstract: The latest experimental results concerning the top quark physics obtained by the experiments at Large Hadron Colliders using the data produced in proton-proton collisions at s = √7 and 8 TeV are shown. The data were collected by the ATLAS detector in 2011 (7 TeV) and 2012 (8 TeV) with the integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb−1 and 21 fb−1 and the CMS detector at the same collision energies with the integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1 and 20 fb−1 , respectively. The results on different aspects of the top quark studies including searches of physics beyond the Standard Model are also reported. No signs of physics beyond the Standard Model has been found so far.
