摘要：Running a future Linear Collider at the top pair threshold allows for precise measurements of
the mass, the widths and the couplings of the top quark. I give a nontechnical review on recent
theoretical developments and the theory status in top threshold physics concerning QCD corrections
and top quark finite lifetime and electroweak effects. I also discuss threshold physics in
the context of measurements of the top Yukawa coupling from e
+
e
!t ¯tH and of squark pair
production.
