Sumario:The LHC collider plans to start in 2007, after which millions of top quarks will be produced at the collision points. During the first period of data taking these events will provide an essential calibration tool for ATLAS, playing a key role in the detector commissioning phase. Beyond that, the top mass peak will be one of the first physics signal which will be detected in ATLAS, and the top cross section one of the first relevant measurement which we will be able to extract from our detector.
