Top Physics at the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
Since the observation of the top quark in 1995, considerable progress has been made by the CDF and D0 collaborations in measuring top quark production and decay properties. The combined top quark mass from both experiments is mt = 174:3 5:1 GeV/c . With this determination of the top quark mass, the remaining properties of the top quark are predicted by the standard model, allowing for many new tests for physics beyond the standard model. Current and future investigations are discussed.

متن کاملMc Simulations for Top Pair and Single Top Production at the Tevatron
— Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are indispensable tools for top quark physics, both at the current Tevatron collider and the upcoming Large Hadron Collider. In this paper we review how the Tevatron experiments CDF and DØ utilize MC simulations for top quark analyses. We describe the standard MC generators used to simulate top quark pair and single top quark production, followed by a discussion o...
متن کاملTop quarks and flavor physics.
Because of the top quark’s very large mass, about 175 GeV, it now provides the best window into flavor physics. Thus, pair–production of top quarks at the Tevatron Collider is the best probe of this physics until the Large Hadron Collider turns on in the next century. I discuss aspects of the mass and angular distributions that can be measured in tt production with the coming large data samples...

متن کاملTeVatron Results on Top Quark Physics
The CDF and D0 collaborations at Fermilab’s Tevatron pp̄ collider have in place an extensive program to measure fundamental properties of the top quark. Recent results from Run I ( √ s = 1.8 TeV) and Run II ( √ s = 1.96 TeV) on the top quark’s production, mass, and decays are presented here. All results are consistent within their uncertainties with the Standard Model expectations for the top qu...
