Top quark physics

Top Quark Physics: Summary

This talk summarizes recent progress in top quark physics studies for high energy linear electron-positron colliders as presented at the LCWS2000 Workshop at Fermilab. New results were presented for top pair production at threshold and in the continuum, as well as for top production at γγ colliders.

Summary of Top Quark Physics *

I briefly review standard top quark physics at hadron colliders and summarize the contributions to this conference. The possibility of new mechanisms for t ¯ t production are also discussed.

Top Quark Physics at the LHC

Even though its existence was predicted a few decades ago, and its discovery was made more than a decade ago, the top quark still plays a major role in the forefront of the experimental and theoretical challenges of high energy physics. At the LHC, the importance of the top quark can be recognized in a number of perspectives over the lifetime of the accelerator and the general purpose detectors...

Top–Quark Production 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 will discuss aspects of the mass and angular distributions that can be measured in tt production with the coming large data sa...
