Top Threshold Physics

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 me...

Top Physics at Threshold and Beyond

A review on theoretical aspects of top quark physics at the Linear Collider is given with focus on the process ee → tt̄ and the presentations given at this conference. Plenary talk given at World-Wide Study of Physics and Detectors for Future Linear Colliders (LCWS 99), Sitges, Barcelona, Spain, 28 Apr 5 May 1999.

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.

Bottom and Top Physics

The production of bottom quarks at the SSC and the formalism and phenomenology of observing CP violation in B meson decays is discussed. The production of a heavy t quark which decays into a real W boson, and what we might learn from its decays is examined.
