Top Quark Measurements at the Fermilab Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
The top quark, discovered at the Tevatron in 1995, is a very interesting particle. Precise measurement of the top properties using large data samples will allow stringent tests of the Standard Model and offer a unique window on new physics. This report contains a review of the status of the current knowledge of the top quark as provided by the Run I results of the CDF and D0 experiments. A first look at various preliminary measurements obtained with data collected during Run II will also be presented.

Top quark mass measurements at D0
We present the most recent measurements of the mass of the top quark at D0 using proton-antiproton collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The world average for the mass of the top quark is 170.9 ± 1.8 GeV/c.
متن کاملForward-backward asymmetries in top-antitop quark production at the Tevatron
We present the combined results on inclusive forward-backward asymmetries in the production of top-antitop quark pairs and their decay leptons. The analysis is based on measurements by the CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab pp Tevatron collider using all the data collected at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The measured asymmetries are in agreement with standard model predictions.
متن کاملTop Quark Pair Production and Properties Measurements at the Tevatron
The Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab with its centre of mass energy of 1.96 TeV is currently the only source for the production of top quarks. This report reflects the current status of measurements of the top quark pair production cross section and properties performed by the CDF and DØ Collaborations. Utilising datasets of up to two fb, these measurements allow unprecedented pr...
متن کاملMeasurements of top quark decay properties
I report on measurements of the properties of the top quark using data collected by the CDF and DØ detectors during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron. The helicity of the W boson arising from top quark decay, the top quark decay branching ratios, and the top quark charge have all been measured, and the results in all cases are consistent with standard model expectations.
متن کاملTop Quark Cross-Section Measurements at the Tevatron
Run II of the Tevatron collider at Fermilab is well under way and data samples larger than those of Run I are at hand. In this contribution I summarize the current status of cross-section measurements for top-quark pair (tt̄) production at the CDF and D0 / experiments. This article is a contribution to the proceedings of the EPS-HEP conference 2003 in Aachen, Germany.
