Top Properties and Rare Decays from the Tevatron
نویسنده
چکیده
The top quark is the most recently discovered quark. Relatively little is known about its properties so far. Due to its very large mass of about 175 GeV/c, the top quark behaves differently from all other quarks and provides a unique environment for tests of the Standard Model. Furthermore, it is believed to yield sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. This report discusses the latest measurements and studies of top quark properties and rare decays from the Tevatron in Run II. PACS.

Single Top Production and Top Properties at the Tevatron for the Cdf and Dd Collaborations
We summarize recent measurements made at the Tevatron Collider using top event candidates. Cross section and mass measurements are discussed in a separate contribution to these Proceedings. Here we report on studies of the top P T distribution in tt production and studies of single top production. Properties of top decays examined are: BF(t ! Wb)/BF(t ! Wq), helicity amplitudes of W's from top ...

متن کاملTop quark physics at hadron colliders
The top quark, discovered at the FERMILAB TEVATRON collider in 1995, is the heaviest known elementary particle. Today, ten years later, still relatively little is known about its properties. The strong and weak interactions of the top quark are not nearly as well studied as those of the other quarks and leptons. The strong interaction is most directly measured in top quark pair production. The ...
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...
متن کاملTop Quark Production and Properties at the Tevatron
The precise measurement of top quark production and properties is one of the primary goals of the Tevatron during Run II. The total tt̄ production crosssection has been measured in a large variety of decay channels and using different selection criteria. Results from differential cross-section measurements and searches for new physics in tt̄ production and top quark decays are available. Electrow...
