چکیده
Lecture given at LISHEP95, LAFEX International School of High Energy Physics, Workshop on Heavy Flavors , Rio de Janeiro, February 1995. I have revised the text to incorporate information from the CDF and D discovery papers. I compare the anticipated properties of the top quark with what is known experimentally about the heaviest fermion. I review the scienti c opportunities that will be presented in the near future by copious samples of top. These include re ned tests of electroweak radiative corrections, studies of the nature of top itself, and exploration of electroweak symmetry breaking. I conclude by illustrating top's in uence in the everyday world. FERMILAB{CONF{95/139{T

Top quark production at the Fermilab Tevatron probes very high mass scales, O(500 GeV ), and therefore is sensitive to new physics at this scale. Hence, it is important that we studied this process with high precision and compare the results with the standard model predictions. Also the top quark mass along with the W-boson mass can be used as an indirect measurement of the Higgs boson mass or ...
متن کاملTop-ology Top Search and Discovery
Top is a most remarkable particle, even for a quark. A single top quark weighs 175 GeV/c 2 , about as much as an atom of gold. But unlike the gold atom, which can be disassembled into 79 protons, 79 electrons, and 118 neutrons, top seems indivisible, for we discern no structure at a resolution approaching 10 −18 m. Top's expected lifetime of about 0.4 yoctosecond (0.4× 10 −24 s) makes it by far...
متن کاملRenormalization of Currents for Massive Fermions * Fermilab-conf-98/332-t
The renormalization of vector and axial-vector currents for massive fermions (in the " Fermilab formalism ") is discussed. We give results for non-degenerate masses, which are needed for semi-leptonic form factors.

DØnote 4725-CONF Measurement of the Top Quark Mass in the Dilepton Channel
We present a preliminary measurement of the top quark mass in the dilepton channel based on about 230 pb−1 of data collected by the DØ experiment during Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron collider. We show that the method used obtains consistent results using ensemble tests of events generated with the DØ Monte Carlo simulation. We apply this technique to a total of 13 dilepton events selected in ...
