Top Quark Physics at the Tevatron
arXiv:1302.3628 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X13300135
Abstract
The heaviest known elementary particle, the top quark, was discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab. Since its discovery, a large program was set in motion by the CDF and D0 collaborations to characterize the production and decay properties of top quarks, and investigate their potential for searches of new phenomena beyond the standard model. During the past 20 years, new methods were developed and implemented to improve the measurements and searches for new physics in the top-quark sector. This article reviews the achievements and results obtained through studies of the top quark at the Tevatron.
