Review of recent measurements in the top quark sector at the Tevatron

Abstract

Recent measurements in the top quark sector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider are discussed. Measurements at the Tevatron use up to 9.7/fb of data corresponding to the full data sets recorded by the CDF and D0 experiments, respectively. This review discusses the most recent measurements of inclusive and differential top quark cross sections in strong and electroweak production of top quarks and related measurements, as well as measurements of angular distributions related to asymmetries in top quark production. Furthermore the current status on the precision measurements of the mass of the top quark is discussed. Where available, combinations of CDF and D0 results are presented.
