Particle Physics Seminar

"Measurements of the Top Quark Mass at CDF Run II"

Presented by Jean-Francois Arguin, University of Toronto

Thursday, May 26, 2005, 11:00 am — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

The Tevatron at Fermilab is the only collider with sufficient center-of-mass energy to produce top quarks in the world today. One remarkable characteristic of the top quark is its huge mass that's makes it easily the heaviest particle in the standard model: $\M_top \approx 175$ GeV/c2. The Run II of the Tevatron is now underway and one of its highest priority is to provide an accurate measurement of M_top. Indeed, a precise determination of this fundamental parameter of the Standard Model
can be used to predict the Higgs boson mass that still eludes detection to date. In this talk I will present recent measurements of the top quark mass using data collected by the CDF Run II detector.
