Particle Physics Seminar

"Recent Top Quark Physics Results from the Tevatron"

Presented by Yvonne Peters, University of Manchester

Thursday, November 19, 2009, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Discovered in 1995 by CDF and D0, the top quark is the heaviest
known elementary particle today.
Due to its high mass and its short lifetime the top quark is an

interesting particle to study, not only by its own means, but also as
window to new physics.
This talk will cover the cross section measurement of double top
processes, and the rediscovery in march 2009 of the top quark in

single top processes. Furthermore, highlights of top quark property
measurements will be presented, as for example the top quark mass, as
well as a selection of searches for beyond the Standard Model
physics, involving top quarks.
