The top story
Description
This is an overview of top quark search, with particular emphasis on the more recent results. After a brief introduction to the basic constituents of matter and their interactions the indirect evidence for the existence of top quark and its mass from LEP (Large Electron-Positron) and finally the direct observation of a top quark signal recently reported from the Tevatron collider is reported. These results are presented in the proper perspective and also some insight into the physics issues involved in the top quark search is provided. (author). 26 refs., 8 figs., 1 tab
