The Top Quark: Past, Present, and Future

Creators

Description

It was 10 years ago at the Tevatron that the first evidence was seen for the top quark. As nature's heaviest known elementary particle, this object may provide a unique window into new physics processes. After reviewing early searches for the top quark, I will discuss the difficulties in observing such a heavy object and how these were overcome by the CDF and D0 experimenters. Finally I will review what we know today about top quark properties and what the prospects are for the future.
