Measurements of Top Properties at the Tevatron

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2011-11-10 v1

Abstract

The large data samples of thousands of top events collected at the Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 allow for a variety of measurements to analyze the properties of the top quark. Guided by the question "Is the top quark observed at the Tevatron really the top quark of the standard model,'' we present Tevatron analyses studying the top production mechanism including resonant ttˉt\bar{t} production, the V-A structure of the tWbt\to Wb decay vertex, the charge of the top quark, and single-top production via flavor-changing neutral currents.
