Top Production at the Tevatron: The Antiproton Awakens

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-21 v1

Abstract

A long time ago, at a laboratory far, far away, the Fermilab Tevatron collided protons and antiprotons at s=1.96\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV. The CDF and D0 experiments each recorded datasets of about 10 fb1^{-1}. As such experiments may never be repeated, these are unique datasets that allow for unique measurements. This presentation describes recent results from the two experiments on top-quark production rates, spin orientations, and production asymmetries, which are all probes of the ppˉp\bar{p} initial state.
