We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run-I (1992-1996) measurements with the most recent preliminary Run-II (2001-present) measurements using up to 2.8 fb^-1 of data.…

The top quark, being the heaviest particle of the Standard Model, is a prime candidate of where physics beyond the SM might currently hide before our eyes. There are many natural extensions of the SM that rely on top compositeness, and the…
An analysis is presented of events containing jets including at least one $b$-tagged jet, sizable missing transverse momentum, and at least two charged leptons including a pair of the same electric charge, with the scalar sum of the jet and…
The top quark, discovered at the Tevatron in 1995, is a very interesting particle. Precise measurement of the top properties using large data samples will allow stringent tests of the Standard Model and offer a unique window on new physics.…
One of the main goals of the Tevatron RunII is to look for any hints for new physics. At D0, the range of searches for new physics signals is large and one of the places we look for hints for new physics is by measuring the top quark…

The top quark was discovered in 1995. The top quark mass is now well measured at the Tevatron, with uncertainty getting below 1% of the top mass. The world average from last year was 170.9 $\pm$ 1.8 GeV/$c^2$. The new CDF measurement is 172…

The D0 and CDF collaborations recently published two independent analyses that both claim to represent the observation of the Omega_b particle, a baryon made up by a (bss) quark combination. Both signals are estimated to exceed the…
I review recent theoretical work on top-quark physics within the standard model, beyond the standard model, and at the Planck scale.
Heavy quarks, namely, the top and bottom quarks, may show great sensitiveness to new physics effects. In particular, they might have unusually large electric dipole moments. This possibility is analyzed via the corresponding one-loop…
