Ten years after its discovery at the Tevatron collider, we still know little about the top quark. Its large mass suggests it may play a key role in the mechanism of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking (EWSB), or open a window of sensitivity to…
Scalar induced top decays may drastically suppress $B(t\to \ell\nu + jet)$ and still hide the top below $M_W$. The $p\bar p$ collider experiments should enlarge the scope and study the $m_t - B(t\to\ell\nu j)$ plane. Specific model…
