We discuss the physics of the top quark at the Fermilab Tevatron. By the year 2000, many properties of the top quark can be measured at the Tevatron.
After the discovery of the top quark more than 20 years ago, its properties have been studied in great detail both in production and in decay. Increasingly sophisticated experimental results from the Fermilab Tevatron and from Run 1 and Run…
