We present a new method for the experimental determination of the top quark mass that is based upon the mean distance of travel of b hadrons in top quark events. The dominant systematic uncertainties of this method are not correlated with…
Twenty years after its discovery in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab, the top quark still undergoes intensive studies at the Tevatron and the LHC at CERN. In this article, recent…
The top quark physics has entered the precision era. The CDF and D0 collaborations are finalizing their legacy results of the properties of the top quark after the shutdown of the Fermilab Tevatron three years ago. The ATLAS and CMS…

The top quark, discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, is the heaviest known elementary particle today. Due to its high mass and short lifetime, the top quark plays a special role in…
We determine the top quark mass m_t using t-tbar pairs produced in the D0 detector by \sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV p-pbar collisions in a 125 pb^-1 exposure at the Fermilab Tevatron. We make a two constraint fit to m_t in t-tbar -> b W^+bbar W^-…
The search for the top squark ($\widetilde{t}_{1}$) within the kinematic reach of Tevatron Run II is of great contemporary interest. Such a $\widetilde{t}_{1}$ can explain the baryon asymmetry of the universe provided $120 ~GeV/c^{2} \leq…
We study the signatures for new TeV resonances that couple to top or bottom quarks both at the Tevatron Run II and at the LHC. We find that it is possible to study these resonances when they are produced in association with a pair of heavy…

The discovery of the stop - the Supersymmetric partner of the top quark - is a key goal of the physics program enabled by the Large Hadron Collider. Although much of the accessible parameter space has already been probed, all current…
This letter reports a measurement of the top quark mass, M_{top}, in data from p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV corresponding to 2.7 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity at the Fermilab Tevatron using the CDF II detector. Events with the…
We review recent measurements of the properties of the top quark: the decay width of the top quark, of spin correlations between the top and the antitop quarks in $\ttbar$ production, the $W$ boson helicity in top decays, the strong colour…
Since the discovery of the top quark in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron proton antiproton collider, precise measurements of its mass are ongoing. Using data recorded by the D0 and CDF experiment, corresponding…

Chromomagnetic and chromoelectric dipole interactions of the top quark are studied in a model independent framework. Limits are set on the scale of new physics that might lead to such contributions using available Tevatron data. Prospects…

We report two measurements of the top quark mass M_top using the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron in a 318 pb^-1 data sample observed in the lepton + jets final state. One method uses an event-based likelihood technique resulting in…
A supersymmetric model with four generations is proposed, in which the top quark is approximately degenerate in mass with the $W^{\pm}$ gauge boson, $m_t\simeq m_W$, leading to values of $R_b$ in better agreement with the present…
