In the year 2004 several milestones in the measurement of the top quark mass were reached. The DO collaboration published a significant improvement of their Run I measurement of the top quark mass, and both Tevatron experiments released…
We investigate the possibility that the W+4 jets background is a source of the anomalously large top-antitop (t\={t}) charge asymmetry observed at the Tevatron. We simulate the t\={t} reconstruction of the signal and background events at…
Alternative top quark mass determinations can provide inputs to the world average with orthogonal systematic uncertainties and may help to refine the interpretation of the standard method. Among a number of recent results I focus on the…

The top quark mass is measured in the $t\bar{t}\to$ dilepton channel (lepton $= e, \mu$) using ATLAS data recorded in the year 2012 at the LHC. The data were taken at a proton--proton centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$ 8 TeV and…
Same- and opposite-sign charge asymmetries are measured in lepton+jets $t\bar{t}$ events in which a $b$-hadron decays semileptonically to a soft muon, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ from…
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 recent Tevatron measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark shows an intriguing discrepancy with Standard Model expectations, particularly at large $\ttbar$ invariant masses. Measurements of this quantity are subtle…
It has recently been shown that a new neutral vector boson $Z'$, with a mass of order 1~TeV and weak couplings to quarks only, could explain both the anomalous values of $R_b$ and $R_c$ and the apparent excess of large $E_T$ jet events…
We present a search for a new heavy particle $M$ produced in association with a top quark, $p\bar{p}\rightarrow t(M \rightarrow \bar{t}q)$ or $p\bar{p}\rightarrow \bar{t}(\bar{M}\rightarrow t\bar{q})$, where $q$ stands for up quarks and…
We present the results of a search for a new heavy top-like quark, tprime, decaying to a W boson and another quark using the CDF II Detector in Run II of the Tevatron ppbar collider. New top-like quarks are predicted in a number of models…
We report a measurement of the top quark mass using events collected by the CDF II Detector from ppbar collisions at \sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. We calculate a likelihood function for the top mass in events that are…

The discrepancy between the measured and theoretical production cross section of $b$ quarks at the Tevatron can probably be explained by the recently proposed scenario of light gluinos of mass 12-16 GeV and light sbottoms of mass $2-5.5$…
When the heaviest elementary particle known today, the top quark, was discovered in 1995 by the CDF and D0 collaborations at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, a large program to study this particle in details has started. In this article, an…
