About
This will be a series of lectures concerning the recent discovery of the top quark. These lectures will cover things I have learned from hanging around proton anti-proton colliders for the past 15 years, including : Proton colliders, top quark production and decay kinematics.The D0 and CDF detectors : the finer points. Identifying W's and b quark jets. Jet spectroscopy : measuring masses with jets. Jet spectroscopy : measuring masses with jets. Scrutinizing events in which real W's are produced : the counting experiments with the CDF and D0 detectors at Fermilab. Checking the kinematics and measuring the mass and cross-section. Doing spot checks : is it a W, is there another W, is it a b, are they from top ? Seeing if top fits into the rest of the so-called Standard Model (circa 1995) My future.
