Synopsis Measurement of the W Boson and Top Quark Masses at CDF. by : Anyes Taffard
We report on the measurements of the W boson and top-quark masses with the CDF II detector in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. We highlight the major features and uncertainties for the W mass measurement. The top-quark mass measurements are presented in each t{bar t} decay channels. The combination of the most precise measurements from CDF to date leads to M{sub top} = 172.4 {+-} 1.5(stat.) {+-} 2.2(sys.) GeV/c{sup 2}, corresponding to a relative uncertainty of 1.5%.

Synopsis Top Quark Physics at Hadron Colliders by : Arnulf Quadt
This will be a required acquisition text for academic libraries. More than ten years after its discovery, still relatively little is known about the top quark, the heaviest known elementary particle. This extensive survey summarizes and reviews top-quark physics based on the precision measurements at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, as well as examining in detail the sensitivity of these experiments to new physics. Finally, the author provides an overview of top quark physics at the Large Hadron Collider.

Synopsis Measurement of the Top Quark Mass in the Dilepton Final State Using the Matrix Element Method by : Alexander Grohsjean
The main pacemakers of scienti?c research are curiosity, ingenuity, and a pinch of persistence. Equipped with these characteristics a young researcher will be s- cessful in pushing scienti?c discoveries. And there is still a lot to discover and to understand. In the course of understanding the origin and structure of matter it is now known that all matter is made up of six types of quarks. Each of these carry a different mass. But neither are the particular mass values understood nor is it known why elementary particles carry mass at all. One could perhaps accept some small generic mass value for every quark, but nature has decided differently. Two quarks are extremely light, three more have a somewhat typical mass value, but one quark is extremely massive. It is the top quark, the heaviest quark and even the heaviest elementary particle that we know, carrying a mass as large as the mass of three iron nuclei. Even though there exists no explanation of why different particle types carry certain masses, the internal consistency of the currently best theory—the standard model of particle physics—yields a relation between the masses of the top quark, the so-called W boson, and the yet unobserved Higgs particle. Therefore, when one assumes validity of the model, it is even possible to take precise measurements of the top quark mass to predict the mass of the Higgs (and potentially other yet unobserved) particles.

Synopsis Radiative Corrections: Status And Outlook - Proceedings Of The Tennessee International Symposium by : Bennie F L Ward
This book presents the state of the art and the outlook for the theoretical and experimental aspects of radiative corrections to the SU2L x U₁ x SUc₃3 Standard Model (SM) of elementary particle physics. Particular emphasis is given to SM tests in high precision Z° physics and high energy hadron collider physics.

Synopsis Particle Physics and Cosmology by : Howard E. Haber
This book contains the lecture courses conducted at the School of the Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI, Colorado, USA) on Elementary Particle Physics in 2002. In this School, three series of lectures are presented in parallel in the area of phenomenology, TeV-scale physics, and astroparticles physics. The phenomenology lecture series covered a broad spectrum of standard research techniques used to interpret present day and future collider data. The TeV-scale physics lecture series focused on modern speculations about physics beyond the Standard Model, with an emphasis on supersymmetry and extra-dimensional theories. The lecture series on astroparticle physics treated recent developments in theories of dark matter and dark energy, the cosmic microwave background, and prospects for the upcoming era of gravitational wave astronomy.

Synopsis The Evidence for the Top Quark by : Kent W. Staley
The Evidence for the Top Quark offers both a historical and philosophical perspective on an important recent discovery in particle physics: the first evidence for the elementary particle known as the top quark. Drawing on published reports, oral histories, and internal documents from the large collaboration that performed the experiment, Kent Staley explores in detail the controversies and politics that surrounded this major scientific result.At the same time the book seeks to defend an objective theory of scientific evidence based on error probabilities.
