Summary of the session on the top quark

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1028482
The CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron showed recent results on the production and properties of the top quark. The CMS and ATLAS experiments presented first observations of top events at the LHC. Prospects for the top physics at the LHC over the next few years were discussed. CDF and D0 have made remarkable progress in detemerining the properties of the top quark, which so far, conforms to the expectations of the SM. The sophisticated methods they have developed form the basis of the exploration that is now starting at the LHC. New methods, such as the use of boosted top quark signatures, will be necessary to realize fully the potential of the LHC for finding new high mass particles decaying to top and for searching for deviations from the SM. Prospects for the future of top quark physics are very bright.
