Measurement of the Properties of the top Quark at D{\O}
Different measurements of the properties of the top quark using up to 5.4 fb{sup -1} collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider are presented. The top mass is obtained from a study of dilepton and lepton+jets final states, while the width is obtained from a combination of the measurements of the single top production via t-channel exchange and the determination of the t {yields} Wb branching ratio. Furthermore the measurement of the helicity of the W boson from top quark decays, a measurement of t{bar t} spin correlations and a measurement of the jet pull (color flow) in t{bar t} events are presented. A wealth of measurements of properties of the top quark at D0 have been discussed showing the great performance of the Tevatron and the D0 detector. All results are consistent with the standard model expectations. The final D0 data sample will have 2-3 times the presented statistics allowing for new & more precise results in the future.
