Title: Tevatron Legacy

Conference · · Nuovo Cim.

Several major milestones and discoveries were attained during the lifetime of the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab, from 1987 to 2011. One of the most important was the discovery of the top quark in 1995, followed by an intense program to study that particle in greater detail. In this article, I give an overview of the history of the top quark, its current status as well as the still to be completed legacy measurements at the Tevatron.
