Pleier, Marc-Andre

The Tevatron proton-antiproton collider at Fermilab with its center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV is currently the only source for the production of top quarks. This report reflects the current status of measurements of the top quark pair production cross section and properties performed by the CDF and D0 Collaborations. Utilizing datasets of up to two fb{sup -1}, these measurements allow unprecedented precision in probing the validity of the Standard Model.
