Top Production Properties at the Tevatron
Abstract
Following the confirmation of the top quark discovery at the Tevatron, the next step is to begin studying its properties. Because the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking is of the same order as the measured top mass, the top quark may be very sensitive to new physics. We describe measurements of the total top-antitop cross section, the top-antitop invariant mass, the top transverse momentum distribution, and single top production from Run 1 data at D0 and CDF. All of these measurements will become more precise in Run 2.
