Summary of the XXX Rencontre de Moriond QCD Session
Abstract
The main topics covered in this summary talk are the Large Hadron Collider, heavy ion collisions, renormalons, parton distribution functions, measurements of the strong coupling and the top quark. Of special interest this year was the discovery of the top quark by the CDF and D0 groups at Fermilab. I conclude that the evidence is compelling and that the best fit of the Standard Model top hypothesis to the data gives a top mass of $170 +/- 9 GeV with a good chisquared.
