The top quark, the most recently discovered fundamental particle, may hold the key to understanding the physics beyond the Standard Model. A great deal of progress on understanding the top quark has been made since its discovery just a few years ago, but much more remains to be done. With the next run of the Fermilab collider rapidly approaching, we are rebuilding the CDF detector to optimize its capabilities for these studies. I will discuss the outlook for top physics in the next five years. GSAC Talks are held every Tuesday and Thursday evening in Loomis 358.
Physics graduate students to a wide variety of research areas and potential advisors.
All first-year graduate sudents are strongly encouraged to attend.
