J1.00001: Top at Run II and LHC Prospects Invited Speaker: The top quark is the most massive elementary particle in the Standard Model (SM) observed to date. It was discovered ten years ago at Fermilab's Tevatron, currently the highest energy hadron collider in the world, until the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN turns on in 2007. Measurements of top quark production and decay properties provide direct tests of the SM and could yield sensitive probes of new phenomena beyond the SM. In this talk, we present recent top quark physics results from the CDF and DZero collaborations with data collected from the ongoing Run II of the Tevatron. Additionally, we review of the prospects for studies of the top quark at the LHC. [Preview Abstract] |

J1.00002: Single Top Production Invited Speaker: Even though it has been ten years since the top quark discovery, still only very little is known experimentally about this elusive particle. Understanding in particular the electroweak interaction of the top quark is important because of the connection to electroweak symmetry breaking. At hadron colliders, this interaction produces the unique final state signature of only a single top quark. I will present the current status of searches for electroweak production of single top quarks. [Preview Abstract] |

J1.00003: Top Theory Invited Speaker: A decade after the discovery of the top quark, we still have much to learn. As the heaviest fermion, the top quark is bound to tell us something about electroweak symmetry breaking and the origin of mass, and may even play a special role. In this talk I review the role of the top quark in the Standard Model and in new physics scenarios. I also discuss what we have to learn from top physics studies in present and future high energy experiments. [Preview Abstract] |
